ThriftBooks launches BuyBack program
This program is open to both customers and non-customers of ThriftBooks, provided non-customers create a ThriftBooks account. Customers who have previously purchased books from ThriftBooks can log into their account and view their “SellBack Shelf” in their account, which will show how much ThriftBooks is offering, based on popularity and demand, to buy those books previously purchased from ThriftBooks.
Additionally, customers can enter ISBN numbers of books not purchased from ThriftBooks to find out how much ThriftBooks may pay for those books. Customers can cash out or turn their payment into store credit to use at ThriftBooks.com or on the ThriftBooks mobile app.
To ensure an efficient process, ThriftBooks offers a free Prepaid Shipping Label for shipping the books to ThriftBooks. Customers can find a link to this label on their “BuyBack Order Detail” page within the “My Account” section of the ThriftBooks website. Once ThriftBooks receives the box and confirms the contents, the customer will receive payment.
At the time of launch, books sent back to ThriftBooks via the BuyBack can only be shipped from the continental United States, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and AFO/FPO/DPO addresses. ThriftBooks does not buy Instructor Edition Textbooks, Examination Copies, Teacher’s Editions, Advanced Readers Copy (ARC), items that are sexually explicit and/or offensive, items marked “Not for resale,” or books without an ISBN.
Founded in Seattle in 2003, ThriftBooks Global has sold more than 250 million used books since its inception.
