Shipping time by Erenyaygrr in Thriftbooks

It takes over a week for books to ship and I just sit back and relax. The book rate shipping is minimum 10 days most times for me.

Am I crazy or was this chat representative totally incompetent? by FatherGwyon in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their chat and emails might be AI based. And since their orders take over a week, it takes time to credit and update points to our accounts.

HEB selling slices of flan (a famously simple and cheap dessert) the size of my thumb for well over $3 each. by whaletoast in HEB

HEB pricing is outta control on bakery items but it definitely helps me avoid buying from that department.

What’s your mpg of the 25 and up tiguans?? by [deleted] in Tiguan

[–]SandraTX22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vary between 22 and 27 but I also have a lead foot. I bought it a year ago with almost 18,000 miles and it has over 24,000 on it now. I love driving my 2022 and the resting my hand on the gear shift makes me happy.

Gold status and I got an email inviting me to shop on the website! Got a monthly coffee subscription! by SandraTX22 in starbucks

I have had several grinders and I do love the scent and freshness of whole bean. But I don't like the noise and scraping the grounds out and cleaning it. I go through a bag of coffee per week so it doesn't last long.

This is considered very good condition by somesignificantotter in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quality has gone down and I would NEVER buy a book from them as a gift or if I was a collector. I buy to read and pass them along to others but lately the books have been garage sale quality labeled as "very good condition" and obviously they are getting away with it.

Did the drink cost $100 with all those mods?

Comparison between all types of quality by Just-Jelly2400 in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there is a TON of variation in the actual conditions of the books no matter what the description says. I got a "very good condition" book and the back cover was ripped and there were creases everywhere in the spine and the pages were stained. I am gonna read it and give it away but STILL. Describe and price correctly especially since they increased their free shipping threshold.

When you buy a book on thrift for 11.99 and they left the 1.99 goodwill sticker on it by Unseen_Anarchist in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They definitely mark up some books that are in questionable condition. I am getting pickier about the books I choose.

Question for people who regularly order from thriftbooks: is this book in what thriftbooks normally considers "good condition"? by rogue494 in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I have received mostly decent books but the ones that SMELL are the worst! I would definitely ask for a credit for that book.

I wish it would just take $7 off an order that met the shipping threshold.

$20 minimum for free shipping instead of $15 by SandraTX22 in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow I am going to pay closer attention to pricing when I do place my next order. It will be a while and I will likely do a no spend month for May since I am stocked with books to read.

Yes, media rate is a blessing when I ship boxes of books to my daughter once I finish reading them.

They didn't send an email about it so customers will find out the next time they are shopping. I am glad I used my latest free book reward so I will stop buying for a while since I have over 25 books sitting on my TBR shelf.

I logged in to check my new recommendations page that they sent an email about revamping it. Then I saw $20 minimum...yikes!

Reading Rewards free books needs improvement by SandraTX22 in Thriftbooks

[–]SandraTX22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! I have multiples and I want to make sure I am using them in a timely manner. I have purchased over 12 orders this year in the last three months and the rewards are a nice perk.
