Our acceptance depends on current market needs and inventory levels, which can change frequently. We do our best to accept as many books as possible

Our offers vary based on current market value and our inventory levels. We strive to give you the best value along with free shipping.

Yes, shipping is free when you use the one-time Prepaid Shipping Label provided by us. You can find a link to the label on your 'BuyBack Order Detail' page found within the 'My Account' section of our website.

Please note that the FREE Prepaid Shipping Label covers just ONE box, and it should weigh no more than 40 lbs. If you use several smaller boxes, unfortunately, we won't be able to accept your BuyBack or issue a payout for your books. Also, please be aware that rejected BuyBacks cannot be shipped back.

We do not reimburse you for shipping when you use a different carrier.

Once we receive your box and confirm its contents, we'll start the payment process for ThriftBooks store credit, or to the PayPal account you provided.

Please allow up to 20 business days for your payment to be processed. This includes up to 14 business days for shipping and 5-6 business days for processing.

Absolutely! We buy books as long as they are in acceptable or better condition.
