Like Thriftbooks.com but not Thriftbooks

[drjuliadc]

I have been buying used children's educational books from Thriftbooks for a little less than a year.  I have been happy with them and ordered 48 times in less than a year, between 150-200 books. They give you a free <$7.00 book for every so many books you order. A few orders ago, they sent me a workbook that was 50% filled out.  It was in the "good" category.  I didn't contact them until after their 30 day window because, 4 kids, the reason I buy hundreds of books. They said no refund. Maybe that is reasonable, but I would like to try someone else. Do you use an online retailer for used books that is like Thriftbooks, but not Thriftbooks?

It could be the universe trying to tell me to use the library more and not buy so many books.  Haha. That was expensive too though.

I use Abebooks.com, but I rarely order consumables on there.  It's just not worth it to take the chance.  The rest of the stuff, though, I've never been disappointed.

Ditto betterworldbooks.com. I haven't ordered consumables though.

betterworldbooks.com  I have only ordered a couple of workbooks from them and they were fine to use.

We like betterworldbooks also, but I highly recommend flipping through the box when your books arrive. We've had just enough issues over the years that you either need to be on top of it, or just chalk it up to the total price of the going used route.
