To Our ThriftBooks Community,
Since March, all of us throughout the country and across the world have "Stayed Home to Stay Safe" during COVID-19, relying on ecommerce for many of our everyday needs. As a result, US and international shipping carriers have had to deal with a surge in package delivery volumes.
Now, with many COVID-19 precautions and restrictions still in place, shipping carriers throughout the US have forecasted a continued increase in demand for home deliveries. To avoid potential shipping delays throughout this holiday season, we encourage you to start your holiday shopping a bit earlier than normal this year, no matter where your online holiday shopping may occur.
At ThriftBooks, we are committed to delivering JOY for each of you this holiday season. With our selection of over 13 million New and Used books, we make it easy to find that new favorite recipe, rare treasure, or perfect gift. Our award-winning Customer Service team is available 24/7 to assist with your questions or concerns and our free-to-join ReadingRewards program will earn you ReadingReward points on all purchases which can then be redeemed for free books. And given our 5-star rating on Trustpilot (with over 600,000 reviews), and Best Online Shop recognition, you can shop with confidence.
We are also committed to delivering JOY for our communities throughout the US. Our ongoing partnerships with libraries and independent bookstores across the country provide them financial resources, especially impactful during these challenging times. And during these stressful months for schools, we are pleased to have delivered JOY to young readers everywhere through our continued donations of thousands of books to students in need throughout the country.
All of us at ThriftBooks believe deeply in the power of the written word and the JOY it can bring to all people. We wish each of you much JOY, be it little moments or larger events, throughout this holiday season.
Ken Goldstein
Executive Chairman, ThriftBooks
