Seattle, WA, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ThriftBooks Global, LLC, the world's largest online independent used bookseller, ranked second in the Newsweek America's Best Customer Service 2023 Awards. In partnership with respected global data research firm Statista, Newsweek recognized ThriftBooks within the "Online Retailers: Home Goods" category.
"We are thrilled to land on the Newsweek America's Best Customer Service list again," said Barbara Hagen, ThriftBooks Vice President, Sales and Marketing. "It is truly an honor for us to be recognized by such well-known, trusted entities. None of this would be possible without our amazing customers or our Director of Customer Service, Hugo Munday, who leads by example. We can't wait to see next year's ranking...hopefully we’ll be able to snag the number one spot!"
Since the inaugural list in 2019, ThriftBooks has secured consecutive spots within the annual ranking, landing them in the company of notable brands such as Publix, Southwest Airlines, and Chick-fil-A. This year ThriftBooks scored an 8.78, up from last year's score of 8.40.
"As a ThriftBooks customer myself, I can attest that the companies on this list provide the kind of excellent service that brings consumers back again and again," said Nancy Cooper, Newsweek Global Editor in Chief.
This year, Newsweek and Statista gave out 676 awards to 656 unique brands across 166 categories ranging from brick-and-mortar retailers to insurance services. Rankings were determined from the results of an independent survey of more than 30,000 U.S. customers. Winning brands were scored on the likelihood of recommendation (50% of the final score), in addition to five other weighted evaluation criteria including quality of communication, professional competence, range of services, customer focus, and accessibility.
