Overall efficient process and performed as expected. Appreciate that the item will be reused.
Although i am pleased, i do wish you would buy back more of the books i tried to sell. Other than that, i wouldn't change a thing.
Thank you so much for the positive review, Vanessa! - BooksRun Team
Please heed my warning. I didn't listen to the other reviews but booksrun will not give you the quote they initially tell you. They will find or do something to your books to not have to pay you. My books were untouched for 2 years and I finally decided to sell them and "somehow" water damage was on one of my books and my front page of another book was torn and had tape on it. Yes I would definitely sell back a book and put " like brand new" just for the cover to be falling off and need tap. You guys are a joke and if I wasn't a broke college student I would sue the heck out of you guys. Watch your backs because karma is real.

I love the option of being able to return my books for cash. I have found so many of my textbooks are redundant yet I needed them for a few months. I love how this feels better to let someone else benefit from them too.

Answer: Dear Peyton, thank you for contacting us. It appears that FedEx made an attempt to deliver to us outside of our working days/working hours. The redelivery request is usually submitted for either the next day or the first business day, thus, we look forward to receiving your package. We apologize for the inconvenience caused and do hope for your understanding of the matter at hand. Best regards, Booksrun Team
