Almost always, they do not pay what they promise when you search for their buyback price. The price they quote is for books in Very Good condition. They don't have a category of Good condition so, in my experience, they immediately downgrade most books to Acceptable and pay you a lot less than the original quote. Otherwise you have to pay $8.95 to get each book back. I rarely do business with them anymore.
Terrific website. Honest. If you mail them books in the condition stated, they will send you the quoted amount. I use this website regularly.

This service was easy to use. Offers good prices. I'm pretty sure one of my packages never made it there and I didn't get paid, but oh well. When I dropped it off at walgreens they said they would text me the receipt but never did.
Would use BooksRun again

I will start by saying I've had several excellent transactions with Booksrun; but I take issue with their counterfeit policy. It always seems like they are flagging high dollar books as counterfeit, while other buyers can validate the books with no issues. What's worse is they send a generic email to inform you it's counterfeit with absolutely no detailed information as to what led them to that conclusion. I have very happily moved all my business to other e-commerce sites.
The book flagged on this order # was actually paid by booksrun prior to them now deciding it was not authentic.
Dear User, Could you please contact us via email at [email protected] and state issue #BRSJ11162202? We’d love to hear more about this issue in order to assist you. - BooksRunTeam
Paid extra shipping to receive fast but I had to buy from somewhere else because it didn't arrive as promised. Now I just need a label to return the rental but can't get a response or a label. Hard to contact. This was a rental and no label included to return, so had to search for number to call to get label to return and that has not been successful. Just include the label so people don't have to waste their time searching g for numbers and contacts. No one answered my email to date for the label.
