They are very courteous ad prompt in response to questions. They replaced a defective solar charger right away. They are very good on payments to book sales.
I had a great experience with shipping my books and receiving a payment for my used college textbooks. Would highly recommend this website to anyone.
Thanks for sharing your opinion with us! We are happy to provide you with good services! - BooksRun Team
Booksrun is very consistent and has great prices. Some other sites pay a little faster, but I've not had any major problems. I've also had success reaching their customer service department with one or two questions I had. Overall a great site to use to sell textbooks.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Steve! We work hard towards improvements every day and appreciate your opinion! - BooksRun Team
I'm giving one star for this website. I have sent off three different books to them. In which two of the quotes I got were then adjusted to $0. In addition to that, when you request a return they ask you to pay $8.95 for the return fee. The quality of service is terrible. And it's clear they don't give you what they already quoted you. I will not be using this site again!

I am very satisfied. I received my book with out having to wait for weeks. The book was cost effective as well as the cost for expediting shipment. My book was inexpensive and I did not have three weeks to wait for a book to arrive. I received my book within a week from the time of ordering it. All o my books were not available because of the high demand for the books in my industry and limited businesses they can be purchased with. I definitely needed by book for class to get started on my assignments. Thank you for your great service and caring about your customers.
Thank you for the great review, Deneisha! Hope to see you among our customers in the future! -BooksRun Team
Not only did I receive my textbook faster than expected, but it was in brand new condition not used - very good. I was nervous about this order because I've never heard of the site, but they are amazing. Way better than paying almost $300 for a textbook. THANK YOU!
You are very welcome, Bridget! It was such a pleasure to do business with you! - BooksRun Team
Book was in much better shape than described. Shipping was faster than expected. Abe Books, who facilitate other companies such as Books Run, has become a go-to for textbook bargains.
Thanks for cooperating! That’s amazing to work with you as our valued customer! - BooksRun Team
The books ordered were delivered quickly and in great condition! Prices were extremely reasonable. They also have a book order check-in service to ale sure you are completely satisfied. PI will definitely purchase from this company again!

I purchased a used Black's Law Dictionary. The dictionary is new for all tense and purposes. It arrived in excellent condition. I am very happy with it. The book arrived exactly when they said it would. It was packaged with sturdy cardboard in such a way as to protect from travel damage. I will purchase from booksrun.com again!
You are very welcome! And thank you for your positive feedback! - BooksRun Team
Not only was I able to sell back my books for an amazing deal but I was able to rent some more books at a great deal.
We are so happy to be of help to you! Hope to work with you again! - BooksRun Team
The worst online book store I have EVER encountered. My package wasn't delivered although they said it got delivered and they ask me to go through so many loops just to get my refund like filing for a missing package through USPS. All I asked was for a refund. And they continuously delay their response time and fail to help out.

Books Run made trading in my old college and medical school textbooks very easy! They provide the shipping label and quickly pay you the money as soon as they receive the books. I will definitely use them again!

I understand that were in the middle of a pandemic still. And that the weather hasn't been good. But it took my book almost 3 weeks to get to my daughters apartment. I was expecting no more than 3 to 7 days. I only got in touch with booksrun one time out of a a dozen calls/ chats. No one answers the phone! Their chat robot Tom is terrible- no one will give me an update I couldn't even call to cancel. Never got my shipping refunded either.

I was unsure about the website since I never heard of it but it's legit and it got delivered 2 days after purchasing. The book was new and I plan to rent more books from here in the near future.
We are pleased to have you as our customer! - BooksRun Team
Got my book in time, came exactly as I ordered it, and received follow up emails making sure I got my package.
That’s so nice to hear that you are pleased with our services! Hope to work with you again! - BooksRun Team
I was really unfamiliar with how to sell my books back and this website made it very easy to do they give you the the option to use their free shipping wish I did to send the books back going things that I really wasn't too happy with was the timing overall it took a really long time to receive my payment I was guessing that it's due to The Cove aid but they do say on the website that they are experiencing delays which I definitely experienced but overall I would definitely sell my books here again and thank you too the staffing at booksrun.com
Thanks for your feedback! We do appreciate your review and opinion about our services! - BooksRun Team
Used book was like new but at a ten dollar discount, a textbook for my college-age son, came as fast as promised.
You are very welcome! Hope to work with you more, Michelle. - BooksRun Team
Great site overall! I made 49.30$ from 4 books! I would really recommend it to a seller. Textbooks give you the most money.
Thank you for sharing your experience! That is really nice to hear! - BooksRun Team

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.
