I rented a book that to purchase would have been expensive. I received it quickly and when it was time to return it the process was simple. I saw your advertisement to buy books and sold you 3 for a fair price and that process was also simple. Would definitely recommend BooksRun
I rented a technical book from BookRun because it was so expensive the entire process was so simple. After renting a book I found out they did buybacks. So I looked into it and they offered me a fair price and paid for the shipping. It was a great experience and they were very easy to deal with
I had an issue with a book and booksRun was very helpful in helping me with resolving the issue.
Got what I asked for in the condition that was acceptable.
The website quoting process and the mailing process were simple. It just takes too long for USPS to deliver, this causing a delay on when you have access to funds.
Thanks for the feedback, Leslie! Hope to see you again doing business with us! - BooksRun Team

The book was virtually new (though it was listed, I think, as Good or Very Good); and it arrived very quickly. I'll look for your name in the future.

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.
