So many books!
April 5, 2024

I found this company online. I had a lot of books to get rid of. I downloaded the app and it was so easy! I just scanned the isbn number with my phone and it would tell me if you were buying that book and how much you would pay. I sold 9 or 10 books that fit in one box. Shipping was free. It took a little while to get my check but I finally did. This was awesome!

Affordable and simple
April 5, 2024

I have both ordered through Amazon and directly, as well as sold back to BooksRun once. Every time the items have been just as described and there have been no issues with shipping or getting paid for the item sold.

I had an issue that was quickly resolved.
April 5, 2024

At the check out page there is a tab to chose insurance for your package. For my last two orders I have declined this option because my total was so small. I was deducted insurance on both orders anyway. This may be my last transaction.
UPDATE: issue was resolved through customer service quickly. Please fix insurance option tab.

AbeBooks is my go-to site for (used) books. This was my first time ordering from BooksRun and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the book I received and the service you provided. I will make it a point to look for BooksRun offerings in the future. I'm happy to have found you!
