Excellent and surprisingly quick
March 30, 2024

I was buying a book for my daughter's birthday. I didn't expect it to arrive to the UK in time. But it did and she was delighted. Thank you!

Easy process
March 30, 2024

My daughter had several textbooks she no longer needed and other sources offered too little to make the return worth it. I was pleasantly surprised by the price BooksRun offered and how easy they made the return process.

Finally Paid!
March 16, 2024

I tried to sell various books to this company. They owe me $93.22 and apparently a check has been issued. However, I was supposed to receive payment no later than Feb. 20th and it is now March 6th. I contacted customer service 8 days ago and still have not received a response. I am now crossing my fingers and toes. I wish I had worked with a different company. Apparently you cannot call them. I tried.

Poor service
March 9, 2024

******* order # - I placed this order for 4 books and three were received. On 2/23/24 i sent and email to check on my order and no response.
I was charged for 4 books and 3 were received. I need the book for my class and now the class is almost over and no book. Please remedy the situation by replying to me email and over night a book to me at no cost, and the last resort would be refund my money.

Thank you,Erika
