I really wanted to love this company because of the cheaper prices I've found on their books. Their customer service is majorly lacking - taking a long time to respond, despite stating on their website it would be x amount of time. I ordered the incorrect book, and they wouldn't let me send it back - Didn't want a refund, just wanted to go ahead and get that out of the way and send back. Slightly silly if you ask me. The hardest part with this company is the shipping times. I would only order from BooksRun if you had at minimum a week to wait on the book.
You are more than welcome! Looking forward to hearing back from you more in the future! - BooksRun Team
Checks for the books came quickly and they communicated well. We did have some books they thought were not in as good of shape as we thought using their condition guide, but for the most part our outcome was very positive.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience! Already looking forward to doing business with you again! - BooksRun Team
We are glad to hear that you are happy with the item received! - BooksRun Team
I bought two new books from BooksRun and both came in beautiful condition and exactly when they said they would arrive.
That’s so nice that you are pleased with the order received! Thanks for the review! - BooksRun Team
I got VERY lucky. I ordered used books, but when they arrived...they were brand new! They even had all the cellophane on them. I'm not saying everyone will have the same experience, but I wish I had found out about BooksRun before I was going to my 6th semester! I will be telling my fellow students, though! Thank you, BooksRun!

Your language led me to believe that shipping insurance was an affirmative option on my part. Instead, I was charged for insurance without warning or notice. What a scam!

I found the paperback in a series to compel my collection. Arrival by mail was timely. Book protected by cardboard shipping. Well done.

BooksRun made it incredibly easy to sell our used textbooks that were no longer needed. The process was very streamlined and they paid a fair price for the books. Much better to have someone using the books instead of sitting on a shelf.

You are very welcome, Debra! It was such a pleasure to do business with you! - BooksRun Team
Selling my old textbooks was super easy! They did take out a little bit for insurance but I was ok with that knowing that if anything did happen, they would pay me anyway!
We are so glad to hear that! Already looking forward to doing business with you again, Madeira! - BooksRun Team
