I love the ease of use of the BooksRun app, and how it ties in with the BookScouter app as well. However, there is no way (that I've found at least) to print a packing list of the books I'm shipping. There should be a link on the order details tab that lets me click to print a packing list.

Arrived almost brand new book
October 7, 2023

Loved that I reviewed my book and it's almost brand new. Accurate book needed for class. Shipping didn't take long but placement of package by their delivery partner made it easy for someone to take item

57 Orders in Booksrun continues to ROCK
October 4, 2023
Updated review

I am a bookseller from Canada, and I was fortunate enough to start selling used books to Booksrun. Several other Book Buyback services had absolutely no interest in doing business with me as I was from Canada.

57 shipments later, Booksrun continues to ROCK. It is easy for me to figure out which books that Booksrun is interested in and their $ offer; it is easy for me to use the Booksrun APP to create a shipment; and Booksrun pays promptly. Booksrun is good at communicating where my shipments stand in the payment process. A Toast to Booksrun and doing more business together.

Moving books with Booksrun

Previous review

I have been using the book buyback services of Booksrun for 10 months now. I am pleased that Booksrun has defined book condition rules, which will make the customer's buying experience better. I have shipped boxes of books for buyback weekly, and my shipments are processed quickly, and payments are timely. 5 stars Booksrun!

He Said, She Read
October 4, 2023

My brother-in-law commented on LinkedIn about a Florida writer whose work he thought was worth reading, so I ordered it. The self-betterment reading offers is priceless, and thanks to BooksRun, I've got the tiny volume for a rainy day.
