Great experience. Arrived early, great condition. This review experiene is not good, I should not have to keep adding description info to complete review.
Book was in good shape but arrived late. I paid for 2-6 expedited shipping. It was estimated to arrive in 4 days by the 24th but didn't arrive until 9 days later on the 29th. I should've just gone with the free 3-10 day shipping if it was going to take 9 days anyway.
Greetings, we do understand the frustration that such a situation may have caused. However, please note that we are always staying in touch with the carriers and our local post offices and during current circumstances, we also carefully monitor the delivery process so that we could take certain measures and/or notify our customers. It appears that due to huge amounts of incoming mail the mail carrier does not scan the packages at each location, provides updates in the tracking system with a certain delay or may simply deliver shipments without any updates in the tracking system. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly so that the required investigation of the case and further assistance can be prompt from our side. Warm regards, BooksRun Team
Often I look for used books for my academic courses. A search for used books brought be to BooksRun, where I found a new book for nearly the same price as a used book.
My only issue is that the book I purchased has what appears to be a light gouge across the top of the pages, but that's probably from shopping and handling. Otherwise - great experience and great service.
