Got my book FAST
February 17, 2023

I received my book way before the date that the website stated and I am so happy because I had initially ordered this book from a different website and it never arrived. I really needed this book asap for my class that started 2 weeks ago. Thank you!

Great Resource for Textbooks
February 15, 2023

I've used BooksRun to sell and buy textbooks. They have always had the titles I need at competitive pricing.

Never Received, Nobody Helped Me
March 17, 2023

My book never arrived. I contacted support x3. January 26th they sent a pregenerated email saying that they received my inquiry. I waited weeks for a response. February 18th they sent me another pregenerated email asking if I received my book. I clicked that I did not receive my book. I waited again, nothing, no response whatsoever. Finally I disputed the charges. My credit card resolved the issues a few weeks later. Once the rental period for the book I never received ended, they fraudulently charged me $72 for a book I never received. I contacted Booksrun again, and filed a dispute with my bank. My bank once again resolved the issues. I would not recommend this company at all.

Update: They said to check my email for a resolution, but that's a lie. I disputed the charges with my card company, and they resolved it, not Booksrun. Booksrun did absolutely nothing, so I'm very confused what I should check my email for. BTW, there's nothing from Booksrun except them trying to say this review isn't valid--which isn't true. I've uploaded all the proof. Do not buy from this company.

Lack of communication/Inaccuracy
March 16, 2023

I am a college student. I ordered a textbook for one of my classes before the start of my semester. When it had been confirmed that my item was delivered, I had received the wrong textbook. I sent in a request form for my order to be reviewed in hopes of communicating with someone over the next several business days. I hadn't received a reply regarding my need for a refund until my second request form. It took over two weeks for me to receive a reply and assistance. And, because I attend college and needed to complete assignments with this textbook, I was forced to repurchase this item off of another site. I'd like to add that the phone number that BooksRun encourages you to call is not reliable. I was greatly disappointed & will, most likely, never purchase from here again.

I got my book quickly
February 13, 2023

Pretty easy to find and but the book I needed for a university class. I like using this platform instead of amazon, as it appears to be geared toward education.

Arrived fast and great condition
February 12, 2023

My book showed up practically new at just a quarter of the usual price ($60 vs. like $270). It was half the price people were trying to sell it for on thrift books. Will definitely use BooksRun in the future!
