The late book missing 1/6 of its pages
February 12, 2023

I ordered my book in late November yet, it did not arrive till early January my book was missing chapters one through three and part of four yet when I try to return it, I can't as it's too late even though the book arrived late missing almost 1/6 of its contents notes it is a three hole punch book yet these people should still be checking to see if any of the material is missing, which it was when it arrived I have tried to contact the phone number yet. The people do not answer even when I call at the required time I have left reviews and even emailed the people yet. I have not gotten a response. The only thing I want is either my money back or a new book shipped in its place.

Thoroughly Used Book
January 13, 2023

I ordered a used book with BooksRun. It was a decent value; however, the condition of the book was worse than I expected. Apparently, it had been used as a textbook for some college class and had gone through at least seven owners based on all of the stickers on it. The condition of the pages were fine. There was some highlighting and underlining in it. All of that was fine. The condition of the cover of the book was what was what surprised me. It was in pretty bad shape. I would have thought the description would have been a little more explicit about the possible condition of the book. With all of that said, it is still very usable. It just looks like a piece of trash on the outside.

Would not rent from again
February 11, 2023

I recently rented two books from Booksrun. One is fine but the other has tons of writing in it. Basically all the review exercises and chapter tests are filled out. If it was just highlighting I wouldn't care but when the book nowhere did it say in the description that the book was completely marked up. I contacted customer service to ensure I first, wouldn't be penalized when I return it, and second, to see if they could possibly send me a different copy. It took over three weeks to initially respond asking for proof of my claim. I sent pictures in response and have now been waiting another week with no reply. The start of the semester is quickly coming so I guess I'm stuck with a completely defaced book for the term. Definitely would NOT recommend this site primarily due to the poor customer service experience.
