I've ordered from BooksRun on and off for a couple years now. The books have been in the condition they advertised (good) and the shipping is fast and included in the price. Their points generally expire too quickly for me to do anything with them, but that's not a priority. The website is straightforward and well designed, and I like being able to easily see the sellback value of books I have as well.

Best Booksite Ever!
January 11, 2023

I dont know why i didn't know about booksrun sooner. College books have never been more expensive and booksrun has made it possible for me to have them at such a bargain. I will never use any other website and will definitely tell every single classmate about it. Thank you Booksrun, you guys make College a little less stressful!

Package wide open and book damp
February 10, 2023

The book came with the package wide open, with the paper side facing out. It had clearly gotten wet, so the pages are all crumpled. In this particular case, a perfect copy isn't necessary, but it didn't bode well, so I'm not sure if I would make future purchases with the company.

I ordered a used world atlas. It came faster than I expected. The cover was banged up but the pages inside were great.

Don't Trust BooksRun!
February 9, 2023

I rented an already used book from BooksRun. Ended up not even using it for class. I didn't even open the book. I just returned the book to BooksRun and they sent me a picture of the book that has the inside taped. They are charging me for the book due to heavy damage. Since I didn't even use the book, nor open it, I know that the tape was already there when I rented it. So that means BooksRun doesn't keep track of the actual condition of the book before renting it out. Foolish of me to not take pictures of every single page in the book when I got it, so I have no proof that it wasn't me. If you do have no other choice but to rent from BooksRun, make sure to take pictures of every page. Otherwise the fees will end up costing you more than any other book rental place.
