Book Order

My book came before time. I thought that was awesome because it gave me a chance to get started with the reading prior to the course starting.

Great Deal!
January 9, 2023

This was a great buy, book was in great condition actually, I don't even think it was used to be honest. This site saved me $60 of retail price, much appreciated!

Terrible Customer Service
February 8, 2023

Long delays and responses seem automated. I can only hope my book return is processed correctly. Keeping everything in case I need to dispute with my CC company.

Fast & Reliable
January 9, 2023

Service is good, with prompt communication of order status. Polybag packaging is OK, given that these are used books. Quality of the books is OK; I would describe them as Good.

Somewhat satisfied
January 9, 2023

The used book I received had some black marks inside and on the outside of the book. But, it didn't affect the words at all.

Never purchasing again
February 8, 2023

The book came in a timely fashion however it has a large, non-removable sticker plastered over the cover. The sticker advertises BooksRun. Such things are considered damage to the book. When I contacted them about this they said it was standard policy to damage all books in this manner and they had no intention to change. I'm sure not everyone will care but I for one will never buy from here again.

Didn't Accept Book but Defaced It
February 8, 2023

I sent in a BRAND NEW textbook and it was not accepted, it was my mistake that the ISBN was incorrect. However, when they returned the book they attached a permanent sticker to it lowering the value and condition of the book. Yes, I understand that it's in their terms, but it makes absolutely NO sense.

Ugh

Book not as described. Had 8 stickers under a glued down dust jacket. Asked several times for refund and call tag. No response.
