Not trust worthy
January 9, 2023

According to the messages I recieved, several shipments I sent were missing books. I packaged everything sent and know it was all there. Funny jow the missing ones were some of the most valuable. I was also paid much less for a couple of books in perfect condition.

Quick and in Top Condition
December 10, 2022

I purchased several Air Fryer books from several different Sellers on the same day. Booksrun was the first to arrive and in "As-New" condition. Put them on my list of buy from or don't buy from. They, of course, went into the BUY FROM AGAIN column.

Responsiveness
December 9, 2022

Grateful for BooksRun responsiveness. I bought a Christmas gift from them and didn't open the UPS shipment until 2 weeks later. I realized right away that I would have to return it and BooksRun was communicative, responsive and timely in processing my return. We (3 kids in college) use them for school textbooks too! A+++

Will not use again.
January 6, 2023

After placing my order for my book, I was unable to cancel my order because the shipping date took too long and I wasn't going to have my book for my first exam. One assistant told me that I would be able to get a full refund, after waiting weeks, trying to get a hold of someone I was unable to get a refund or any help. I will never go with this company ever again, they were not punctual or helpful one bit.

Found a book I've been looking for, for months. The used book they sent was stupidly cheap but like-new! When I reviewed other titles they have in stock, I knew I was in the promised land. What a wonderful discovery. Super-fast shipping at a very low cost. A wonderful little store!
