Dear Grandma,
I'm young again. With all the turmoil in this country, I had the morning paper come twice on the day of this particular sunrise just moments before my highly anticipated order. And when my book arrived, right on time in its well kept glory, the paper came again.
Sincerely,
Satisfied

I ordered a used book for my business management class and there was no indicator until AFTER I placed the order that the book I had ordered was the instructor's edition. After I placed the order, it then popped up on the screen that it was the instructor's edition I had ordered. I immediately canceled that order and re-ordered the regular student's edition of the book. Canceling was easy and I was not charged for that order. The book I did receive was correct and I received it timely. However, the canceling could have been avoided all together if the description of the book BEFORE I purchased it was accurate on the website.

I have used several other book rental companies, but BooksRun have exceeded my expectations. They are quick to respond to any concern and assure that they are doing what they can. They thoroughly communicate the status of the problem/concern and give the customer comfort. I will definitely be using this book rental for the Fall and Spring, and all to come. Thank you guys for being so amazing!

There was a slight confusion about my mail carrier but after an email I was able to track my package. I received my college textbook for a VERY affordable price in a timely manner. It had a few markings but i have no problem with it! Overall GOOD condition and positive service!

Not Satisfied
June 1, 2020

They gave me an estimate of $64 on my used book so I sent it to them at their cost. They came back with a real offer of $25 because of a small water stain on the inside cover. My choice was to accept their offer or pay to have the book shipped back to me. Sounds like a bait and switch scam.

This was the only place I could find the Geology book I was looking for, which had the very precise information on the book, and when I entered an important question about the book, they replied in a timely manner. I really wanted a new book and they were the only supplier which had it and the delivery time was also very timely. A good experience for me!

Sent in my books with the free shipping, and received the payment within a a week and a half. I sent in pretty much new books, so I didn't have any problem with their verification process. Much recommended for anyone selling your books.
