Please let us explain the occurred situation.

Honestly: A bookstore sold a used book. The price and shipping was acceptable. The product was arrived in good order by USPS. Must every transaction get a review?

No Response From Customer Service
September 21, 2024

Hi, I recently purchased a textbook & quickly learned I won't be needing it this semester. I submitted an inquiry asking if I can return the textbook & I have yet to receive a response. It's almost been 3 weeks.
Update: The company reached out and provided a return label. Extremely grateful, wish it didn't take a sassy review to get y'all's attention.

Generally Good.Little Hiccup in the Beginning
September 19, 2024

Generally the process was smooth. Had a hiccup with the QR code for the US post office. The QR code is only good for the day in which you got the QR code with BooksRun. The post office wouldn't accept a previously date code, even though BooksRun said it would be valid for x amount of days. There was a whole back and forth with BooksRun on the QR Code and we had to end up cancelling the order and create a new code. The risk with this is that if at this time the value of your books are lower than when you initially created the order, you will get the lower rate which sucks. Hope BooksRun can work better with USPS to understand how these QR Codes work.
