Issues such as inadequate packaging and communication frustrations also surfaced. Overall, while many customers express satisfaction with their purchases, the company must address recurring complaints to enhance trust and customer experience.

I'll be a regular customer
April 19, 2024

The book was virtually new (though it was listed, I think, as Good or Very Good); and it arrived very quickly. I'll look for your name in the future.

Would buy from again and I did!
April 14, 2024

I was looking for a very expensive textbook and found a loose-leave edition at Books Run. Much cheaper, brand new, and shipped quickly and protectively. I just ordered a hardcover nonfiction book and am waiting for it.

Simply the best
April 8, 2024

Booksrun is the best service I've used, and I've tried them all. You can't go wrong with their customer service. Shout out to Olivia for assisting me with my return because I had dropped my classes and they were able to issue me a refund, I seriously appreciate that

They made it right.
April 6, 2024

I've never had a problem before but this time, The book was placed into the smallest package that it could fit in causing some damage. They did make it right by me so 10/10 for customer support.

So many books!
April 5, 2024

I found this company online. I had a lot of books to get rid of. I downloaded the app and it was so easy! I just scanned the isbn number with my phone and it would tell me if you were buying that book and how much you would pay. I sold 9 or 10 books that fit in one box. Shipping was free. It took a little while to get my check but I finally did. This was awesome!

I had an issue that was quickly resolved.
April 5, 2024

At the check out page there is a tab to chose insurance for your package. For my last two orders I have declined this option because my total was so small. I was deducted insurance on both orders anyway. This may be my last transaction.
UPDATE: issue was resolved through customer service quickly. Please fix insurance option tab.
