Won't respond
February 7, 2024

I recently rented a book but realized I didn't need it a day before it arrived. I emailed to see if I could return it immediately for a refund. Haven't heard back in over 2 weeks. There is also no relevant help on the website.

No Check Recieved
February 6, 2024

I returned my $250 book and no check was mailed back to me in return. Extremely displeased. This site will be reported to BBB for fraudulent activity.

BooksRun attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Great deals on books for college
January 30, 2024

While BooksRun didn't have everything we were looking for, the books they did have in inventory were in excellent condition and were a great value in comparison to purchasing them new. Not only does it save us $$ but using previously owned books is good for the planet too.

Not happy
February 5, 2024

I ordered 4 textbooks only. I only received 2. They did not refund my money for the other 2 books. One was supposed to be an ebook. Never received the link for it. Then they sent me an email that said it was because of my payment option.

Quick and efficient
January 27, 2024

I was looking for more books by a certain children's author that my child loves. The librarian suggested that there might be some at other libraries, and found three other titles. They were there within a few days. Super satisfying experience!

The order arrived to BooksRun in the expected timing and payment was disbursed in a timely fashion. However, I never received the funds to my account. But, I was assisted in a professional manner and reissued my funds! Thanks again! And will definitely use BooksRun again in the future!:-)
