STICKER
February 23, 2024

Book was great until plastered the book with your damned sticker that I can not remove. Your advertising method sucks!

Described the book condition well, the price was reasonable compared to others. I like no shipping charges. Received in a pretty quick timeframe that provided time for reading before the next book club.

Flawless transaction

BooksRun makes it so easy to sell unwanted books to them. The quote is immediate, they provide the shipping label, and the payment comes quickly.

Feedback
January 26, 2024

Book (new) arrived in good time. A layer of bubble wrap around book (in addition to padded envelope) would have prevented minor damage to front cover.

Reasonable Prices, Great Service!
January 25, 2024

BooksRun's prices are always competitive, so I always compare them to my college bookstore first, whenever possible, for each required title. This experience, I paid for expedited shipping, and my BooksRun textbook was delivered ahead of schedule. I appreciated that a lot, because I was up against a deadline of needing to head back to campus. I've used BooksRun before over the years, and customer service is always great. Another five-star experience this time! Keep up the good work, BooksRun!

Ordered books but ended not taking the class. I sold them back to BooksRun less a than a month after receiving them and quote given was lowered when paid. Books were never used. Insurance was also taken.
After two support emails and a review, customer service contacted me and did honor their original quote. I appreciate their response and handling. I wish they would have used the USPS insurance process if books were damaged during shipping.
