Selling My Book to BooksRun
December 7, 2023

I am very pleased of my experience in selling a book to BooksRun. Their process is very easy and fair to use. They provided a fair price including their paying for the shipping. I received a check within the time frame they conveyed. Highly recommend them!

Love my new book
December 6, 2023

I decided to purchase the book that I wanted from BooksRun because it was slightly used and would cost less than a new one. I was very pleased that the book was in great condition, I received it quickly and I saved a few dollars.

Not As Described
January 3, 2024

The book arrived in poor condition. BooksRun gave me a complete refund. I have revised my poor rating to excellent. I appreciate their integrity in this matter and would recommend them to others.

Thought it was going to be great
December 10, 2023

We were excited to find all the book we needed. Paid for everything and most of the books we ordered were cancelled and the money was returned. The ones we did get were great, but too much hassle for the classroom.

Want to Love But...
December 7, 2023

I really wanted to love this company because of the cheaper prices I've found on their books. Their customer service is majorly lacking - taking a long time to respond, despite stating on their website it would be x amount of time. I ordered the incorrect book, and they wouldn't let me send it back - Didn't want a refund, just wanted to go ahead and get that out of the way and send back. Slightly silly if you ask me. The hardest part with this company is the shipping times. I would only order from BooksRun if you had at minimum a week to wait on the book.

Easy to work with
November 29, 2023

Checks for the books came quickly and they communicated well. We did have some books they thought were not in as good of shape as we thought using their condition guide, but for the most part our outcome was very positive.
