Awesome books for an amazing price!
November 27, 2023

I got VERY lucky. I ordered used books, but when they arrived...they were brand new! They even had all the cellophane on them. I'm not saying everyone will have the same experience, but I wish I had found out about BooksRun before I was going to my 6th semester! I will be telling my fellow students, though! Thank you, BooksRun!

Postage insurance scam
December 2, 2023

Your language led me to believe that shipping insurance was an affirmative option on my part. Instead, I was charged for insurance without warning or notice. What a scam!

Very Easy
November 24, 2023

BooksRun made it incredibly easy to sell our used textbooks that were no longer needed. The process was very streamlined and they paid a fair price for the books. Much better to have someone using the books instead of sitting on a shelf.

Easy!
November 23, 2023

Selling my old textbooks was super easy! They did take out a little bit for insurance but I was ok with that knowing that if anything did happen, they would pay me anyway!

Better than advertised
November 23, 2023

I was hunting for a textbook for my personal collection, and all the prices I found online were ridiculous, but the price here was actually extremely decent! The initial listing said the book was in something like "working condition", so when all the other online listings were in the $300+ range, a $20 beat-up book sounded good enough. Boy I was wrong, this book is in IMMACULATE condition! I just had to peel off some stickers and give it a delicate scrub and it looked completely new, the pages looked as if they hadn't even been touched? I live internationally so that was another concern, but it didn't even matter because shipping was a flat rate $10 for me. The shipping was decently fast, with full tracking. I'm so glad I gave this website a try, I almost thought it couldn't be real!

The quality of the book was less than expected. I don't have an image of the description I based my
Purchase on, but I would NOT have purchased if it had mentioned the considerable underlining (in ball
Point!) throughout the first three chapters (perhaps the owner stopped reading there?). Otherwise, it's in good shape and that may have led the grader to assume all of it was good.
The writing seems good and the story insightful, so I will actually read it in the next few days.

Upon getting this review initially (with two stars), BooksRun offered two options for relieving my disappointment. I accepted a 50% discount and have therefore modified my rating to 4 stars.

I had to rent a book for my superintendent's program. The book was in great condition. I suggest renting from Booksrun!
