The book came in a timely fashion, but I emailed many times to try to find out why a return label wasn't included, and finally was told that it would be mailed later. If this had been made clear at the onset, it would have made things easier.

BOOKS RUN IS A SCAM
November 8, 2023

SCAM! BUYER BEWARE! Books Run does not honor their return policy. Books Run will not get back to you to give specifics including RA NUMBER for return no matter how many times you reach out. Not UNTIL I disputed charge with my credit card then Books Run sent me to collections, they increased the price of book and added collection fees. Finally Books Run responded with RA number for return, received book back and said it was returned late and still is charging me! DON'T WASTE TIME WITH THEM LIKE I HAVE!
