Buying and selling is great
September 5, 2023

I've been using BooksRun for maybe 3 years now and have nothing but good things to say. I've purchased and sold to them and all transactions have been smooth sailing. They offer great prices for return books.

After originally removing one of my books, BooksRun finally got back to me. It took a couple customer service inquiries, their main line goes unmonitored, but it all got sorted out.

I cannot stress enough that your order has to be absolutely precise, including choosing the ISBN must readable to the person scanning the books, to prevent delays and errors.

Excellent Book Store Source
September 3, 2023

If you're looking for out of print books that you buy and are wrapped and shipped with great care, then BOOKSRUN is worth a concerted effort to give them a try. You will not be disappointed.

I did not request insurance on the two shipments I sold to BooksRun. I made less than $20.00 on twenty books I sold to you. When I attempted to get answers from Customer Service I was ignored. I trust FedEx to get the books to you.

Good service
October 2, 2023

This was the best price I could find for most of my books. One of the checks got lost in the mail but customer service handled it. PayPal is the better option

Automatic settings are off
October 2, 2023

Whenever I check out to send out a group of books wholesale. The settings automatically charges me $1.89 for insurance. Since I am sending small bundles often... this is a large percentage of my net gains. I am dyslexic and it is difficult for me to find the button to uncheck this feature. Sometimes I forget and the work involved in starting over is quite annoying.

Prices for buybacks should hold for 24 hours. They should not change while establishing a list. It feels like bait and switch when you offer one price that is best in the market and then as I am listing books to well wholesale this price changes. I will on principle start selling those books either myself or to another company that doesn't change their prices this frequently.

Thank you for making it clear on which service depending on its order is to be charged $5.00 for shipping. The Red helps here.

Thank you for consistency in your payout systems.

Great and Reliable
September 2, 2023

At first, I was skeptical but I took my chances with BooksRun since my old textbooks had been sitting in my room for over a year. The process was very easy and I received the money I was promised in a timely manner! I will most definitely be working with BooksRun in the future.

Booksrun cheating
October 2, 2023

I sent new books, they took as old one.
They claimed need plastic cover, in fact many new books without any cover.

Good & Pleased
September 2, 2023

Books very good - as described. Packaging could be better. Plastic wrap resulted in one book having corner bent in. But that is more a suggestion than a complaint. Pleased with result.
