However, significant concerns arise regarding the handling of book conditions and return processes, with several customers alleging deceptive practices and poor customer support. Issues such as inadequate packaging and communication frustrations also surfaced. Overall, while many customers express satisfaction with their purchases, the company must address recurring complaints to enhance trust and customer experience.

No reply at all

I had an issue with an order I placed last week. I mistakenly added insurance to it. I tried to find a way to reverse that, but couldn't, so I canceled the order. However, I am now being told that the bonus code in the canceled order cannot be re-used. I submitted an inquiry, and have heard nothing. I have a box of books sitting here waiting for a bonus code. Awful service on your end!

Got ripped off
August 30, 2023

The book I purchased was a gift for my husband. After receiving it, he pointed to the price sticker on the back. I had paid more than double the sticker price! Buyer beware!

GREAT Book Services
July 31, 2023

I ordered my book from BooksRun, the price was lower than competitors, it was mailed fast, AND I was able to sell it back to BooksRun for a fair price. SO easy, SO fast! Thank you :)

Feeling cheated
August 29, 2023

I've used your service twice now and both times, the amount I received was less than quoted. The last book I sold to your company, was never opened and therefore was basically brand new and I received less than a "fair" price.

It was very efficient
July 30, 2023

It was simple and I didn't need to buy the book for $100. I am taking a summer course and I got to rent it for a reasonable price.

Picked up a few titles that my son needed for fire academy in amazing condition and superbly low prices, too. Ordered on a Thursday night and they arrived on Saturday, well in advance of the Monday start time for his classes. The books have endured quite well and are sure to remain the foundation of his fire library as he advanced through his career. Many thanks for such stellar service!

Convenient Prices

Ordering was convenient and the pricing was reasonable. Some of my books marked like new actually had bent pages and highlighted text.
