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.

Sold a book
July 27, 2023

BooksRun was accurate on the time I would receive my payment for selling my book. The shipping process was easy and directions were clear on how to ship.

No way to cancel order once placed
August 26, 2023

I ordered a gift, then tried to cancel it within an hour or two when I found it was a duplicate. The staff of this company responded to me about 3 weeks later- long after the book was delivered! There was no way to cancel the order and get reimbursed.

Sell back books.
August 26, 2023

I don't like having to send you an email stating that I've printed my own mailing label.
No others that buy books require that.

July 27, 2023

I would love to help you, however I order so many books, from Abe Books & other places, that I do not keep track of them once I receive the book. The related emails are trashed. June 27, is so long ago. Now if you told me its' name, I would be able to the you the story.

Phew! I got paid.
August 26, 2023

I got paid the amount I was expecting and in a timely manner. I never know what books are going to be downgraded and I end up getting paid less than expected.

I had law books for three years of law school and was able to sell back most of them. Got back a total of close to 400 dollars. Of course I paid a lot more than that for those books but this was the best way to sell them quickly and get some return. The whole process was very smooth. The check was mailed within a reasonable time after I mailed out the books.
