Low amount of accepts
July 9, 2023

I just scanned over 200 books that very fast movers on Amazon, and booksrun only wanted 3 books and offered 1 dollar for all 3.

Compared to powells. I scanned 200 books of fast movers and they offered me 40 cash or 80 store credit for 40 books.

This really was a waste of time. And considering the app isn't working very well, and pair that with the website being clunky.

It's just not worth spending 2 hours getting everything accurate scanned and read by your subpar system for 2 bucks.

Powells, sbyb, ziffit, piggy book, all have an easy interface that works great. 20 minutes to scan a couple hundred books and usually an offer around 20 bucks from each company.

I'm I'm the 5th year in bulk books and booksrun is a very soft hit or miss.

Too picky
July 9, 2023

Seller prices are great but at times BR downgraded the price of some books when the books were in excellent shape. Other companies don't do that so I use them more often.

Poorest customer service
July 9, 2023

First I tried to cancel my order, that was showing not shipped. Only to be notified there are no humans to take a call. The order came over a week later. I still wanted to return the order, only to have an email 72 hours after order delivery saying it's not possible to return the order. Nearly $300 spent and available help. The phone number available for the company states no one will ever answer your call, and to not expect assistance. It also states not to repeat your concerns and it will only further delay service. I'm still trying to get service from anyone other than Viola, who clearly was hired the day before her text to me. I will never recommend nor purchase anything from a company that has no follow up or real customer service.
