I appreciate your love and caring for books, it shows. I have made BooksRun one of my favorite Biblio.com sellers. Thank you very much!
I tried to sell various books to this company. They owe me $93.22 and apparently a check has been issued. However, I was supposed to receive payment no later than Feb. 20th and it is now March 6th. I contacted customer service 8 days ago and still have not received a response. I am now crossing my fingers and toes. I wish I had worked with a different company. Apparently you cannot call them. I tried.
Grad school is expensive; especially since I'm paying out-of-pocket. I live five hours away from my school's nearest campus, so the bookstore obviously was not an option. I compared prices between Amazon, BooksRun, and Etsy. Not only did BooksRun have the best price, the quality of the used textbooks and the time of delivery were great. I'll definitely order again next semester!

You are very welcome! Hope to work with you more, Bruce. - BooksRun Team
Pretty easy to order, no hassle and came within the estimated delivery which made them reliable. I appreciated the honesty with this company and I truly believe they help to lower the cost of textbooks for college students who may not always have the money necessary to buy books brand new. The company also sends out emails frequently to track your order and check in with the customer which is pretty cool.

Thank you for sharing your experience! Also, we are happy to hear that you liked the item! - BooksRun Team
BooksRun's prices are always competitive, so I always compare them to my college bookstore first, whenever possible, for each required title. This experience, I paid for expedited shipping, and my BooksRun textbook was delivered ahead of schedule. I appreciated that a lot, because I was up against a deadline of needing to head back to campus. I've used BooksRun before over the years, and customer service is always great. Another five-star experience this time! Keep up the good work, BooksRun!
Sent a brand new book and got an email offering less than quoted stating due to water damage. The picture they provided did not even show water damage so I think this is a pattern for this company. Read other reviews that stated exact same issue! Quoted one price only to receive much lower payment due to "water damage"
Dear Missy,
We do understand how the situation may seem to be frustrating for you. However, please note that we strictly follow the buyback guidelines on how to process the received items. For that reason, we may recommend contacting our support team directly for clarification since we keep our policy as transparent as possible for all our valued customers. Hope for your cooperation with us.
Warm regards,

Hello. I'm a college student. I never buy books at my college bookstore unless I need to. When I googled websites with affordable prices for textbooks, I noticed BooksRun.com had the best affordable prices out of all websites I saw. Plus, they sent me my textbook on time, so I really loved that! When the book arrived, it came in a good condition. I will shop again if I need to. They are definitely added to my list when searching for textbooks.
Tip for consumers:
College students would love this website for textbooks! BooksRun.com is more likely to be better priced than your college bookstore.

I've never had a problem before but this time, The book was placed into the smallest package that it could fit in causing some damage. They did make it right by me so 10/10 for customer support.
Thank you for such amazing feedback, Kyle! We are happy to hear that our representative was able to resolve the case in the most satisfactory manner. Hope to see you again among our happy customers!- BooksRun Team
A new seller on this site, I recently removed some of my book clutter, having finished my college degree. I sold 3 books & am in the process of receiving my check for the trade. So far, it's been a good transaction of services. May it offer you the same results!

I have been contacted multiple times to give a review of my experience. Why?
I contacted BooksRun about my item and received NO REPLY.
Look it up and leave me alone!
Thank you so much, BooksRun! I received your beautiful second-hand book with FREE shipping and super-sonic speedy delivery, great packaging and delivered right to my mailbox! It doesn't get any better than this. A perfect transaction and thank you for the lovely blue Bookmark too!
I was skeptical at first when going through the entire process of sending over my old college textbooks. I wondered if they would ever make it to the warehouse but also if I'd ever get paid. Both happened very quickly and the instructions on how to get it packaged and sent to the place was very clear and easy.
I'd highly recommend this service to anyone who is looking to sell their textbooks back and get some cash back.
The book I ordered from BooksRun.com arrived promptly within the early part of the estimated delivery date range and was is in as-new condition with no noticeable shipping/handling damage. I would definitely use this site again for future book orders.

I found this company online. I had a lot of books to get rid of. I downloaded the app and it was so easy! I just scanned the isbn number with my phone and it would tell me if you were buying that book and how much you would pay. I sold 9 or 10 books that fit in one box. Shipping was free. It took a little while to get my check but I finally did. This was awesome!

I am currently a struggling college student and I purchased my textbooks for close to $200. Wanted to resell them as a way to make the money back so I decided to use Booksrun. They were offering me only $70 and I had to pay for shipping. They got the books after two weeks and offered me $0 dollars for some condition that was hidden in their terms in agreements. The kicker is that they will ship your books back for $12 out of your pocket. What a joke, do not use this website.
We do apologize for any issues that occurred with your order. The issue has already been addressed. Please contact us back for the resolution. - BooksRun Team
If you're looking to find a book that maybe is sold out everywhere, don't buy from here. This place charged us the price of a new book, but it was torn, marked up, and missing the book jacket and CD--and they just said it was in "good" condition. NEVER buy from this place. There are plenty of other good places to go. Customer service isn't helpful, either. They'll put you on hold forever with a robot.

I was able to get a book at a reasonable rate and very quickly! Thank you for offering this service to students!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Jeni! That is really nice to hear! - BooksRun Team
Ordered books but ended not taking the class. I sold them back to BooksRun less a than a month after receiving them and quote given was lowered when paid. Books were never used. Insurance was also taken.
After two support emails and a review, customer service contacted me and did honor their original quote. I appreciate their response and handling. I wish they would have used the USPS insurance process if books were damaged during shipping.
They got my rented book to me quickly and on time. It was reasonably priced and I will definitely be purchasing from them again.

Thank you for the great review, Michele! Hope to see you among our customers in the future! -BooksRun Team
Got my book in less than a week. Arrived well packaged. Book is in used but good condition... A lot of highlighting within pages but I'm not bothered by it. Very minimal writing within pages.
Will definitely use the service in the future.
