“The book arrived quickly but the whole spine is damaged and cracked. The book will break in two at some point. It cost me close to $100”

“If a negative rating were available, I would select it. The moderately expensive book arrived with boards torn from spine, in a loose plastic mailer, no protection. Things happen; I get it. I reached out via support email the day the book arrived, explained the problem, and provided a photo. Two weeks later, there still has not been a response. It's almost certainly best to avoid doing business with this fly-by-night outfit.”

“I don't know why I sell books to you. I have sold you hundreds of new books and every one of them has been downgraded. You have never upgraded any of my books.”

“I am sorry to say that on my first use of this site/book buyback program that they claimed a page was torn in the front of one of the books, but it was not torn when I shipped it to them. I had also packed the books tightly in a box, with packing around them, for the shipment to booksrun.com, so their claim that I did not pack the books correctly for shipping is what caused the torn page issue. Finally, booksrun.com adjusted down the pricing on all of the books that I sent to them, even the one that had not been hardly cracked and was in mint condition. I would not recommend their service to anyone else based on my experience.”

“Paid for 2 day shipping just to get my package a week later. Book in great condition but the logistics need some work.”

“I received an email stating my order was cancelled. 2-3 weeks later the book was delivered, but it was the wrong edition.”

“Books Run didn't honor their quote for my textbooks. They downgraded the condition and stated that a "Like New" condition must arrive in factory shrinkwrap?! Absolutely absurd. Watch out for the bait-and-switch on textbook sale prices!”

“I wanted a code for a textbook and instead you had me wait six days while you sent the actual book instead of the code. I needed this for an assignment immediately and paid the money. You should have just sent it to me via email.!!!”

“Paid extra for faster shipping. Twelve days have passed since book shipped. My first assignment is now late. This company doesn’t care about the customer. They never respond to any messages. Don’t use this company.”

“TERRIBLE! I am never buying from this site again. My book came with no spine or backing to hold it together. My “book” is just pages. I’m am very upset and wrote an email with no response. Worst customer service. DONT BUY!!”

“I rented two books. I received one book within 7 days. The second book was never delivered. Customer service dragged it out for over 2 more weeks, refused to send me another copy even though there was clearly an issue on their end and the book was never sent. Even after two weeks, I had to fight just to get a refund. I will never use Booksrun again.”

“The book was not delivered, came back to sender. No delivery, no refund. The seller ignores my requests. Seems to be a scam.”

“I’m trying to return books that I got delivered that I no longer need. It’s been more than 48 hours to hear anything from anyone. I would like to send the books I ordered, received, but didn’t use and would like a refund.”

“They cheat you out of money… I got an offer to sell back a book for 1/3 of what I paid for it. I rated the book with the criteria that they gave even being generous. When they sent me the check it was $6 less than what was offered. 2 weeks have passed since I sent them an email (no options to speak with a person on their phone line) still no answer even sent the message twice. I will let my books rot before I will use them again.”
