Sold books
The whole process was pretty straightforward and easy to do. I was a little speculative after reading some negative reviews, but overall my experience was very good. Mailing the books was super easy and they even give clear instructions for every step. The only issue I had was that it took about an extra few days than expected for them to complete reviewing my books and the status was still “in transit” despite fedex saying it was delivered. I was planning on emailing soon, but everything worked out, and the status went from in transit straight to completed. Better communication on what the status of the package is would be nice, but overall it’s not a huge issue, as the timeline wasn’t something I was super worried about. I sent in what i had, and they paid me what they said they would.

Easy peazy!
Downloaded the app and scanned my books in. Took them to FedEx and they boxed them carefully. I got the insurance because I don’t trust fedex sometimes lol! A week after they were received, I got my money! Smooth process.
Would NOT Recommend
Scanned my nursing books, they quoted them at $0.17 each!! SCAM!!
Great app for selling textbooks
Easy to use, quick quotes, and a convenient way to sell textbooks for cash. Highly recommend!
Easy to use
I am decluttering my books and I find that using this app has been easy to do that. I am very happy in that many of my books were accepted and now they can find a new place to be donated or bought for. Thank you.
Reseller
Awesome to make a little cash on books that are just laying around. Easy and convenient!
App doesn’t work on my iPhone
I have an older iPhone (a 13 Pro) but it runs iOS 26 (the current os) and this app doesn’t work because it never shows the QR code for shipping. After numerous emails to the company, I finally tried on my laptop and, voilà the code appeared.
Your mileage may vary but if the app doesn’t work, try the website on a computer.

Hard to sell much. Picky about returns.
This company was hard to find many books to sell back. They didn’t allow many books, then often come back and choose not to pay the full amount. But I am happy to get some books out of my house. I just find getting $6 for over 50 high quality, classical books to be pure robbery.
Changed offer on book to $0.00
Quoted $59+ for book. Book was packaged and shipped. After BooksRun received the book they changed the offer to $0.00. They posted a dark grainy image that they claimed showed damage to the book.
10/10 would NOT recommend.

Run
So many complaints on Reddit about ppl not being paid for their books shipped in, I'm not sending mine in anymore. I guess buying is okay BuT Do NOt sale to them yours. They'll claim your books are fake then ban you. Good read it yourself.
Fast and Easy Process
Selling books with BooksRun was a very easy and fast process. This is a great company.

Especially if you have text books! It's such a great way to know they'll be offered at a lower price for students.

Simple and straightforward
Cleaned out some college textbooks I wasn’t using and made almost $100!
Fast delivery, good value
International order on academic book: Good value, arrived four days from order date. Impressive service.
Great app!
Very easy to use I always get books so this is going to be a great business deal
Returned book
I sent in a book in great shape- no writing, highlighting, tears, etc. and it was rejected as “damaged”. I paid the $4.99 out of pocket to have it returned. It’s frustrating to get a perfectly good book sent back. I’ll hesitate before selling again. Otherwise, a good experience. Got funds as expected.
