    Automatically charged money without notification. That's how they make money after you rent from them due to a cheaper price. I won't use their service anymore. Use Chegg or smth else instead.

According to our records, within the order in question the item Advanced Practice Nursing: Essential Knowledge for the Profession: Essential Knowledge for the Profession, ISBN ************* was rented from us for 57 days on 10/22/2024. It appears that the rental return deadline for your order was on 12/18/2024, and before or on this date the book was supposed to be returned back to us. However, the upload of the tracking updates for the return tracking (*********************************************************************************) was provided by the mail carrier with a certain delay, thus, the charge was applied by our system automatically even though the item was shipped by you on time. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. Therefore, once you contacted us, in order to make up for the inconvenience caused, we were happy to assist you by issuing a refund for the extension charge on 12/20/2024.Once again, we are grateful that you brought this matter to our attention.

    I paid extra money for 2 day express shipping and never received my textbook. No one has reached out to me. This is a horrible company and customers should read all reviews before purchasing textbooks from them. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Try ******, *******, ******* *****, and other honest companies to purchase items from.

As per our records, the item was indeed shipped the next business day with the tracking number ************ (****************************************************************************************). Upon analyzing the information provided by the mail carrier within tracking number attributed to the prepaid shipping label provided for the order in question, it seems that the package was lost or stuck at the local post office or was still somewhere in transit due to not being scanned at one of the ***** processing facilities. We have no doubts that there was no intention to deceive us from your side, therefore, once you contacted us, in order to make up for the inconvenience caused, we were happy to assist you by issuing a refund for your order that was never received as well as stopping the automatic charges for your rental order.

    They are greedy company who likes to label a lot of authentic books as counterfeit. They'll also reduce what they pay for 2 same books, eventhough it's in separate shipments. They are crappy company and always trying to find every excuse they can to not pay you pr reduce payment as much as possible. Booksrun is the only one i ever have too many issues with. Gave them way too many chances. Never Again! Beware!!!

    Don't sell your books to them. They took the most expensive book from the buyback and claimed it was "counterfeit". Claimed they would take 3 weeks to authenticate and pay me if it was deemed authentic. When I followed up with customer support it was clear there was no authentication scheme and it was a way for them to save money and get free books for disbursement. Then said they couldn't return it because of their return policy. Don't support this deceptive company and sell your books elsewhere.

    I rented a book from Booksrun and they have charged extra pay $70.69 for the damage of the book after rental return. This was not my fault at all, because I did not know what would happen during the transit to Booksrun. The transit employee may throw the book too harsh and it could cause severe damage to the book. Their policy is the book must return with its original state no refund for the extra pay, I was speechless at that time and did not take any pictures at all. At first I received the book in a worn and torn state, I was so careless and naive that I did not take any pictures to claim my clarity that I did not tear the book cover and edges. I recommend not to rent or buy books from Booksrun.com under any conditions. PLEASE!!!!! They are not caring at all, all they do is trying to take their customers money!!!!!!! They first sent a used book but then the book came in torn and worn book. This is unacceptable!!!!!

    This company is a scam! They claimed my book was counterfeit and would not return it. The book was purchased from the bookstore through my college university so I know it was authentic. Do not use this company.

    Two times I sent in books in great condition to this company for sale. Both times, they said that my books were more damaged than I claimed, and they reduced the agreed-upon price by a substantial amount. I requested my second book back to find that it appeared to be folded in half and the cover was in terrible shape, despite the fact it was in pristine condition when I sent it. I do not recommend anyone do business with this company.
