BooksRun Info & Tips
QR code

Usually, when you sell your books or return rentals, you need to send the used books to the venue that provides buyback or rental services. To send them, you need to print a shipping label and attach it to the package. Easy, right? Yes, if you have a printer at home. If you don’t, you have to find a way to get this label printed. Yes, in 2021.

BooksRun found a better way. Now you can use a special QR code instead of looking for a printer to print a shipping label. No printing, no papers, and no problems shipping your books to BooksRun!

Fast and easy – ship your books to us when you sell or return rentals without printing shipping labels! Just show the QR code to the mail carrier to send the books.

Carriers included: FedEx and USPS

The feature is available for the following services:

  • Buyback (when you sell your used books to us)
  • Rentals Return (when you return the books you rented from us)

Buyback and Rentals Return

For used textbooks buyback

Once you confirm the order to sell your used books online, you will see a QR code along with other shipping instructions. Take a picture of the code, take a screenshot or just log into your account to retrieve it. Then, show this QR code to the mail carrier (USPS, FedEx), and they will print the label for you!

For rentals return

Once you decide to return the rental, go back into your account, and find the same rental order you used to order the book. You will see instructions on how to return the rental and a QR code to use when you ship the books back to BooksRun. Take a picture of the code, take a screenshot or just log into your account to retrieve it. Then, show this QR code to the mail carrier (USPS, FedEx).
