No, upgrading shipping after checkout is not available. This applies both to after checkout and after the order has been dispatched.

At this time, BooksRun does not offer the option to upgrade shipping once an order has been placed. If you need faster delivery, the only available solution is to:

  1. Cancel the existing order (if eligible)

  2. Place a new order with expedited shipping selected during checkout

BooksRun also offers a standard shipping option through USPS Media Mail, which may take several business days for delivery.

BooksRun ships expedited orders using:

  • USPS Priority Mail

    • Estimated delivery: 3–6 business days

    • Delivery time depends on your shipping address

Note: You can only cancel your order manually within 30 minutes after placing it. After shipping, tracking information will be provided for you to monitor your delivery progress on the carrier's website.

For Registered Users:

  1. Go to “Purchase” or “Rental” tab, depending on your order type (log in if needed).

  2. The current order status will be displayed.

  3. If you see an option to "Cancel" the item, please press the button.

For Unregistered Users:

  1. Open your email inbox.

  2. Search for a confirmation email from [email protected].

  3. Click the blue “View Order Details” button inside the email.

  4. The order status will be visible on the details page.

  5. If you see option to "Cancel" the item, please press the button.

If faster shipping is required:

  • Act quickly: Cancel your order within the 30-minute window

  • Place a new order: Select expedited shipping at checkout

Sometimes the option for expedited/2-Day shipping during the checkout is not available. It happens when the items are going to be sent by our affiliated shipping partner, therefore, only standard shipping is displayed. Additionally, marketplace sellers may have distinct shipping policies displayed on the item listing page, which could impact the shipping options available to you.

BooksRun accepts returns within 30 days of the delivery date under the following conditions:

  • The item must be returned in its original condition.

  • Refunds are issued after the returned item has been received and assessed at the warehouse.

  • Note that shipping costs are non-refundable.

Return & Refund Limitations

Please note that we do not accept returns, provide replacements, or issue refunds for the following:

1. Undesired items purchased for less than $15

This includes discretionary reasons such as:

  • No longer needed

  • Ordered by mistake

  • Found a better price

  • Didn’t like purchase

  • Item arrived too late

  • Any other similar non-defect–related reasons

2. Orders outside the 30-day return window
