How to Pack Your Books

To ensure safe delivery of your textbook(s), make sure your package meets all the following requirements:

• Books need to be packed tightly. You have to be able to pick up the box and not feel the books shifting inside.
• Secure the empty areas of the box with bubble wrap or packing paper. Please don't use pellets. You may ask your local post office for suitable packaging supplies.
• Consider using heavy-duty boxes, especially when sending more than 3 books. Don't simply wrap the books in paper or use soft packaging.
• Seal it with suitable packing tape. Scotch and masking are not considered to be such.
• Include a packing slip listing all the books that are being shipped.
• Wrap the contents in plastic to help them stay dry in case of rain during shipping.
• Don't use multiple copies of one label for many boxes! One label is for one box only.
• Don't use boxes that are too big. Larger boxes are more likely to be damaged during shipping than smaller ones.
• Please don't use Priority Mail/flat rate boxes (white with red stripes). The additional fees imposed on us for expedited/First Class shipping will be deducted from the buyback quote.
• All supplementary materials need to be included in the package. If there is a CD, put it inside the hardcover book to prevent breaking, not on top of it.
• You may choose to purchase additional insurance if you get an uninsured Media Mail label.
• Make sure you've included all the books and checked them by ISBN.
• Any damage that was incurred before or during shipping may decrease the price of your book.
• We don't send back for free the books that were not accepted.
• Please note that BooksRun is not responsible for any loss or damage incurred during shipping. BooksRun doesn't ship back for free the books that don't fit the criteria of acceptance.
