This is a great and easy way to sell any books you do not want. The only reason I have not given it five stars is not because of the ease of selling the books but rather the relatively small percent... See more

Fast and easy

Fast and easy! I appreciated the 15% bonus welcome offer. The only thing that would have made it a better experience would be a prepaid bag or box sent to my house and free pickup.

I had no issues, so I can't speak for the customer service.

I really appreciate World of Books

I really appreciate World of Books. I sell non fiction books that come into our thrift store, which supports our area Lutheran high school. There have been times with in this past year that World of Books have said that some of the books sent were not in good condition and I know that is not true. One of the books, World of Books, would have given me $22 and it looked brand new, but they said it was not in good condition and I got $0. They have done this to me about 4 times. Almost all of the books look brand new and have been read once. I wrote to you about this many months ago and I never heard back from World of Books about my complaint. I do really appreciate World of Books, but the person looking over my orders may not always be honest. Are they taking the books worth more money and selling the books themselves? I do thank World of Books for the good they do and buying most of my books.

Easy to scan and send

Easy to scan and send! First time user and waiting to see how fast turn around time is on issuing of payment. Was happy to finally declutter in a more practical way rather than just throw out the books!

Works beautifully in some situations

This can work beautifully in some instances, not in others. For me it was a toss up between using this service and putting about 30 books individually online. More than anything I wanted the space and I didn't have much energy, so this was absolutely ideal. I already had a big strong box, dropping at OnPost was simple and they paid me exactly what they promised too - incredibly simpleŵŵ. But you get so very little for each title against their own resale prices - not even a pound in most cases when many of my books were pretty much brand new. So if you have time, patience and energy to list your books yourself, you will likely make at least 10 times more. However, it did work for me on this occasion when I just needed shelf space quickly.

Getting paid for unwanted books.

Getting paid to remove unwanted books from my house is great. Unfortunately, I had 30 books this time, so I had to use two boxes to send them. There was only one FedEx Shipping Label, and you instructions say to print it up to 10 times. So, I put the label on both boxes. FedEx would not accept the same label on two boxes, as they would be unable to track them each. I had to buy a larger box and they put both my boxes inside to ship under 1 label. By the time it was all done, my almost $20 book sale netted me $4 for 30 books. That was an unfortunate learning experience that will not happen again. Other than that, book trade went well and my payment check arrived on schedule.

When my most expensive book is rejected…

When my most expensive book is rejected and it simply says moisture damage and you cannot return the book ( which I understand) I would like to have better clarification of it. A photo or two would be helpful.
