reviews and complaints

I returned them books for sure, but they say I didn't. And they charged me for books rental and for books themselves. I regret I didn't print my receipt out so I could prove what they did was wrong. They blamed me for things I haven't done and took my money. The way you treat your customers is terrible and I wish you to lose all of them. I will never use them again.

Upon returning two books to two different renters, my daughter mixed up the editions of the same book. Bookrenter swore they received the correct book. The other renter then returned Bookrenter's book (and charged me $115 for the one Bookrenter kept). After two months of trying to resolve, I provided Bookrenter with the USP # of their book that I had in my possession and provided them with a label I paid for to request return of the other, more expensive book. They then claimed they "discarded or recycled" the more expensive book. While I know they cannot be held responsible for books returned in error, they continued to lie about receiving the "correct" book until I had proof that they couldn't have, then relieved themselves of responsibility. Terrible customer service, ran me in circles for two months with ridiculous responses.

I ordered a 3-months rental and the books I received were horribly damaged! I contacted customer service and the bookrenter promising to expedite the shipping of a replacement. But I never received anything and contacted them again asking what was the problem. I was told that my books are no longer in stock. I told them I will keep the damaged books since I need them for my work. But they said that I already ordered a replacement and their system will not let them change it, so I will have to return the damaged book back within 30 days or I will get a punishment. I was like „Is this a joke? If it is then it is not a funny one!” Well that's fine by me, I will never order from them again!

BookRenter.com is Horrible. I rented two books and returned them before due date. I put the TWO books in ONE package as the return instructions said so. Then they send me an email that they had received ONE book but not the other one. How can one just have received one book and not the other if they are in the same box?! Why would anyone from FedEx just take one book out of the box? The missing book was UNDER the other book that was received by them. Very ODD. I find it rude that they implied I intentionally kept the other book which I did not. I made SURE I put both books in it. It is clear that someone at the return depot messed up. They told me they discarded the box and could not find it anymore so they might as well overlooked the second book and discarded it along with the box. Calling back and forth with customer service they kept telling that the only solution is to buy-out the book. "Yours to keep!" stated on the website when you buy-out. Whatever. I WISH I'd had bought out the book instead of returning it so I would at least have something in return for my bucks! So beware if you return multiple rentals in one single package. They can pretty much screw you over anytime by telling you they did not receive one of the books and say they are not responsible for it (even if they lost the books themselves)! Bookrenter.com First Time = Last Time, Never Again!
