The system is really easy to use but a few issues to watch out for. The scanner is sensitive and often scanned books a second time as we moved them away. The biggest issue was the barcode reading a bo... See more

Good service
Good service, easy to scan a selection of books, barely 50p for most of them but its the same as id get at a car boot and I dont have to lug them around! The little 15% extra code was appreciated, hopefully a few more bonus codes around when im doing my next pile of books!
Also, there's quite a few books they are not buying, it never shows a reason or a recommended time to try again.
All round decent service and payment into my account within a fortnight of sending the books off!

Problem with promotion code
Everything was excellent - just let down by the fact that the code for an additional 15% could not be applied. Communication was good but rather than being given an alternative code to use, I was told to apply for it once the payment had been sent. Apart from this issue, and losing out on 90p, I was pleased with the whole experience. It is a straightforward system and I was kept updated.

Straightforward
Straightforward - scan, box up and take to In post lockers. Scan QR code and it’s done. Money in my account in a couple of days.

Standard experience
Not a lot to say really. Everything worked as planned, I scanned some books, they went in a box, someone came and picked them up, few days later I got a bit of dosh.
The end.

Selling books made easy
Sending my books Inpost has been great but collections using DPD has been appalling. They never turn up and often in a different town. When they have my books is has been a good experience and recommend to friends.
