Thank you all for the feedback. We, too, have been using Better World Books, but recently made a change to our service plan which leaves us unable to send a fairly large number of books to them, and we don’t have the means to divert resources to recycling ourselves.
Thanks,
David

We also have been very happy with Better World Books - using them for 10+ years.

Hi David,
I second Better World Books! We have used them for years with no problems. They provide boxes, shipping labels and even a small commission on the books they resell.
Best,
Karen

Hi David,
We have not used Cash4YourBooks, but I highly recommend Better World Books as a great way to recycle materials. Ina Claggette was my account representative and was very helpful.
Good luck!

Hello Acqnet,

We are having some issues with our current 3rd party seller and are considering other options, and they reached out to me. It seems legit but wondering if anyone can share their experiences working with this company.
Thank you,
