	May 2010	I've been selling books for nearly 4 years now, and have dealt with almost every company on BookScouter.com... Blue Rocket is definitely in my top 3. Fast, prompt at notifying and fixing problems, and most importantly... fast payment! Good job!
	Nov 2009	Blue Rocket is the real deal. Their site is easy to use, they give you what they quoted and they pay quickly. What more can one ask?? Thumbs way up!!
	Nov 2009	sent them 3 books worth around $50. Shipping method was very, very slow. Processing time once they received the books was 3-4 days. Paid via paypal. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 b/c of the slow shipping (media mail). Other than that, seems like a great trustworthy company and I would definitely not hesistate to do business with them again!
	Oct 2009	I received an email two weeks after I sent the books that they had received them and the check would be in the mail. I received the check two days later. Great service!
	Oct 2009	I sent books to Blue Rocket books based on the good reviews that they had here. On 9/24 I received an email from them saying that they received the books and all was good and they would be paying the full quoted price. 10/2 I received a similar email saying a check was sent. On 10/13 I e-mail them letting them know that I had not received the check yet. Next day received an e-mail suggesting the mail may be slow and to wait till the end of the week. I finally received the check 10/18 with post mark of 10/14. So it would seem that they had not even sent the check until I followed up with them. I'm not sure why it took them 20 days to issue a check. But I have used other companies and have never had to wait such a long time. I will not use them again.
	Oct 2009	Very bad experience. After several weeks I sent them an e-mail asking about my check. About a week later I got a response that both of my books had bad spine damage when received (great condition/extra padding) and that they had e-mailed me. (no e-mail) and since I did not respond they recycled my books.
	Oct 2009	I had a really bad experience with them. I mailed them the books on September 9. On September 17 they sent me an email saying that the check is in the mail. Two weeks later still no check. I emailed them asking what happened to my check. I received a nice email with an appology saying that their printers were off line (?). For two weeks? They assured me that the check was issued. As of today October 20 I still didn't receive a check on the order #835. I didn't sell my for cheerful empty words they sent me on the emails.
	Oct 2009	My experience with Blue Rocket books was very good! I had a question and they emailed me back within a few hours with the answer. They were very helpful and also paid the most for my books. I will definitely recommend them to friends! Keep up the great work, Blue Rocket!
	Oct 2009	sent a large box of books, they paid the most for buyback once they got the books , they issued a check within a day and recieved it in the mail about a week later,very good service, they should be in business for a while if they continue with this level of service
	Oct 2009	Good company. Turnaround time for my last textbook was two weeks and payment came on the same day they sent me confirmation of my book's arrival.
	Sep 2009	Excellent prices- great service. Books were processed and paid (via PayPal) within a couple days. Their e-mail message confirming receipt of books even came with a note from a real human being. That's a refreshing change in today's ultra-automated world.
	Sep 2009	I'm happy to be the first to rate this company. These people are first-rate. Prices are competitive, turnaround is faster than most others (one week) and they paid via paypal on the same day they received my books. Other companies could learn from these guys. Way to go, Texans!!
