As someone who has been to multiple of their 'lock the box' sales, Bookchor has been my go-to for pre-loved books that are on a budget.

They have books across genres right from manga, Hindi literature, poetry, and even NCERT subject books! What I also love is that you can also sell your books to them through their app which allows easy tracking and re-selling.

Books By Kilo does exactly what it says. It sells books by kilo, meaning the physical weight of the book and not the original publisher's charge. This service has everything from children's books and fiction to non-fiction, and bestsellers. If you are bored with the usual 'add to cart' business, you can also opt for their surprise stack, where you pick your genre and authors, and they deliver the books. If you are afraid they will get you something you have already read, then you can let them to about that too and they will ensure to deliver books you didn't know you even needed, but will definitely love. If you are a corporate or educator looking to rent an online library of resources for internal reading, they will happily assist you with that, too.
