At this online book sale, you pay for a box and carry home all the books you can fit in it. Expect access to a large collection of used and new books across languages and genres.

<p>Lock The Box, a state-wise event, is now coming to Maharashtra for 10 days in a fully digitised avatar. The duo explains, &ldquo;We need to maintain the same offline user experience in an online mode. So our AI system works to optimise the space of the box, in a way that&rsquo;s better than what humans can do.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The company is known for its customer service. Thane-based Sameeksha Manerkar, who tried the service, shares, &ldquo;They are very considerate about their packaging. They add free bookmarks and badges, and also a thank you note. Receiving a handwritten note is really the best feeling in the world.&rdquo; Manerkar, an avid bookgrammer at @sameeksha_reads, tells us that she received 15 books including a hardcover and two books that exceeded 500 pages in the Perseus Box. &ldquo;They packed it so well. I couldn&rsquo;t have fit so many books myself, but BookChor makes sure the readers get as many books as possible.&rdquo; Vidyut, who is 38, notes with a chuckle that in the past, the founders have received handwritten replies from customers. &ldquo;Our goal is to also maintain high-quality standards with a personalised connection with the users. We share videos and pictures before dispatching the box full of books so that customers have no doubts about the condition of the used books,&rdquo; Meenal and Vidyut conclude.&nbsp;</p>
