Hi WriterBeware,

Thanks for your info. But are they not the same company? I mean under the same managerial system.

Admissions Essay & Wonderful Academic Research

From what i have read on this site, these 2 companies appear to be genuine US sites. If i gave an order regarding UK law, would they write the papers using a writer familiar with US law or UK law?

Wonderful Admissions ResearchWell, I went along with the advice posted here and used the Research...you should see the crappy paper I got for $97. It's awful. I requested Freelance Writer, but he must have had too much to work on. I got someone who fudged the whole paper and added line breaks and the 5 page paper with 7 sources I asked for turned out to be a 3 page paper with 1 source, fragment sentences, typos, incorrect in-text citations, incorrectly formatted works cited page, and though I asked for MLA formatting, it was not evident, etc., etc., etc. I even paid extra for more than 5 sources (it is free for one source per page, so I should have gotten 5 for free, but the paper was only 3 pages and there was maybe 1 full source).

I submitted a rewrite request and advised Support that I wished for an entirely new writer and an entirely new paper. We will see how this subsequent request goes before I let my opinion as to whether or not one should use Research be known.

I am not a lazy student who just doesn't want to do the research paper. I am a very, very good student (who is an English major) and I am going through very, very trying times in my life which have left me with no time to do this assignment to its full extent. I have had THREE deaths in my family in the past 6 weeks, I moved in with my dad to help him out (his wife was one of the people who died), and 3 people quit at work and I'm having to take on their workload. I also really didn't have the money to frivolously spend on this paper, but I recognized the necessity of it. If I get stiffed, that is just going to add EXPONENTIALLY to my problems when all I was looking for was a bit of relief from them.

You state that you had requested FreelanceWriter. That's pretty specific detail, but why did you not include your order number, topic, and/or any other info that would actually enable anyone here to even consider being able to help you?

If this is a legitimate complaint, the company will almost certainly fix this and investigate the writer. Your first mistake was requesting freelancewriter yet paying such a low per-page rate. Neither he nor I take orders that pay this low during the busy season--we'd be working at half our potential and this is how we make our living. When you want the top wrters, you need to pay the premium prices, and thinking a writer is going to spend more time on your assignment when you pay less for a longer deadline is just naive.

It's a research paper on "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. As a follow up, I must say that the writer has become severely combative with me about the rewrite and it's only adding to my frustration. So far, given this one incident (and no, I'm not so dumb as to think a singular occurrence qualifies for the condemnation of an entire company), I would not recommend the Research. I understand that others might have had wonderful experiences with them, but as of now, mine has been horrific. If Support acts and the writer decides to redo it (even though he will not quit arguing with me, so I'm afraid of the quality of the rewrite), I will of course come here and make it known.

when you pay less for a longer deadline is just naive.

I was not given the opportunity to pay more for a better writer, and had I been given that option, I would have taken it. I paid nearly as much as possible almost on this paper as I gave a deadline of only 8 days. The only higher charge was for a deadline of 7 days or sooner, but I felt that the quality of an essay would be suffered when one is given less time in which to write, so I don't see my choice as naive.

I'm sorry to hear about that too. I do try to do my share of low-value papers but, as Pheelyks said, we just can't afford to take every request, especially for long-deadline/low-value papers that pay us about half what we make on urgent papers and on papers we do privately.

Once we decide to let a paper go public, any other writer can take it. There are also always going to be differences in quality among writers at every essay company. If you don't want to risk an unknown writer, you can request a specific writer and also include a statement in your order that you will not accept any other writer and wish to be refunded if the requested writer declines. In my case, I'll even send you a message telling you that I won't be able to do it. The paper won't be taken by anybody else and if it is, you'll be entitled to a refund through your cc company.

If you're an existing company customer or someone who's already decided to try the company instead of a freelance writer, you can contact me first via PMs here to find out if it's a paper I'll take from the company board before you place it. To be honest, chances are pretty low that I'd take many low-value papers, (especially from anybody who isn't actually already a company customer), but you can ask.

I'm sorry that I can't take every request and I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with one writer at the company and urge you to make your feelings known to administration so that they know which new writers to get rid of instead of letting unqualified writers ruin the company's reputation. There are limits to how well they can weed out people by resumes and writing samples; sometimes, writers may get hired who really shouldn't have been. That's also equally true of every legitimate writing company. At least at all the companies that use Pheelyks and me, they actually do provide the service they advertise and they always refund orders that don't get taken. Much of their competition does neither of those things.

It's a research paper on "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats.

Yes, I saw that and wondered what other literature paper I did that generated that request because I do some literature but not much. That's one I declined immediately without even wasting the time it takes for them to go public on their own because it's totally out of my areas. I appreciate the request nevertheless and am sorry someone else wrote you a lousy paper.

I paid nearly as much as possible almost on this paper as I gave a deadline of only 8 days.

That's an understandable assumption but it's wrong. You have to understand that those of us who do this fulltime write almost all of our papers (unless they're well over 10 pages) in a single sitting. If we take a paper due in 5 days, we'll probably still end up writing it the day it's due. So, we're always much more likely to grab rush papers since we're going to spend the same 3 or 4 or 8 hours writing them in one sitting anyway.

When you select the longest option, you pay the least but you also greatly increase the chances that your order will be taken by a less experienced writer who can't do what we do and who is intimidated by rush paper orders asking for 5 or 10 pages in less than 12 hours. The best writers make their living mainly on those and just don't have that much time to spend on papers that pay out half as much per page.

If you want to reduce the pool of writers competing to take your paper and greatly increase the chance that the writer who takes it is one of a company's better and more experienced writers, you should select the rush option even if it's not due on your end for a week. That's the only way you can really "request" better writers in general other than requesting someone specific .

I understand your thinking, but it's erroneous here. The length of the deadline you pay for has nothing to do with how long a writer spends on your project, and your thinking is naive because you are still assuming that the writer will spend more time on the paper when you have paid them less for it. Whether we have a week or a day to write a five page paper, it takes about two hours with research (less if it's a subject we already know about). For $97, I'd say two hours of a real professional's time (plus overhead and a small profit margin for the company) is a really good deal.

None of this excuses you getting a poor product, and you should definitely bring this to the attention of customer service, but there would be a lot fewer pissed off customers if they took a minute to learn/thnk about how the business works.

Now I've been told that he only has an AA and BA in English, by his own admission. And he is asking where I live. Did I read incorrectly, or did the website not assure me that the writers would have "at least a Master's degree?" Does this mean a Master's degree in anything, or would they find someone with a Master's degree in the subject I wish for a paper to be written on? I assume that if he had a Master's at all he would have mentioned it in his PM telling me how stupid I am and that I should listen to his wisdom.

Don't worry folks, I made all of these same facts known to Support and they have issued me a new writer who will complete a new paper for me. I will let you guys know how everything turns out.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I had to send them my resume and proof of my undergraduate History and Psychology degrees and my Law degree when I was first hired by them in 2003.

You need to understand that the way all essay companies work is that they just post available orders on a virtual bulletin board from which all writers can take any available order. Some companies may give only certain writers access to some papers, but I'm not aware of any company that actually "assigns" orders to writers and I'd never work for one that did. Sometimes, they may contact us privately to ask us to take a particularly hard essay in our specialty areas at a bonus, but more generally, the companies are not actively involved in matching up writers to specific orders.

On the other hand, all reputable companies do want your feedback to help them identify bad writers, especially now when the economy has forced so many more people to try earning a living this way. Plenty of people with great resumes and academic credentials and essay samples don't necessarily make good professional essay writers day in and day out. Reputable companies fire writers who don't satisfy their customers, but they can't necessarily know that every writer they hire will work out beforehand.

Hope that helps understanding how this whole thing works.

This is completely understandable. I have been told that the order will be revised and completed to me by April 15th. I will most assuredly return here and let you all know the outcome!

Freelance Writer, I placed an order requesting you as the writer, were you able to pick it up? It was in the area of political science. Also, I requested a due date of April 13, by 7:00PM and it still has not been completed.

Sorry to ask you in a thread, but I can't PM members yet. Thank-you for your time and help.

This forum is not a customer service portal for any company, and the more customers start using it as one for legitimate companies the harder it is to differentiate between the good and the bad. The fact that you can contact your writer through the message function on the site where you placed your order is another reason to avoid this kind of thing.

I sent a message to the writer but did not get a response. I assume it isn't Freelance Writer.

Update: I received the rewrite. It is a much better paper, but it doesn't cover the topic at hand and was not the length I specified. Instead of being a paper about the poem, it was a paper about the writer. There was nothing I could use in the paper, but as I said before, it came a lot closer than the original one I received. Now free to give my opinion based on my experience, I won't be using the Research's services ever again. Too much hassle, not enough production, not worth the money.

Missmopar05, you are obviously the type of "difficult" customer who refuses to accept that custom writing is a process, not a ready-made product. You entered into a contract wherein you agreed to accept FREE rewrites until satisfied. It is you who is backing out of the deal, not the company.

Wow this forum is informative... I made an order for research service I got back the paper it was good not great ..the writer was superb she said she will make the changes and I trust her work ...however i noticed the terms and conditions that the paper is not to be submitted as your own ...something along those lines

I intend to make some changes of course about 30% ..however my question is this does wonderful research send its papers to turnitin or other plagiarism software because if it does that will be a problem

Please answer my question. I am confused because this is my first time purchasing a custom paper, although I have done enormous research I am bit confused about research terms and conditions.

Thankyou.

So, you only intend to cheat a little bit?

It is ILLEGAL for you to turn in this assignment as your own, just as it would be ILLEGAL for anyone to provide you with an essay that they knew you would be using to cheat. These essays are mean for you to use as research tools and examples for structuring and writing your own paper. This is clearly stated at many different points in the advertising and ordering process.

But do they submit to anti-plagiarism sites ...pheelyks I wish I knew but now I am in difficult position because of lack of time. I cant make drastic changes.

I am not asking for understanding just if it would cause me problems later that's all .... not from moral/legal perspective because in that case its clearly fraudulent.

Your difficult position is this: cheat and break the law, or don't. The end.

not from moral/legal perspective because in that case its clearly fraudulent

What's clearly fraudulent? Turning in a paper you bought somewhere else as your own work? Umm...yeah, it is.

Stu I wish I could do but I dont have time....

You have no grounds to start a chargeback, as you were delivered exactly what you were promised. Next time, you should give yourself enough time to complete your coursework.

Oh you are not going to answer my question ...instead just insult me

why would anyone pay $300+ for an outline???
pheelyks  
Apr 18, 2011 | #65
Oh you are not going to answer my question

I did answer your question. Essay Revisions retains all rights to the work you purchased, so whether or not you'll get caught turning it in, you're breaking the law. If you're asking if you can get away with breaking the law anyway, you won't be getting any help on this forum.

why would anyone pay $300+ for an outline???

First, you didn't just get an outline--you got a full model paper, which contains original research, argumentative points, sources relevant to your topic, etc. This is a very valuable resource to many students. Second, people pay because they don't have the time and/or intelligence to do their own research, organizing, etc, and they find it easier to write their own essays when they have a clear model to follow.

Before complaining about how unfair life is in the future, try reading about WHAT you're buying BEFORE you pay for it. Don't get all pissy here just because you weren't bright enough to understand what you were spending your $300 on.

After a brief run in with what appeared to me to be a shady company called Luxalpha (found them on Craigslist, but they had not a scrap of info on their website, and a search of their company name turned up nothing), I decided to do some more research and found this site. I was able to glean from the posts I read that the Research was a legitimate company. I made an order requesting Freelance Writer, but the order was taken up by another writer. As I understand things now from reading more posts in this forum, this was probably because I didn't request a short enough deadline and therefore didn't give enough financial incentive.

I'm a little apprehensive after learning that the above poster received some poor work, but for now I remain hopeful that the writer who has taken up my request will do a fine job. After all, it would seem reasonable to assume that, being in the business as long as they have, most of the writers hired by WR are competent.

If anyone has experience with or knowledge of WR writer Boethius, please let me know. And if you would like to know how my experience with this company pans out, send me a PM.

First of all, no business has a 100% satisfaction rate. Second, the above poster did not receive poor work; she herself said it was "good" but not "great." Given her own grasp of English and her general demeanor, I'm not sure I'd trust her opinion too much, anyway.

But regardless, you're right in that there is no reason for me to be apprehensive based on this one account. The writers on this forum who work for WR are obviously very professional and sincere, and the company seems to do what it can to ensure satisfaction.

I used both service back in April.

For the Research I got a B+ on my papers, it was a 2 page report.

For Admissions Essay, I got a c-, but it was a 6 pages essay, so yeah my experience with Essay Revision was rather negative, but the writer seem nice and actually communicated with me afterward.

WARNING- US ADMISSIONS WRITERS NETWORK SERVICES



Hey this is my first post but I've been lurking over the forums for some time now. I know Writers and US Admissions Writing Services writers will shoot me down but I don't care. I have purchased a few papers from Admissions Writers and they have been good and even rewritten per my request but the last paper I ordered was over a month ago maybe more. Today I looked my bank sent me notice that I was charged 103.55 on 5/15 from STUDENT NET. I am furious and this has sent me over my balance. I contacted my bank and a dispute has been filed. If the money is not returned than legal action will be taken. I have also deleted my Credit card from their website. Please be aware and use caution when purchasing from US Admissions Writers. Like I said, my papers were good but I have been scammed 103.55 and have valid proof.

That isn't how US Admissions Writers charges appear, to the best of my knowledge, and if it was a mistake it will be refunded immediately. You might think I'm "shooting you down," but the fact is mistakes happen--on consumer and business ends--that aren't fraudulent. The fact that you ran instantly to the Internet to complain about a company that has always treated you honestly and fairly in the past (according to your own post) says a lot about you).
