Oxbridge Essays, just read their through their company website at torg.co.uk and ask yourself whether some of the claims made are really believable? Read through their site and make your own call.

We are not allowed to make recommendations here but pls do read through various threads and you will find some of the sites you have listed mentioned. Go through these threads.

Pls log onto all of them, read through their website, talk to them and make up your own mind.

Another thing - do not go for low prices and keep in mind that good writers demand real pay.

I've done all that you have said and still none the wiser. The companies I listed are at the higher price range but i guess that doesn't mean they are any better either. I'm so confused lol wish some1 could just tell me.

What exactly are you looking for?
A small essay?
Dissertation?
Research material?

Which ever site you use it would be safe to place small orders so that you get some cushion.

Except for CustomPapers.com, all the other sites are associated with foreign-owned companies (Ukraine for some, I know, and I think the rest). This does not make them bad in and of itself, but generally these companies charge a lot from customers but pay as little as ten percent of their fees to the writers. They often hire completely unqualified writers, and work goes through numerous drafts by different writers instead of a refund ever being issued.

I worked for UVO Corp, which I know operates the site customessays.co.uk, and possibly operates some of the others. They are unethical, completely shady, and don't care about their customers or their writers.

Ordered Writing[Moved from]: Placed some orders thought id give you all an update

So I ordered some essays from different companies to see what they were like. Payed on credit card just in case.

Anyway ordered two from Oxbridge essays. The first one arrived and was ok, looked like it was a 2:1 but wasn't referenced and the second low and behold never turned up lol. Spoke to them yesterday said it would arrive by 5pm and still hasn't turned up. Phoned to say I want a refund was told it basically wasn't gonna happen. So looks like chargeback time although they said i would breach terms and conditions. Not sure how thats possible when they didn't deliver on a service they agreed too.

I ordered one from Custompapers.com and that my assigned writer sent me a day before scheduled, but again no full referencing, but the writer did do it straightaway when I emailed him and it was quite well written even if it did have alot of American sources, although obviously they are an American company (and now I think I forgot to mention that I needed mostly British sources).

Anyway luckily I had done most of the work myself before so was just going to use them as a guide. Anyways just thought i'd give some feedback.

Oxbridge Essays is a part of TORG.

Read through their website:

1) hundreds upon hundreds of Oxford and Cambridge `experts'
2) Top Morgan Stanley investment bankers
etc etc :):)

I'm not sure if UkEssay.com was a typo - but that domain resolves to a 'parked' page which is basically a temporary page - there's no site there.

If it's supposed to be UKEssays, I can assure you that not a single member of our team is from the Ukraine, we're a UK based company.

Bestessays do seem like one of those strange Ukrainian operations, customessay.co.uk has a bad rep, but I've seen no evidence that ukessays or 24houressay are not UK-based. Whatever faults they may have (and I have no info either way), from Whois etc. they're clearly British.

Please note: this is NOT a recommendation!

All five sites are associated with foreign-owned companies

I can't see how 24houressay claim to send 95% of the fee to their writers, surely they have to pay VAT? So, they must take a huge cut on every order placed and never make a profit?

charity, running at a loss :) RBS' worldpay deducts VAT whether one likes it or not - I assume that any payment porocessor would do that with any company in the UK or EU

Prescott505

The reason I write this reply is because this site has performed me a great service free of charge - elucidating initially the concept of scam sites, and then bothering to continue with specifics including site domain names (and sometimes the interweb detective work that led them to the conclusion). It saved me money and time etc. So for a favor received, a 'potential' favor returned (in case it helps etc).

Prescott, you act on this forum like you are agreeable with certain prolific and respected writers, however you write personal emails to new users bagging the living sh***te out of said writers and this forum site itself and directly promote sites which are evidenced by this forum as scams. You front yourself as a student and appear genuine and consume resources of writers on this site...Either way man it would appear to this amateur user that you are involved in some conflict of interest or something less than virtuous. I'm not interested in getting involved in an e-fight or wasting peoples time on this forum, but here at least you have a chance of defending yourself.

That's all, just thought I could add something potentially useful in return and in appreciation for the help I have received.

Sorry, you're right. I wrote something positive about s2papers.com, but now I know they are a bunch of scamming spammers.

That's BS, ive ordered from s2papers.com mainly because they provided a list of subjects they can't do and whilst im not prepared to say anything about the grade i got since people automatically start thinking you're promoting the company, their work is good (at least in sociology). The downside is that they are expensive and they only cover some subjects so clearly they are not for everyone.

(they say they will complete work before you have to pay)

No company or writer that is not a scam will assure you that they will complete the paper before you pay for it. A reliable independent writer will ask for at least 50% of the cost upfront, with the rest to follow before the paper is submitted to you, or whatever payment scheme you have agreed to. The same goes for the writing company. These are the companies and writers who are not going to simply do a cut and paste hack job on a paper, hence the pay after submission promise. Or, this could be a bait and switch where they will submit a different draft to you from the actual paper they will send after you have "approved" the "completed" draft.

A reliable independent writer will ask for at least 50% of the cost upfront, with the rest to follow before the paper is submitted to you

No legitimate writer will ever agree to write 100% of any project for only 50% paid at the time the order is placed. If the client fails to pay the remaining 50%, the writer has already wasted (50% of) his time writing the whole project, irrespective of whether or not he submits the project to the client.

or whatever payment scheme you have agreed to

The only payment scheme to which a legitimate writer will agree is to produce and deliver __% of a project after receiving (the same) __% of the payment at the time the order is placed. Then, if the client is happy with the first __% of the project, he pays for the next __% of the project and (only then) the writer produces and delivers that next __% of the project. How much of the project is paid for and (only then) written and delivered at a time depends on whatever % of the project the client and writer agree to pay for and deliver at a time, respectively.

Typically, clients using a writer for the first time might want to pay for just a small section, first; and then, after satisfactory delivery of that section, the client pays for the rest of the project, because delivery of that section is enough for the client to know that the writer is legit. For huge projects of 50+ or 100+ pages, clients might pay for one or two sections at a time, provided that there's sufficient time to do that and still make the deadline for the completed project. However, what often happens is that by the time clients first find and reach out to a good legitimate writer, the deadline is too short to allow for sectional payment and delivery. In those situations, about the best that clients can do is research the writer on the forum and by Googling the writer and/or the writer's website and email(s) before paying for the whole project in advance. Legitimate writers don't mind sectional payment/delivery; but if clients first contact us shortly before their deadlines, there may be no other option besides trusting us with full payment in advance.

That is an accurate description of how a legit writer operates in the academic writing industry (and probably elsewhere). There is a very simple equation at play here. A legit writer has a web reputation to protect, has legit/permanent virtual presence, and uses a legit e-commerce gateway. OTOH, you never know who the client may be, etc.

There are several companies in the list that have stopped doing business. Their websites are no longer active and domain names are even up for sale. It is important to note that one of the companies in the list actively advertises at this forum so the image that it projects is one of a reliable one. At least on the surface. Who knows what the actual service is like since the reviews for that forum are more than likely quashed to prevent them from cancelling their ad service from the forum. All the other sites int he lsit that are active do have negative reviews here so one merely has to search for the company name to find out whether or not the risk of doing business with them is worth it.
