Hi! I don't know if it's allowed to post a *positive* experience with an essay writing company, but you may check CustomPapers.com.

They treat you like a human, not a number; you can even talk to their project manager over the phone if needed. I don't think they take rush (to be completed within 24 hrs) orders though.

UK Essays are genuine, they have done 2 really good essays for me anyway. They were on our local news program recently and they have been in a couple of papers.

They may be good, but for awfully RICH students..:) Who can afford to pay $70 per page??

There are very few (as in 2) good essay companies in the UK - usessays.com & oxbridgeessays.com - that's how they get away with charging so much. UK students often want UK journal sources in their references and US companies will find this harder to do.

I agree with that. I finished high school and did one year at an American college before transferring to England. They expect a lot more from college students in England in terms of more highly developed writing skills and depth of argument - I know one US company that can produce work of that standard - if you order a graduate essay even though you only need an undergraduate paper - but 2 others I've tried wouldn't be even be remotely close to meeting the standard (maybe I just chose bad companies?!).

The other problem is like it says before, the sources issue: UK universities want primarily UK editions of books and European journals referenced. Also, the uni I'm at doesn't like online sources for essays which makes it harder to use non UK essay companies as many companies, even the good US one that I found, like to use a lot of online sources.

This, plus the fact that there are dozens are very shady essay companies operating out of the UK who outsource to India and Pakistan, makes it easier for the good companies in the UK to get away with charging crazy prices. Maybe more good companies will join the market - who knows - but the only way to find out who is good is to place an order and that can be a very costly business.

I think you forgot about - dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id= 400292&in_page_id=1770&in_page_id=1770 - Essay Relief ;=}

UK students often want U journal sources in their references and US companies will find this harder to do.

OK, but I think you can have access to UK sources if you are subscribed to international online libraries... Anyway, the it must be expensive to be a British student..

Essay relief - very funny!!

It's cheap to be a British student if you write your own essays - max tuition fees even at Oxford and Cambridge are £3k ($4,800) a year! It's just we need a bit more competition in the essay market - a duopoly isn't healthy.

I think too many essay companies in the UK are started up by students with contacts / family in India / Pakistan - they have no interest in quality and only in making a very fast profit. I know a couple of companies who threaten to publish buyers details on their website when they complain about quality - they rely on people not wanting their college to know they buy essays. It's a bad business indeed.

I think more UK students would buy from US companies if they could work out which ones are okay. Sites like this help. But even then.... it's not a 100% guarantee as a company rep could pose as a student and say that they used their company and they were great. As ever, the message is buyer beware!

Hmm - I didn't even know the tuition in the UK is so cheap compared to the US! And at such great universities!

Regarding the UK essay writing companies - you are probably right. But why is that Indian/Pakistani companies don't usually provide a high-quality service..?

Anyway, it's hard to generalize as far as the quality of a particular company is concerned. It's because they provide a service, not a product. I'm myself at least once a year am dissatisfied with my hairdresser; but I"m still with her as I know she could have a worse day.

I think the problem with subcontracting to India and Pakistan isn't about academic standards in those countries - India's IIT rivals MIT! - it's the companies that are doing this - the Essay Reliefs of this world. They are not paying market rate in those countries for good researchers with strong skills in writing English. They are using cheap labour (labor to you ;-)) and non-native English speakers - not a great combination.

I like the hairdresser analogy but with the haircut you pay when your hair has been cut and you have seen what you are paying for. For me a bad experience of ordering say, for example a 1500 word essay on free market economics, was paying $300 up front and receiving a 10 page essay on a completely unrelated topic that had been plagiarised in its entirety from a free essay website. I'm assuming you wouldn't want to pay $300 for a haircut which resulted in you being scalped!

Believe me, with some companies you can generalise on their quality!!

Ben, you're too funny :).

Yes, but how come they (eg. Essay Relief) still have customers - don't they see the quality is poor (or the essays are in many cases plagiarized?). I guess heavy advertising does the trick and persuades the students to order from them.

EssayRelief has a steady flow of customers for the following reasons:

a. they advertise EssayRelief.com in the #1 position in Yahoo and Google, and they also have over 150 other domains that saturate the market (they play the numbers game);

b. there is extremely high and frequent turnover in the consumer base;

c. once defrauded, students are afraid to file complaints for fear of retaliation or incriminating themselves, so future students never find out about the ripoff scams of EssayRelief until they have also become victims. It's a neverending cycle.

Maybe now that EssayRelief is trying to kill news reporters, people will take more seriously the threat that these Pakistani criminals pose.

Hi. Well this is all new to me so please bear with me. iam in my final year of study, got married last year and had a miscarraige last month. Got a new assignment then to do and just needed a little help. I searched the internet and got through to essayrelief, applied and paid by credit card Friday 18th Aug 06. all going well till i decided to check the internet and found out essay fraud and in todays paper (Ireland)I almost got sick. I started to panic and i checked my credit card balance and it still appeared that no money was removed. I emailed 2CO straight away to cancel transaction. They emailed me within an hour and said they have cancelled Transaction....thank god for that. Now i still have assignment to do, i have half written myself but i need A grade in all subjects this year in order to pass. So can anyone please assist me with recommending a good company that will use reference that i can use in Ireland... please, i am desperate...Kim

I've mentioned two companies, earlier in this thread, in the UK that are good - but they are expensive. I've heard good things mentioned about an American company called custompapers.com but you'd have to get reassurances directly from them about the references so that they'd use sources that you could reasonably expect to have accessed from Ireland.

Hope this helps & good luck. Sounds like you've had a rough time.

I think they are well-known (in the US at least). I've heard they do a good job since they don't hire foreign writers and their customer service is "superb".

Thanks to whomever posted info about Custompapers.com - I ordered a rush research paper from them and got it on time, well written, and not plagiarized (manually checked by myself ;-).

Glad it worked out for you Pitt.

I've not heard anything bad about them on here or anywhere else. I'll be ordering from them myself when I get my assignments later this month.

Does custompapers.com prompt you to research/indexam.html
Or am i going to the wrong site???

I think it is kinds sketchy that they dont have an answering service. The only way to contact them is though leaving voicemails or via email.

Has anyone had any other experiences with custompapers.com?


Plus it is also hard to tell who is legit in these forums. I have noticed in a few places where it looks like people from the Websites post good things about their site and try and diminish the credibility of their competition.

Oh yes, i just want to mention that i was also scammed by affordable term paper. They gave me back a paper on time but not cited, choppy, definitely plagiarized!, and when i asked them to revise it they just changed 1 source that i looked up and it didnt even match the material so i asked for a refund and of course they tricked me. They said because they revised it they would not refund my paper. A waste of $140!!!

Hey Melinda,

You're not the only one who has been scammed!

I agree that anyone could sign up and say that one company is great and the others useless. It pays to be a little careful and read several posts - if someone is just going on about one site - either positively or negatively- then I would be dubious about what they are saying.

I have actually placed an order with custompapers.com just yesterday - not for a paper but an application I am making. I haven't had the work yet (it's due Friday) so can't tell you what the work is like from firsthand experience. I'll post again when I get it.

I have had a couple of good papers from ukessays.com (and also one very poor one from them - 38%!!), and I've also used oxbridgeessays.com who were fine. Both these companies are expensive though and I'm not totally convinced that I get good value for money (especially for the 38% paper!).

With American sites, apart from my current order with custompapers.com, I have also used paperstore.com and junglepage.com. Paperstore were appalling in my experience - the paper missed the topic completely and the customer service was poor (the 24 hr rewrite turned up a week late and wasn't worth waiting for). Junglepage.com were a slight improvement on paperstore.com but the original paper (not a rewrite) was a day late and, in my opinion, was more high school than college standard so I was disappointed overall.

I hope you find a company that helps you, and post your experiences when you do :)

I've just done a simple test - I emailed CustomPapers.com support (support@custompapers.com) and asked this question:

Honest Student"There are so many different sites and offer even better prices than your site (I included a list of 10 sites that offer $10 pp deals). What makes you different from them and why should I believe you?"

Within an hour I received a reply (below) which makes me think they are legitimate and I think I'll give them a try.

Hello and thank you for your inquiry at CustomPapers.com! I am happy to answer your questions.

What I noticed about these sites is that their papers are less than $10/page!! That makes me very concerned. I used to be a writer before becoming a sales representative. Initially I worked for many different companies, then finally became an independent contract writer here at CustomPapers. Why? Because I was paid a *fair* amount per page and treated well! I could email clients, ask them questions, and when I needed help finding a source, a support person were always there for me.

Think about this, if you pay less than $50 for a five-page paper, how long does it take to do the research and then write that paper? Seven or eight hours, maybe less if someone is fast. Then the company takes their cut and the writer makes $4 or $5 per page! Who can afford to live on that? The answer is: writers from countries like Pakistan and the Philippines who are speaking English as a second language (either that or the company that hires them is re-selling the same papers over and over). We know their sites say that they have writers with PhDs, but how many people in the U.S. with doctorates would work for $5/hour? Not many, I think.

I've been a little unkind I know, but even if you don't choose to get a writing contract with CustomPapers.com I want to caution you not to work with such companies. Their writers occasionally send us resumes and inquiry letters (because we pay a fair wage) but we simply can't work with them because their skills are not up to par.

So, if you would like to submit a request (this is FREE, as it should be) you can email it directly to me or fill out this web contact form. Once we have a GUARANTEED writer for your project we send you a quote for the work. Once you've made payment, we put you into direct email contact with your writer so that you can communicate directly with the person who is handling your project.

Please let me know if you have any other questions and thank you so much for writing us.

Regards,

Ericka, Sales Representative

I think custompapers.com are okay - based on other client's testimony - I've placed an order with them that is due on Friday so I'll be able to say for sure after that.

I'd be very careful though about thinking any site that responds to your question in a well-written reply is automatically okay. I got scammed by a UK based essay company (1stclassprojects.com) and was taken in by the emails I received that promised attentive customer service and a customized essay written by an expert in my subject. The emails were tailored to my specific questions, detailed, and well written and they made the company appear very credible. The essay I got was just random paragraphs of plagiarised text, that bore little relation to the topic that I requested, and the rewrites promised didn't exist; I lost almost $500.

With any big or important purchase, it pays to do a bit of research. Check this site, and similar ones that exist - but beware of any post that seems to promote one company as the poster may well be from that company! Talk to your friends - even if you want to hide the fact it is you that needs the essay (a friend of mine needs help with a paper ... have you heard of a good company that I could tell him / her about or companies to avoid).

Finally, if you've had a bad experience then spread the word so that no-one else gets scammed.

FYI I sent my inquiry to several competing websites (the ones I selected to order from) - as I always do before I pay somebody money - and I only received a reply from Custompapers.com

[actually I received two replies - but one company sent me something like "if you don't like our prices, go order from someone else"].

That's great, but my point is that just because they replied doesn't make them okay. I think in this case they are okay - I'm waiting til Friday til I get my order from them to know for sure but I'm confident about them from what I've heard so far.

I wasn't criticizing you, just pointing out to other readers that it is still possible to get badly scammed by a company that has a good looking website, phone lines, and sends personalised and reassuring emails! As the customers are getting more savvy and street-wise, so the scammers are realizing that they have to do more to get your business.

Hi guys, Well i received my paper the day before it was agreed and it was excellent. The only problem was a few American statistics used but i had a paper written myself before i contacted them and was able to mix each one around. I intend on ordering another one next week from them.I would def recommend custompapers.com. I have a research paper next year so i hope to find out the best site to help me with that. Dose anyone know anything about *********? good luck to you all...Kim

I think it is kinds sketchy that they dont have an answering service. The only way to contact them is though leaving voicemails or via email.

I tried to call two websites (ukessays.com and bestessay.com I think) that have "answering service" and let me tell you - it was just a waste of time. The answering persons (IF there's someone there available to answer using good English) had no idea what I was talking about -- she told me to fill out the contact form first. I think people who answer calls have no idea about writing papers - and if you don't have any ref# or something they won't help you in anything. I prefer to use email only - that way I always have hard proof.

I totally agree about using email not phone. I've been scammed by an essay company but got my money back from my credit card company because I could prove everything - i.e. what I'd ordered wasn't what I received and all the attempts i'd made to try and get the matter sorted.

I have used custompapers.com twice and the essays I got were good quality on both occasions. I've also used ukessays.com once and that essay was fine but the cost was high compared to custompapers.com and i felt that the standard was very similar. Another person I've used is 'BusMgtDoctor' on kasamba.com - the quality and price were good but this is a person and not a company so if she's working on other projects she won't take on extra work - she does tell you upfront though that she won't be able to give you a quote as she's too busy with existing orders so it's not like she messes you about or anything.

Hi all. I contacted ********* two days ago with an assignment. I got an average quotation. they said they would reply within 12 hours whether my credit card payment would be excepted, iam still waiting. It is only a term paper that i have already outlined myself but iam trying to find out now what is the best site in order to do my research project next year (I hate research, and as i work three nights a week during college semester, i wont have the time but i'll have the money to hopefully get a good paper. Does any of you have good experiance with ********* or another site or should i just stay with custompapers as the last paper i got of them was brill.

take care,
kim x

Hi all. i enabled all my spam and juke mail so that i can receive emails from ********* as they had recommended me to do so. I received emails from them to say they could first do my assignment and a second email to quote price, once i agreed and filled in my details including credit card details, i haven t received anything from them! I checked my credit card balance on nternet and no money has been taken from same. I emailed them earlier today to cancel order as i need assignment as soon as possible so i hope to hear from them soon. I will let you all know how i get on,

Again, *********.com has not received any emails from anyone named "Kimberly." She must be sending emails to a misspelled or different domain.
Dylan  - | 125  
Sep 10, 2006 | #40
Or perhaps she didn't use her real name to register for this site - I didn't! Makes sense on her part given that she provided details of her course and location....

I'm curious, why did you post "Again, *********.com has not received any emails from anyone named Kimberly." when it was your first post? Very strange .... unless someone else posting was representing ********* but not being clear in their post that they were posting as such.

This is a weird site in many ways. Anyone can sign up and say anything / claim to represent a company but there is no way of knowing who is really a student and who is really a company representative.

Buyer beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!
