The Research for Students - due date passed, no email contact

I recently tried a 1 page essay on a novel I needed an outline for.

I asked to have it delivered in 1 day. I get the confirmation email and the receipt that I've payed.

So, I think everything is going good and I begin to wait. The next day comes, and it should have been sent by now. 2 hours pass, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7..

I sent many emails and no reply, and to this second I still have no reply from them.

A few minutes ago they decide to send me an email saying my writing has been canceled. Figures they could have at least told me this the hour it was suppose to be sent.

Basically, I need a page written and I have no other websites that apparently I can trust.

If someone feels like helping me out with this, please send me an email or something and I can give instructions on what I need.

Thank you.

What their corporation/mail address (could you find out?)

First email was from student research for my confirmation.

Second email was from custom research for my receipt.

Email saying it's been canceled was from essay research.

I know, but I get spam message every day from people who claim to be based in the US and in fact are based in Nigeria or Senegal. You really have not any corporate or mailing address of the company you paid money?

I sent my order through the order form on Research for Students page. So, basically, no. They could hide this information on purpose?

Then I'd suggest you to seek another company and the first thing you should do is to check if they post their address on their website; otherwise you may be risking more than you may think..

Thing is, every company that I believe to be legit, many people on here claim they aren't. I have no other sites that I can trust in. Maybe I just need a legit free lance writer on here that has positive feedback? If not, someone please feel free to help me out as much as possible.

I have just had the most awful time with academic knowledge the problem they will not or/ can not admit to mistakes and blame the writer it is so much easier for them they are problematic and you stand no chance if you are right they form a little club it is so difficult

just dont go with academic KNOWLEDGE THEY Are a breed to themselves

This is a terrible company for writers and students both. Don't ever go to them.

I could have done this for you so sorry it is so lateXXX

Anybody have any suggestions for me? Even a writer from here could possibly contact me and we can talk.

just wright your own essays stupid gets arsles

If you don't have anything for me, just do not answer please.

They're working on that issue so that you get more timely notice when no writer takes your paper. In the meantime, just include the request in your order asking the writer to contact you ASAP to let you know they have your order. That way, you can pretty much figure that your order hasn't been taken until you get a contact. Keep in mind that the company has no way of knowing that your order won't get taken anytime before it's due.

Have you tried essaybay? You can search this forum for comments on the site.

Essaybay? I saw a few complaints on them already, so I figured it's a fraud.

@FreelanceWriter - I didn't do that. Thanks for the advice if I decide to ever use ET again. Although, I doubt I will.

There are always a few complaints about every site. That doesn't make the site fraudulent (if it did, then Research for Students would be as fraudulent as any other site). I hope you find the service you are looking for.

One thing I know is that we never treat our customers that way. Wouldn't want our name appearing on any negative posts. Generally speaking, if we can't do a piece of work we inform customers before they make payment :)

That must be very easy when you provide half a dozen essays a week for 3 or 4 customers and your site adminstration "department" is one of your 3 writers. ":)"

ET fills more than 1,000 essays per month for hundreds of clients. There are dozens of writers who take essays off the writers' board. Sometimes, papers get taken immediately; other times, they may stay on the board for days and still get taken before they're due. The company also frequently increases the payout to writers to encourage us to take certain papers in danger of expiring and at their expense. It has nothing to do with how they "treat" their customers; they have no way of knowing whether or not a writer will take a particular paper ahead of time and essays that aren't taken are always refunded in full.

Not at all, actually. We have a rather unique system in place and hope we can maintain it.

Were we only providing half a dozen essays, we would be out of business ... Also, we do not just provide essays but an entire range of academic services. Whatever made you jump to that conclusion?

I found an outstanding site. Best service I've had yet, and best quality. Arrived right on time in perfect condition :)

Good for you. Would you like to participate in the survey linked below? Thanks. essayscam.org/forum/gt/survey-students-important-selecting-writing-service-1034/

YeahBoii, what did u find? which writing service u had used? pls let me knw. thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't think he's allowed to here.

Freelance Writer: why he is not allowed?

no response from research for student. have they stopped the service alridi?

The rules of this forum don't allow recommendations about good sites, just warnings about bad ones.


If you e-mailed them, they will get back to you as soon as they have a chance; their customer service dept doesn't necessarily run 'round the clock and they have a lot of customers. If you used the e-mail link they provided, they'll respond. You can order from the system 24/7/365 without human assistance though.

Waiting for several days after your established deadline is not acceptable, especially if there was no communication between you / the writer / and|or their customer support. It's sad that this company let you down, but you can find another, better one or try a recommender essay writer.

These types of posts are the exact reason why it is critical that you make sure that you are contracting legitimate companies for your work. Never cheap out, especially for vital projects that you have.

As I've explained before, even at legit companies, projects can languish on their assignment boards beyond their due dates, still untaken by any writer. Legit companies eventually just refund those orders. That's obviously not going to help those clients meet their deadlines, but it's a flaw attributable to the automated ordering systems used by most high-volume essay companies. Before I was prohibited from doing it, I used to check the company boards for forum members here who wanted to know whether their company orders had been taken by a writer, because the only confirmation they received was that their orders had been accepted by the companies, without any subsequent notification to let them know whether or not any writer had actually taken their projects off the assignment board.

I wonder... from the way the OP told the story, it appears he did not pay for the paper in full and in advance. If that was the case, then the company probably put a hold on the order because of it. Even if a paper has already been assigned to a writer, if the company has a payment problem with the client, they will place a stay on the order. The writer will be told the order has a problem and the writer should stop working on the paper. The writer will follow the instruction, allowing the deadline to pass in the process. The writer is not required to contact the client at that point. Neither is he encouraged by the company to respond to any emails from the client. Based on the scenario painted by the OP, I believe this is what happened. While the company does sound suspect, anybody can see that in the way the website is designed, it sure looks like the OP had something to do with the non-receipt of his order as well.

The OP specifically said that he received confirmation of his payment for the project (in his 3rd sentence). What probably happened, as I explained earlier, is that the project was never taken off the assignment board by any writer; it just sat there listed on the board until the due date came and went. The "confirmation" to which the customer referred initially was simply the confirmation that the order was accepted by the system and that payment went through. (To my knowledge, customers didn't get any additional confirmation once a writer actually took their projects off the board.) The payout for that 1-pg order was probably $8 to $15, depending on when it was ordered in relation to its due date (and the payment rate of the particular writer looking at it).

Most likely, no writer wanted to bother with any "1-pg" order that required reading substantial portions of an entire book. It's not a complicated situation, but one that can happen anytime an essay company doesn't have a system for monitoring the status of projects that are in danger of not getting taken by writers by the posted due dates for those orders. (Sometimes, the payment offered for orders in danger of not getting taken by their due dates was increased to encourage writers to take them; but other times, they just sat there for quite a few days, long after those deadlines came and went.) The customer probably received a full refund but came here to find out whether he'd been ripped off and/or to complain in between the due date and the refund, which probably wasn't issued until about a month later.
