Thought I'd update everyone... The mark I got was....alright. After re-reading the essay I realised that it was kind of disorganized and unfocused in some parts. Mind you, there were parts that were good as well. I had to fix some things before submitting it but because of time constraints there wasn't much I could do. If I'd had the time I would've sent it back to my writer for revisions. In the end, I was sooo relieved that they weren't a scam. lol! I think they may be hit and miss...and it'd depend on the writer that you get. Most importantly though, they definitely are native English speakers writing original papers...not reselling or plagiarizing, etc..

Update: I received my paper today and I'm quite happy with it. They were having some technical problems with their email, apparently. Once they realized that my writer and I weren't receiving each others emails they forwarded me his personal email and it was fine after that. My advice to anyone planning on using them would be to have a flexible deadline. Give them a deadline a day or so before your actual due date in case they can't make it because in my case they didn't have it ready by my requested deadline. All in all, a good experience.

I submitted it just now. I'll let you guys know the mark once I know.

Ok, I got an email that says, "I don't recognize your email address so I think you might be a new customer and I want to make sure the paper is exactly right and we make a good impression. If there's anything you need, please reply and I'll try to ensure this is a good experience for you. Whatever you need, let me know. Thanks :-)" I think that must translate to, "your paper hasn't even been started yet."? DAMN IT!!!

I'm thinking I should've hired a freelance writer instead of sitting on pins and needles waiting...but I wasn't aware of that option until browsing through these forums some more today and finding out about essaychat. But there too, you have to decipher who is legit or not and it'd still be a bit of a leap of faith. I emailed my writer with additional specifications for my paper yesterday and I haven't heard back from him...is that a bad sign? Hopefully it's because he's too busy finishing my paper, ha.

They never called me to confirm my paypal account but they did assign me a writer......is that sketchy?

I ordered from them as well after reading these forums...I'm supposed to get my paper emailed to me tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed that it's something decent. I'm nervous that they won't send me anything at all!!
