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