TOONS THAT ROCK TV
GBIngram Rocks! My first job as a kid was working for Ingram Book Company sweeping and cleaning up after shipping. Honored to have them print my book The Puckford 7. Theres been a couple issues with cover alignment early on which they corrected. Such a nice book to hold in your hand Glossy Hard Cover or silky Matte Soft Cover! The new e-Commerce Links option is excellent if you would like to side step Amazon KDP. KDP Books are nice! Glossy! KDP has weird size requirements for HC. Work with a great set up house, watch You Tube videos how to upload and modify your files. Direct distribution via Barnes and Noble is pure gold. All the negative comments on here are from people who do not know what they are doing, or their book material is the problem and not Ingram. My books ROCK! Beautiful job printing inside and out! Shipping could be a little more speedier and books better packed if you are ordering one or two. Customer Service is very good with a speedy response!

GBIngramSpark is Terrible IngramSpark has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. My problem is that I can't log into my account so I can't order copies of my books, and my titles have disappeared from Amazon. No explanation. Refusal to answer straightforward questions. Repeated requests for an explanation and help are fobbed off with meaningless one-line responses, or requests for information that has already been given multiple times. I just want to be able to access my account or to be given a straightforward answer as to what has happened to it and my books. This has been going on for weeks. Avoid this company. They do not care. EDIT IngramSpark responded to this review by saying that if I send the the ISBN of my books they will be happy to help. To be clear I have done this numerous times, along with other data pertaining to my account. They are an absolute joke. Honestly, it's like talking to the wall. Terrible, terrible experience. I would advise no one to entrust their work to this company.

GBIn today's world one is constantly… In today's world one is constantly frustrated, trying to communicate one's problems to an automated voice at the other end of a company line. It was such a relief to be able to speak with an actual person (I had to pay for this privelege!) who used human intelligence to resolve the issues I had. Tyler F. quickly understood my problem, and then went the extra mile to personally resolve it as quickly as he could. He even followed up, informing me of the progress. Thank you, Tyler.

GBSteep Learning Curve but decent product First, Zak (Customer Service) was Awesome. He answered my concerns quickly and completely, with great follow-up. But everything else about the experience was not great... unclear directions on bleed and print parameters, inconsistent feedback from the process, Extended print times (even though i paid for express service), decent quality printing, though you need to use their ULTRA Premium Print if you have ANY graphics or pictures. Regular Premium Printing was horrible (low contrast, dull colors, etc). But, yes, once I got all of that figured out, I would use them again after the ridiculous self-taught learning curve.

GBGreat distribution and printing, less than ideal UX Great distribution and printing quality. I’ve moved away from Amazon print on demand as Ingram spark’s physical product is better. the user experience could do with some love (e.g hard to decipher error messages), and it would be great to have some marketing options incorporated other than adding the book to a newsletter (e.g. google ads).
