Clown company Clown company. Their book-building tool is a joke. I added an image to the rear cover of my book, and several times during the publishing process the tool kept removing it. When it came to approving the final proofs the picture was removed. I asked for assistance and was told to ignore it - and the books arrived with image intact. A couple of weeks later I corrected an error in the text, and ordered more copies. I didn't touch the image. The books arrived without the image attached. I complained and was blatantly lied to. They insisted I had removed the image (why the hell would i??) and that their tool was unimpeachable. Clowns.

Totally nonexistent customer service Totally nonexistent customer service. I placed an order for advance copies of my book, and paid extra for rush service, which should have printed in 3 days. Now more than 2 weeks later I can't even get an estimated time to ship. Multiple requests to customer service go unanswered. I'm having a book release party with no book to actually show.

Unreliable delivery. Unreliable delivery. I've received numerous notifications that my book package has arrived at the drop-off point, but at the drop-off point they tell me that they have not received my package. I've been there several times.

Great 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).

Incredible Service! I have used IngramSpark services in the past to great satisfaction. I experienced some unusual trouble with my last order. My book files were approved and I ordered a copy, but then the same files were rejected when trying to order with different paper/color options to compare. Though the chat customer service was prompt and extensive, they could not explain why this happened nor confirm if the original order was being executed.... to my frustration. Client supervisor Kayla went above and beyond, contacting me by both phone and email. I know this is unusual and was surprised by the personal care I was receiving. Not only did she resolve the issue, but recommended I try the new Ultra Color option.... she sent me a copy at no charge so I can compare. I'm super impressed and won't consider any other book publisher now. Between their distribution, ease of use and this level of service, what more could you ask for?
