Terrible customer service Terrible customer service. You never can speak to anyone so you send them an email, wait 3-5 days and get a return email that has nothing to do with the issue. What was once a good company has dissolved. The only thing Ingram seems to care about is taking your money.

In 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.

Error message of “mobile number must be unique” There was a problem setting up my account because it conflicted with information when I originally set it up in 2016. Despite several attempts to remedy the conflict, it still didn’t recognize my cell phone (unchanged since 2016.) However, once Zac stepped in to work on my file, he resolved the problem in one day. After 18 days of email exchanges, nothing was resolved until Zac took over. He gets a gold star!

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?

Lightning Source to Spark complete failure Total Spark database failure -- in an attempt to save money, we switched from Lightning Source to Spark, having had assurances that it would be seamless. It wasn't. Beginning on 5 March 2024 we tried to upload new covers for two of our books that we'd entered under the LS regime. Spark wouldn't take them, claiming "Imprint name already taken." Surprise! It's OUR IMPRINT THAT WE'VE BEEN USING SINCE 2011. But somehow, Spark's IT folks have been unable to flip the bits necessary to tell the Spark side that (all) our Saddle Road Press books belong to us. This has caused problems -- do I even need to say that email help has been, so far, useless? No answer, no fix -- and it's the 15th -- ten days of an unfixed problem. Two authors need review copies and we're unable to produce them. It's causing trouble. This is just nuts.
