GREXTREMELY INCOMPETENT AND DISORGANIZED These people are incompetent as hell. They have a billion different graphics that make no fxxx sense. Absolute incompetence is reporting sales! The team is unprofessional and unreliable, and they are extremely disorganized. EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED!!! Your sales reports are a total and complete mess. It is as if you don't know how to use your brains. It's like you people have no clue of what you are doing.

GBTerrible 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.

GBClown 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.

DKUnreliable 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.

GBLightning 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.
