IngramSpark 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.

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.

Laura is the best business partner I could hope for! Laura, IngramSpark UK Supervisor, has been the most helpful and supportive representative I’ve communicated with. There were delays with one of our orders which we urgently needed for an event, and although Laura managed our expectations and didn’t promise us it would arrive on time, it did! She truly saved the day. I’m reasonably new to the platform, and make mistakes from time to time. Laura has been quick to correct things and provide me with the guidance to get it right. I run a tiny business and some days are just so stressful, but Laura’s support has made me feel I can truly rely on IngramSpark as a business partner, which I haven’t felt in the past. I’m so grateful for her support!

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.

Ingram 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! Author Artist Michael Fischer @ toonsthatrock.com
