Orders at TDC
AELaura 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!

GBZak was great Zak was great. My e-book died when Spark took over. It took awhile to get it reinstated. Zak figured it all out and the ebook is now available (again). I have enjoyed working with your automated systems and have no complaints. Thanks you, ~~Gary

GB121 books out of 200 books amateur Ordered 200 books on fast order. They just about got here on time. However, of the order, 121 of the 200 are poor quality and look amateur. They say there should be 1/16th leeway on the print but the title is clearly not straight and the spine formatting is not straight either, but is for 79 books? The rest are unsellable. They blame the publisher for their errors. Unacceptable and waste of time and money. Very poor. As for the generic response that is frustrating, annoying and unhelpful. Waste of space.

GBTotally 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.

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.
