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.

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.

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!

Literally HORRIBLE customer service. Literally HORRIBLE customer service. 12 days, innumerable emails, still no solution. I saw the horror stories on YouTube. I tried going in with an open mind. They're horrible.

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.
