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.

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!

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.

Unbeatable Service! I have never experienced a faster and friendlier service from a publisher this big, and with so much to do. You really do make this experience as easy as it possibly can be. Thank you!

121 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.
