Incredible Service! I have used IngramSpark services in the past to great satisfaction. I experienced some unusual trouble with my last order. My book files were approved and I ordered a copy, but then the same files were rejected when trying to order with different paper/color options to compare. Though the chat customer service was prompt and extensive, they could not explain why this happened nor confirm if the original order was being executed.... to my frustration. Client supervisor Kayla went above and beyond, contacting me by both phone and email. I know this is unusual and was surprised by the personal care I was receiving. Not only did she resolve the issue, but recommended I try the new Ultra Color option.... she sent me a copy at no charge so I can compare. I'm super impressed and won't consider any other book publisher now. Between their distribution, ease of use and this level of service, what more could you ask for?

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.

EXTREMELY 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.

Totally 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.

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.
