I applied to them couple of days ago and had a phone interview with a very nice lady. I'm just about to send them my signed contract. They seem to be legit (and offer quite good money), however I wanted to check with board members before I sign up. I would be interested to hear from someone actually working for them. I'm particularly interested in: Do they pay on time? Are their prices set or can you negotiate if the assignment is particularly complex? How do they treat their writers? Many thanks in advance, Chris

A friend of mine wrote for them for a very short while. She said they pay, not exactly on time, but they do pay. They do not cheat. Her opinion was that the people are nice; but the ultimate lady Zhanna was rather brittle. My friend fell sick and delayed the essay by one day and her work was terminated.

Hi,
I have worked for them 2-3 years and still do. They are a great organization to work for and I have worked for a few and this is the best. I have never had a problem as long as you inform them of your circumstances. I was ill and informed them of the situation and they re-assigned the piece. They always pay on time, as per your contract. Also Zhanna is very professional and communicates well and is human not a computer system that allots you a rating. So don't worry this is not a scam like some I have come across.
Thanks AA

Quoting: researcheraaa I have worked for them 2-3 years and still do. They are a great organization to work for and I have worked for a few and this is the best. I have never had a problem as long as you inform them of your circumstances.
Do they accept good ESL?

Researcheraa,
While they pay, my friend who has read your input, does not agree with that kind of glorification!!

Tarangita, it would be more appropriate for your friend to post her own comments here and put here own side of the story across as you're a third party giving your reflection on the matter unless you too worked for them and you have first hand experience of this company.
I would be interested to hear from your friend exactly her reasons for her comments as I would like to have all the facts. And I have to ask the question... is it fair to compare one person's perspective who got fired after such a short period of time to another person who has worked for them for a number of years? But I am sure I will soon find out as thanks to researcheraaa, I have accepted their offer of working with them and I will be keeping you all posted of my experience of them whether it be good or bad!
Tarangita, I think your comment to researcheraaa, was rather unjustified:
"does not agree with that kind of glorification!!"
I have asked for opinions and experience and that's what I'm getting!
Chris

You already sound as though you weree from that company. People can have different experiences. Why are you so prickly about it? My friend says she is uninterested and lacks time. Hope you don't mind!!!
As you wanted opinions, we are all providing it. You should not get so worked up if the opinion is not according to your expectations. I really wonder why???!!!

You asked the question and when we answer the question why do you take up cudgels on the company's behalf? If you knew so much about them, why did you ask at all??

I have been working for papers4you for over 2 years. They are very professional. They always pay me on time. I was ill one time, I sent them an e-mail to tell them that I can't finish one assignment, so they re-assign for other writers to complete the work for me. You just need to tell them what happen and don't turn off your phone when you have the problem.
The best thing about them is that they care about their writers. My father passed away last year, and I need the money quick, papers4you cleared my payment faster (2 days after I infirmed them) than usual for that particular month. As I said, they are willing to learn about your problems. Unlike prospectsolution.com which is another writing company that I work for, they take writers for a granted. They always value customers' views over writers'.

Just an update on how it's been going with papers4you. I undertook 4 assignments in the last 2 weeks of February earning £640 and although there is always concern whether a company will pay on time – they did with no problems and no chasing up from me either. One of the assignments they offered me I felt required higher pay than they offered me so I asked for an extra £20 on top of what they offered and they agreed. I have spoken to them a couple of times on the phone and they all seemed to be very friendly, polite and supportive which again is also nice to actually speak to a human being. I'm very happy with this job and now planning to continue working with them. If anything changes, I'll let you all know.

I'm just glad it all seems to be working out with them and hope other writers find work with companies that actually pay.
