I just submitted an order for an 8 page research paper due by Thursday with Essaytown. I requested pheelyks or FreelanceWriter, and it shows the paper is in progress. Is there anyway to determine if I recieved one of these writers or if, in fact, the paper is already being worked on?

heyy welcome to the club... i've also requested for either of them but unfortunately they didn't pick up my order. The status panel will automatically say there's a writer working on your order but nobody's really working on it until you get an actual message from your writer.

well let me know if you get your paper and it is satisfactory. I'm in the same boat as you being in a desperate situation and really praying for good results.

I asked the writer a question basically asking if the project was a reasonable request for the time allotted. Would the writer respond to such a question or just ignore it since it does not pertain to the paper writing process?

FreelanceWriter: I've never seen the panel from the customer's end, but just to clarify, you don't necessarily get a message from the writer unless he/she has a question or needs to contact you. I don't know that you get an automatic confirmation that your order has been taken by a writer but I know that you don't always get messages from your writer unless there's some specific reason to contact you.
i see i see thanks for the clarification! I was under that assumption cos i got an email from the customer service support saying that there wasn't a writter assigned to my order yet, and that was approximately 2hrs before my writer replied to my message.

I always try to answer messages. The only ones I ignore are really silly messages telling me how important it is for me to write it well or to use good English or to make sure it's not plagiarized, or really obnoxious messages after the essay is delivered asking me why I didn't "use any quotation marks" in references from my sources because the customer doesn't even understand that you don't "quote" unless you actually use the words of the source. Sometimes, I also get obnoxious messages like "I asked for 5 sentences per paragraph and one paragraph only had 4" to which I just respond "You're welcome for your essay." Otherwise, I answer most questions before and after the essay is delivered.

Anymore opinions? I've never used a service like this so I'm a little worried.

You could even be a spamming scammer who has absolutely nothing of value to add in any of the threads you've recently been posting in.

You better hurry and spam some more before your account gets closed.

Why in the HELL are you asking that question here? Does this look like essaytown.com to you? This is not that site's support forum!

I've been in and out of the hospital these past few weeks and I am now waiting for news on whether or not I have cancer. As you can imagine, I am having a hard time focusing on my paper that is due and I really needed some help. I am near the end of my class and I have been doing great and didn't want to ruin that. I decided to use essaytown after reading these reviews....I have to say though....I think I have been scammed. I am sick at the thought of losing the money that I don't have and not being able to finish my paper. I too was assigned a writer immediately which I found odd. The paper was due yesterday at 3:00. I did not get the paper or a reply from the writer so I wrote to customer service. I did get an answer:
Message from Customer Support:
Hello Virginia, We apologize for this delay. The writer is completing this order and will be uploading shortly. Thank you for your patience. Jill - SNR.
Well, now it is the next day and I have sent numerous msgs to the writer as well as customer service and have not received any answers. I have also tried the phone number which only sends you to an answering machine. Since I am now a day late in receiving my paper, I should not have paid as much as I did and I am afraid that I have been scammed and will not get any paper at all. Since mine is due tomorrow, it will not do me any good after that. I cannot recommend this service at all and I plan to call the better business beaureau as well as my credit card company. Just so you don't think I am making it up my order number is
Order ID: A2044517

The Braxton Bragg paper? I saw that. There's nothing unusual at all about papers getting taken as soon as they go up. Some of us are pretty quick because it can get very competitive if you do this for a living fulltime. You weren't "scammed" but writers are human and may sometimes blow deadlines, lose files, break legs, go to the hospital themselves, or lose parents. If someone misses a deadline, a late notice goes out and if the customer complains, admin contacts the writer immediately to find out what's up. I have no idea what the story is with that paper but you didn't get scammed. Worst case scenario is the writer blew it and you'll get a 100% refund if it's too late to reassign and you'll be given that choice. The company probably handles 100,000+ papers a year and manages hundreds of writers. Sometimes you take a good suit to the cleaners and you tell them you "must have this back by Friday for a wedding" and then Friday comes and they tell you it hasn't come back yet. They blew it, but nobody got "scammed." Stuff happens. In every industry.

Client: I paid for the paper and never got it.
FreelanceWriter (the company writer): Dont worry, you have not been scammed.
HUH? You sound like used shoe salesman.

You can over-simplify all you want. The customer might not have received their paper because, as FW explained, sh*t happens and writers/businesses do drop the ball sometimes, but they'll be getting their money back if they don't get/no longer want the paper. That's how honest businesses work (I realize you wouldn't know anything about honest businesses, of course).
