TORG (The Oxbridge Research Group/Club Malamatinas) advertise that it's possible to meet with your researcher in London. They told me that if this isn't possible because they live far away, they could arrange a conference call.
I asked last Monday to arrange it, but the researcher hasn't responded by today (end of Saturday). They say they have emailed the person again today. I would kind of have expected them to call when the person doesn't respond to emails.
Anyone have any experience with this? Success/lack of success with speaking to your researcher?

Oxbridge Essays are proud to be the only model essay company in the UK who offer face-to face or telephone consultations between client and writer. This unique service enables you to discuss in detail the specifics of your brief, authenticating not only the calibre of the writer, but also ensuring they understand in full the specifics of your requirements. Moreover, meeting with your writer in person (or speaking to them via telephone if they do not live in London) offers you the opportunity to gain valuable advice and new ideas about how you may wish to approach your studies. We have specific meeting rooms where you can meet with the writer and discuss your essay in total privacy. So long as we are given appropriate notice (this service is, of course, subject to the writer's availability) we can facilitate a meeting (or telephone consultation) for all our clients. When using our meet-your-writer service, however, do bear in mind that many of our writers are freelance and, in rare instances, do not respond to our attempts to contact them. Furthermore, bear in mind that meetings are unlikely to happen immediately as several days may be required to organise such consultations. We will, however, keep you updated throughout the process.

Mixed bag so far:
- I did eventually get to speak to the writer (which was good). Given the time it took and difficulty to get it organised I would say that anyone booking an order over less than 20 days are very unlikely to be able to do this. What was not superb was that I intentionally booked a long time to delivery so the writer could have some time to read on the topic, but when we spoke halfway through the period I had the clear impression he hadn't even started and couldn't even quite remember what the question was about.
- The quality of writing in parts sent so far has however been good.
- It's now gone a number of days past the initial deadline though, and also past the later extension I agreed to. It is at the point where if I don't receive pretty much "in the course of the next 12 hours" it's of no use to me whatsoever.
- I told them this in an email and said I would be happy to receive a part if the whole wasn't ready, though no response. On the phone this morning I was told it had been received and was going through quality control, but 8 hours later nothing has been sent. Email sent asking to bypass quality control and 'just send it' has been unanswered.

By the way, I will update this when the final part is received (HINT HINT).

dingoperson and others: unfortunately, the pricing/deadline structure that customers like to see works very differently for writers. On almost every site (every site that I know of, anyway), you pay less per page for a longer deadline. This, of course, means that writers earn less money per page on orders with longer deadlines. Customers expect MORE time to be spent on their paper ("I gave them a month to work on it!") when writers are actually compensated LESS for their time.
During the busy season, I generally don;t take papers more than a day or two ahead of time, and when I orders with longer deadlines I generally put them off until close to the last minute--I have work due more immediately that pays me better.
It's not your fault as the customer, as the system is rather confusing, but in all reality if you want a writer devoted to your project for a full twenty days, you will need to pay twenty days of living wages--or a few thousand dollars. This is why my rates are generally the same when I work with customers privately regardless of deadlines--whether I have a month or a day to write four pages, I have to spend the same amount of time working on the project.

IMO, being given a longer deadline has merits that deserve some discount on prices. I agree that a longer deadline doesn't mean that a writer would devote more (or less) total time per word on the project than he/she would a project with a tighter deadline, but having a longer deadline means being able to work on the project a little at a time. When given a lengthy project (say 10,000 words) with a long deadline (say a month), I usually work on 1000-word chunks of the project every other day. This makes the project easier to do than having to write it in one sitting. However, customers should realize that there is obviously a cap on the amount of discount that can be given for more time. For example, a client should not expect to pay any less for a project due in 30 days than a project due in 10. Setting this cap is of course the prerogative of the writer.
