Ukessays.com Review

Prices and Discounts

I knew UK Essays would be expensive, but I had no idea how much I’d have to pay. The standard rate is $172 for 1000 words with a required grade set at Bachelor Grade B (60-69%). At first, I wanted to pick Bachelor Grade A (70%+), but that doubled the price to $343, and I could not afford to pay that much. The prices go even higher if your deadline is under seven days. 

Considering the rates, of course, I searched for a Ukessays.com promo code. The best deal I could find was a referral program that offers up to 15% off for referring friends. The service did not work out for me, and I don’t want my friends to suffer the same fate, so this wasn’t an option for me, and I had to pay the full price.

Services Quality

My Lit seen exam was coming up, so I hired UK Essays to provide my answers while I took care of other classes. I admit the order form is cool, especially the pricing calendar that looks like something off Airbnb and shows how prices go down with longer deadlines. I also enjoyed playing around with the required grade field, though some prices seemed exorbitant. All in all, getting my order in took a few minutes. I uploaded the question file and patiently awaited the finished work.

This UK Essays review would have been much more positive had the writer looked beyond Wikipedia to answer my exam questions. They had the gall to paste whole passages into the file without paraphrasing them. And the worst thing is that many responses did not answer the questions but explained some of the terms and notions. Other questions were left unanswered. Of course, I could not use these answers and ended up reworking the whole thing. And the company refused to give my money back because I had no proof of a low grade. 

Online Reputation 

SiteJabber

Despite a relatively high rating of 4.21 stars, UK Essays has some nasty reviews. I ignored all posts that recommended other services as clear fakes. Still, a few genuine complaints claimed unfulfilled grade guarantees, low writing quality, and inconsistent support experience, which mirrored my own. It was also surprising to see a company representative respond to good reviews only, ignoring legitimate complaints.

Trustpilot 

If there were any Ukessays.com Trustpilot reviews, I couldn’t access them. The service was deemed a bad fit for Trustpilot, and customer feedback was blocked. 

Reddit

Surprisingly, there aren’t many Ukessays.com Reddit reviews. Most discussions asking for reviews are filled with links and recommendations for other writing sites. The thread that stood out to me was a complaint about the Redditor’s research article being published on UK Essays without acknowledgement of authorship. So the company is willing to steal others’ work and post it, ignoring copyright regulations, which doesn’t paint it in a good light.

Other Review Websites

I found a handful of other detailed posts about UK Essays, most of which weren’t complimentary. The authors of Scam Fighter, Best British Writer, Essay Rescue, and other blogs seem to share my view of overpriced writing and poor academic results. 

Social Media Activity 

Facebook 

Reviews are the best part of the UKEssays Facebook page. The latest reviews are obviously for a trading platform, not a writing service. It seems like someone was paid to post it but mixed up Facebook profiles. The rest of the profile isn’t anything special, with few likes, shares, and comments, which is strange for a page with 40K+ followers.

Twitter

The Twitter account seems rather bland, but it’s been around since 2009. Marketing tweets are the most common in the feed, though there are some motivational posts here and there. With over 2,700 followers, the account seems almost lifeless, with minimum likes, retweets, and comments.

Youtube 

There’s something really strange about UKEssays’ presence on Youtube. There’s a UKEssays Better Racing League channel that uses the URL in every video name, but it doesn’t seem to have any other connection to the website. It can be just another marketing schtick, though I’m surprised such a respected company would stoop so low. 

Customer Support

I’m a full-time student with a part-time job, so whenever I had a free moment to contact the support team, they were unavailable. The agents are online nine to five on workdays, ten to six on Saturdays, and not on Sundays. I kept sending them emails, but the response time was so slow that I was always ahead by two or three messages. For the money I paid, I expected better communication. I only have myself to blame because plenty of UKEssays reviews mentioned this fact, but I chose to ignore it, thinking I wouldn’t need to contact the support team all that often.

Guarantees

They didn’t make it easy, but I made sense of the revision and refund rules for this Ukessays.com review. For one, all refunds are made at the company’s discretion, meaning they can ignore your request without legal repercussions. For another, you only have seven days to ask for amendments unless you specify a longer period when placing the order. And if you get a grade below the one you requested in the order form, they will only refund the difference between the price you paid and the one you’d have paid if you wanted the grade you achieved. 

Long story short, there’s no guarantee you’ll pass your class; if you don’t, you may not even get your money back.

Conclusion

I honestly expected this UKEssays review to praise, not complain. But the high prices coupled with the lacking customer support and weak exam answers soured my opinion of the service. UK Essays is trying to coast on its hard-earned reputation, but it won’t work much longer if they keep robbing students blind without giving quality results in return.
