BestEssays.com Review

BestEssays Overview

BestEssays.com is an essay writing service where students place orders for academic papers. The site is operated by CareersBoost Limited (former Universal Research Inc) and was founded in 2004 (although they claim 1997).

EssayWriters.net is the name that people find alongside BestEssays.com. This is because EssayWriters.net is actually an academic platform where writers get orders from BestEssays.com. So, technically, BestEssays.com is affiliated with EssayWriters.net. Former Universal Research Inc. also operates ninjaessays.com, rushessay.com, superiorpapers.com and other websites.

BestEssays.com has high prices so students pay for papers, yet the quality of the papers isn't good. To make things even worse, writers are paid peanuts in the best case. We are saying "in the best case" because in the past writers didn't even get the money for writing services which is clearly dishonest.

BestEssays.com and other sites have got a pretty bad reputation, due to its owner who cheats people around the world. This man is well-known for cheating and making immoral moves.

So, this BestEssays.com review will help you save your money and time, whether you want to order a paper or become a writer for this company.

BestEssays.com and EssayWriters.net

At the EssayWriters.net website, you'll read great things about this company. Namely, the description says the company offers good working conditions to its writers. This includes competitive rewards, continuous flow of orders and live support.

Unfortunately, many writers fall for what they read, not knowing they're falling into a trap. What one reads at this website is far from the truth. After we read reviews about this site, we realized that BestEssays.com writers are (or were) actually exploited. Not only have they worked hard they also got a ridiculous amount of money for every paper (according to the reviews, writers get between $0.01 to $4.9 per page, while students pay from $19).

In addition, they don't even get their hard-earned money, because the company deactivates their account so they don't have to pay them. Unbelievable. Of course, writers have left reviews at SiteJabber and other sites in order to warn other people.

Prices

Prices at BestEssays.com starts from $21.99. Compared to average market prices, it's expensive. As a student, you'll find numerous discounts and get BestEssays discount code. However, this doesn't mean much because you will probably still get a poor quality paper.

And let us not forget that your writer won't get a penny from the work he/she did for you. So, taking into account the quality of the paper you receive, the prices are pretty high.

Quality

As stated by SimilarWeb, more than 93% of visitors are from Kenya while only ~3% are from the USA. This means that writers who work for this company are from Kenya. So, most writers don't have good English language knowledge, thus the quality of papers is poor.

Of course, there are many writers with good English writing skills, but keep in mind that they receive the lowest payment so they aren't satisfied and motivated. This explains why many writers missed the deadline, so the clients got a poor grade for the paper. Also, about 50% of reviews at SiteJabber are negative.

As for the positive, some clients claimed they received good quality papers on time. Indeed, there are many positive BestEssays.com reviews that seem real. However, it doesn't mean that those reviews are honest. It's fact that many of clients was unhappy with the service.

Guarantees

Money Back Guarantee

As for money back guarantee, well, there were cases when clients paid for papers, and requested for a refund, since they didn't even get a paper and no one responded.

According to the site, refunds are rare, and if you happen to be unhappy with the paper, you must name clear and strong reasons. Only then the reviewing team will take a look at your refund request which still doesn't mean that you'll get your money.

Everyone can request a refund within 72 hours after order completion. After 3 days, it's to be assumed that you're satisfied with the product and will not be eligible for any refunded amount.

Revision Policy

To receive free revision BestEssays.com requires that the students provide the request within 14 (30) days, depending on the type of work.

Even though they claim you'll get revisions if needed, clients said writers refused to make changes in the paper and they had to do that on their own.

BestEssays Online Reputation

Whether you want to work as a writer or place an order, you should know that every site owned by this company got a bad reputation, because of obvious reasons. If you want to see it for yourself, you can read BestEssays review at SiteJabber and similar sites. In fact, we suggest you do that because you will definitely have things to see. So, to sum up, the quality of papers is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and the prices are high. But, it doesn't end there.

Reselling Papers in the Past?

The worst part of this site is that some students had problems at the college or school. This happened when the site sold their papers through MightyStudents.com.

So MightyStudents.com was a kind of a databank where all of the essays written for students can be downloaded for a fee (source).

Date of Foundation

BestEssays states that they have been working since 1997. It's a lie. According to WebArchive, there was no such essay service till 2004.

Fake Review Sites

In addition, there are also fake review sites so be careful. We did a little research and found dozens of affiliated sites that redirect traffic to Universal Research Inc. essay services.

This company is a #1 in making fake review sites, so be careful. Fake review sites mean that the company creates essay writing service review websites that are obviously scam. Their purpose is to present competitors by posting bad reviews about them.

What's more, the owner of these sites wants to drive traffic to his own essay services by writing positive reviews about them. While this marketing strategy may seem like a smart one, it usually doesn't take too long to reveal these fake reviews.

When you compare these review platforms, the first thing you'll notice is that they all praise the same sites: BestEssays.com, NinjaEssays.com, College-Paper.org, RushMyEssay.com, etc. The next thing that tells you these are fake sites is that their competitors have got a bad rating and bad reviews. Finally, all of these praised essay services have the same order form.

So, the truth is you never know when you read a positive review whether it's true. Therefore, instead of focusing on positive reviews, read negative ones because you'll probably get a better picture of the site.

Recent News

BestEssays’ journey to becoming a trusted essay writing service isn’t smooth-sailing but to their credit, we did see some improvement in the quality of their customer service. In the past years, we’ve seen a steady stream of positive BestEssays reviews on platforms like SiteJabber, which means that the company is finally exerting some effort to address client issues.

This time around, they’ve assigned a customer service rep to address complaints on said review site, which speeds up the process of resolving issues raised by their customers. It’s a good sign, which means they may be doing better work now.

Pros

• Enticing discounts. Company offers regular discounts and promo codes for new customers, as well as impressive deals for loyal clients.
• Flexible guarantees. Has longer-than-usual cooling off periods for customers to process refund and revision requests, in case they’re not satisfied with the final product.

Cons

• Substandard quality. While some are pleased with the quality of their ordered paper, there are many more reports of badly written papers that were obviously written by mediocre writers.
• Steep price. Most of their services and add-on features are exorbitantly priced, considering the poor quality of their papers.
• Shady reputation. Company is notorious for spreading fake reviews as a way to aggressively market their services and mislead customers with fake information.
• Pricing. Considering the poor quality of the service the prices are high.

Our Verdict

BestEssays.com has a long and storied history, and it’s not exactly a colorful one. They’ve had a bad past, mostly because they keep making promises they can’t always live up to. But throughout the years, we can see that the company is trying to turn on a new leaf by improving customer service quality.

Still, there’s a long and rough road ahead before we can say they’re completely legitimate and safe to use. For now, they’re doing better but they need to do more before we can recommend them to our readers.
