SpeedyPaper.com is a relative newcomer in the writing service business, but we have already received some comments and feedback on the company, as well as requests for a review. While the company states that it is based in the U.S., it is actually based in Ukraine. This alone does not mean that it is fraudulent. Many foreign-based services claim to be U.S.-based because they believe that it promotes more trust among English-speaking customers. So, we began this review with an open mind, using the same criteria that we do for all of our reviews – content presented on the company website, testimonials that the site posts, customer reviews that have been submitted to us or found elsewhere on the web, samples if available, prices, and any additional benefits or perks. Is Speedy Paper safe? The following is all that we found.
SERVICES AND FEATURES AVAILABLE
Speedy Paper focuses only on academic writing products and services, for students at all levels of study. Products include all types of essays, research papers on any topic, book and movie reviews, critiques and analyses, case studies, lab reports, and even major graduate-level projects such as theses and dissertations. They also produce application and scholarship essays for both undergraduate and graduate/professional programs.
In terms of services, the company provides editing and proofreading, problem-solving assignments, and other coursework.
PRICING SYSTEM AND DISCOUNTS
Speedypaper.com has a pricing chart so that customers know upfront what their order will cost. Pricing ranges from $8 per page for a basic high school essay and increases up to $88/page for admissions essays with a 6-hour deadline. In between, there are prices for undergraduate and graduate-level pieces. Pricing depends upon the type of product ordered, the academic level, and the deadline requirement. Overall, pricing is in the low average range for the industry.
In terms of discounts, there are none that are published on the site. We did contact customer support and ask about these. We were told that discounts were given on an individual basis when customers requested them and that a coupon code would be given for them. It might be a good idea for Speedy Paper to set up a discount plan and publish it on its site, or at least tell customers that they can request one.
Luckily, it is possible to find a Speedy Paper promo code and lower the price even more. This is great for customers who don’t have a lot of money and would need a discount. Promo codes allow the prices to get even lower, making them ideal for people with longer essay requests. You only need to make sure you find coupons and promo codes to fulfill this wish.
SECURITY LEVEL AND PAYMENT METHODS
Customers can pay via any major credit card or PayPal. These methods seem fully safe, as the company uses a third-party SSL-certified processor – one that is used by major retailers all over the web. Financial information is thus secure.
WRITERS’ EXPERTISE AND DELIVERY
Here is where the “rubber meets the road” so to speak. A writing service is only as good as the people who actually produce products and services. In the case of Speedypaper.com, we used a few factors in determining product quality:
-
We reviewed the on-site testimonials, all of which were very positive. This is to be expected.
-
We reviewed what former customers had to say about the quality they received.
-
We read several samples that are published on the site.
In general, the off-site feedback and comments are mixed. While some customers were satisfied with their pieces, others were not. Some believed that ESL writers were used, given the grammatical and word usage errors they found. Many stated they either had to ask for revisions or make those corrections themselves. All customers stated that they did receive their orders on time, which is certainly a plus.
We also looked at the Speedy Paper Reddit opinions, where people complained about the English level of the writers. Others declared their paper was plagiarized, and that they asked for a refund which was not granted, while some customers even missed deadlines because of this service. So, someone who wonders “Is Speedy Paper legit?” and stumbles upon this page would form a negative opinion.
The samples we reviewed, two research papers and an application for admission essay, were not what we would consider great writing. One piece related to omnivore eating habits was actually focused on the poor diets of society and the issues of food production. The application essay was fraught with grammar and word usage errors. The other research paper we reviewed reflected the same grammar issues and used only secondary resources – not acceptable for a college-level paper.
In general, we would state that, while Speedy Paper is a legal entity and can be trusted to deliver orders on time, the quality seems to vary a lot.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
It appears that the title, table of contents, and bibliography pages are free, for the charges are based upon the actual page length of the piece. There are other additional benefits that are fee-based, including “VIP service” and a plagiarism report. Since the company guarantees no plagiarism, we wonder why customers have to pay extra for a report. This should be handled by a quality control department that checks for this before the product is delivered.
It would also be nice to see a blog with articles that would be of benefit to students.
Also, we looked into the guarantees offered by the website. There is a Money-Back Guarantee available, and we think this is an important feature we should let everyone know about. According to them, they will give the money back if the customer asks for a refund. It all depends on the case, though.
To be more specific, you may qualify for a 100%, 90%, 70%, and 50% refund, depending on your situation. The eligibility for refunds exists before and after approving the paper.
It turns out there is also a revision policy and the team will look into your paper and revise it in case it doesn’t meet your specifications. Of course, your instructions should not contradict the initial ones. If everything’s fine, then the writer will be asked to make the necessary changes. The customer is eligible for up to 3 free revision requests before approving the paper. If the customer approved the order, he/she can request a free revision within 7 days.
CONCLUSION
Here is what we can objectively state about Speedypaper.com. It is a legal and reliable writing service. As it matures as a company, we can assume that it will improve the quality of writing, even if that means increasing prices a bit. Right now, we are giving the company a rating of 3, on a 5-point scale.
