“I am satisfied with the writing expert's assistance...”

Kayla G.

I am satisfied with the writing expert's assistance thus far. Their expertise is evident in their nuanced guidance, aligning well with my academic pursuits in Educational Leadership. The expert demonstrates a deep understanding of content and structure, which is essential for my doctoral studies. Their feedback is insightful and constructively critical, helping me refine my arguments and enhance the clarity of my writing. This level of specialized support is instrumental in progressing toward my Ph.D. Goals.

Studybay is efficient, I gotten great results for my papers. Although I think they can do a little better with pricing. They don't tell you that there is a 15.00 charge and a surcharge depending on the type of payment on top of what they are charging you for the assignment. They should disclose all charges up front.

However, thank you for bringing attention to this matter, it will help us improve our service in future.

The service fee is a scam. Writers do not even get much of the money. When you have an online assignment it is hard to provide your login to the writers. I wish the transaction would flow better. It is also a lot of writers on there that do plagiarism and then when you ask for your money back studybay takes forever and does not put it back in your bank account.

Hello!

Thank you for sharing your experience.

That is true that the price that was set up by experts differs from the price we show to clients. The point is that we add service fee to the client's price.

My expert (who had accepted my job), canceled it 3 DAYS before the deadline. He didn't communicate with me or answer the administrators of the site. Very poor customer service.

Reason I chose this business:

I needed a paper to supplement what I had written for submission.

I had 3 different people give me a bid and when i selected them they raised the bid everytime. One woman raised her bid from $64 to $264. Soon as i spoke with them, even though all the information was on the project initially, nothing changed. They under bid just to get my attention then bang. Super frustrating

They just told me exactly what i already learned from the experience. Do not pay the original bid posted because they will most like raise the offer and then you gave to figure out how to collect your money to try and hire someone else.

Reason I chose this business:

I have work and school. I am so overwhelmed due to the summer being short, 16 weeks crammed into 6weeks.

I hired an expert but they were not online and I did not want to wait 12 hours till I could choose another expert. I contacted customer service but apparently they can't cancel the project since it messes with the experts review which is dumb. If the expert did not accept the project it shouldn't mess with that. Also as the client I should be able to cancel my project if I want to. I don't want my project on studybay and they won't remove it until the expert replies. Absolutely useless.

Hello Mahima,

First of all, that you for the feedback. It helps us grow and develop our service. I understand your frustration, and I see why you are upset. Unfortunately, we really cannot cancel the order at this stage, or the expert's confirmation rate will decline. On our side, that would be unfair as we support the interests of both our experts and clients. However, please, let me apologize for such a flow, there is a lot to work on, and we appreciate you pointing this out and taking the time to write a detailed review. Also, I would like to remind you that our customers can cancel the choice of an expert after a couple of hours after the order is made.

Best of luck,
Studybay Team

Used Studybay to do a case study in my course and I received a pass. Quite happy with the writer and result. Although the site admins could review and make the prices more affordable to struggling students.

I use this site because I find my lifestyle to be very busy working full time with a family. I can quickly and easily place an order ahead of time, give detailed instructions and I can get a completed assignment. They tend to over charge in my opinion, the writers seem very money hungry and the service fees should not be as high as they are.
