Ultius.com

General Impression

My first impression when I entered the website of this service was great. It’s an American service that hires only native writers and has set up a great-looking website that immediately attracted me. Now, it is said that the writers go through an intense training program before they start delivering academic pieces to the customers, but I couldn’t find any information about their education and expertise. The conclusion is that they are freelance writers who work on all types of projects without being specialized in particular categories.

The prices are really expensive and there are no discounts, but I decided to go for it, since I’ve heard a lot about the professionalism of Ultius.

Services provided

I ordered a research paper for my sociology class from this service. The list of academic writing services is not that elaborate, but the company does deliver different types of essays, research papers, theses, dissertations, lab reports, articles and other types of content.

Prices

The pricing policy doesn’t go into the company’s benefit. First of all, the prices for the deadlines of 20 days and 10 days are the same, which doesn’t make any sense. I went for Undergraduate level with a deadline of 7 days, so the price per page was $22. The quotes in the chart range from $17 to $65 per page.

Discounts and free features

The prices in the chart wouldn’t be so outrageous if Ultius offered some discounts for new and returning customers. I didn’t find such policy at this website; the quote I calculated before accessing the order form wasn’t reduced by a single dollar.

Ordering process

The website is cleanly organized and user-friendly, so I was able to place the order without wasting any time. The order form is really brief and asks you to choose the type of service, document type and subject, number of pages, citation style, and number of sources to be used. Then I added more information about my research paper (this was where I listed my clear expectations), and paid for the order.

The bad news is that I wasn’t able to contact the writer throughout the process. The company provides a messaging interface that enables the customers to get in touch directly with their writers, but the writer I got didn’t respond any of my messages.

Deadline

I went for the deadline of 7 days and calculated it from the moment I placed the order, but my research paper was 12 hours late. Luckily, I had few more days before the due date, so I was able to correct the paper myself. I didn’t bother asking for revisions, since I knew exactly what corrections were needed and it was easier for me to do the work by myself.

The work I got

The research paper was average, to say the least. There was nothing special in it, and it was probably the same work my professor has seen hundreds of times. The specific instructions I provided weren’t respected and the writer didn’t make an effort to collaborate with me. Bottom line, the high prices offered at Ultius.com are not worth paying for.
