AI Highlights
  • - First order was bad.
  • - A staff member explained saving the file as PDF/X; the second order came out wonderful and I am happy with The Book Patch.

When I got my first order, it turned out just horrible. I called and spoke to a man that took a lot of time to figure out why it looked so bad.

He figured out that I did not save the file correctly (as a PDF/X). He walked me through on how to do that. Well, I placed another order and this time the book came out wonderful.

I am so happy with The Book Patch. Thank you!

User's recommendation: I highly recommend this service.

Disappointing service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Trouble reordering two books; 'My Broken Heart' showed an error and vanished from account.
  • - Experience in Vietnam; the book was a vital healing tool.

Have written 2 books and always had no issues getting copies printed when needed. Several days ago went into my account to reorder both.

At first they both showed under my account, but when i tried to order my first one, "My Broken Heart" it gave me an error, then I could no longer see that book under my account.

This is my experience in Vietnam and was a vital healing tool for me. Sincerely, NORMAND MANUEL

The book size was discontinued. You were told by email 3 months earlier that they would be removed at the end of June.

Resolved: My Order 101**** is all messed up

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Order last night charged for all books; many were cut off.
  • - Asks to cancel or correct visa charge and to call Carolyn Fetscher at (305) 666-****.
Updated by user Dec 21, 2023

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with apology. I was unsettled that I couldn't reach the company, but they shortly later called a number of times to resolve my issue and completely restored my faith in them.

Its a very good company overall, but they have so much work, that its hard for them to keep up with customer phone calls or emails.

Definitely recommend this company. Thank you.

Original review Nov 21, 2023

I placed an order last night, and your computer chopped off many of the books but charged me for all the books. Should I cancel the visa charge, or will you straighten this out.

Please call Carolyn Fetscher at (305) 666-****.

Pros:
  • Good printing results and prompt shipping
Cons:
  • Terrible customer service

Preferred solution: Better Customer Service, by phone or email

User's recommendation: Good company in terms of printing and shipping out books, but their customer service needs help. Its hard to get in contact with them.

Unable to reorder copies of my books

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Buy now shows printing blocked due to missing text or cover files.
  • - It asks the author to upload text or cover files; restore is needed.

When I click on buy now to order more copies of previously published books, I get a message stating these books cannot be printed because either text and/or cover file is missing. It asks author to upload book text and/or cover files.

I have not changed any files originally sent to Book Patch for the printing of these books.

Not sure why they are missing but Book Patch needs to restore the files so I can reorder. The titles in question are Your Taxpayer Dollars, pub 2/10/2015 and Manufactured Alibis, pub 1/30/2017.

Preferred solution: Resolve the reason my books are unavailable to reprint

When will my book get here? I ordered it on July 5

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Order placed July 5 for The Produce Nerd's Grocery Guide; no update.
  • - Rep emailed; order didn't go through on Book Patch's site; switched to e-book.

Hi there. I ordered "The Produce Nerd's Grocery Guide" (author: Megan Crivelli) on July 5th.

I haven't heard anything from you yet as far as when it will arrive. Please, could you let me know? Thank you!

Update (7/23/23): I heard from a representative and she stayed in touch with me for the rest of the transaction (via emails). It turns out that somehow or another my order didn't go through when I ordered the book on The Book Patch's website.

She encouraged me to try ordering again, but this time, instead of a physical book, I purchased the e-Book. That went through easily.

User's recommendation: I'd do business with them again

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Website claimed 3-5 day publishing, but it took 5-10 days.
  • - 2-day shipping failed to arrive in time.
  • - Unanswered calls and a single email contact.

I should have known you get what you pay for. I relied on their website and ordered a very sentimental and time sensitive book that I wrote for my late father.

I kept calling them to confirm if my order will make it in time. No one answers. Their website is incorrect of 3-5 day publishing time. Now they are telling me they cant ship in time as it takes 5-10 days to publish.

They only have one person who emails back and forth (promptly in a days turnaround). I even paid for 2 day shipping. I am so disappointed and the whole reason I wanted to unveil this book on my dads 1st death anniversary is wasted. I am so so sad I cant present this to my mother as a gift.

Its all because of this companys unclear instructions and bad customer service.

Plus they have limited products to choose them. I would never use them again

User's recommendation: Go elsewhere and have a better experience

For now, the one person, Jerry, is helping me get my order published before their expected due date. He's been very kind and helpful. If I receive the books in time, I would like to take this review down and give the company a thumbs up

Produced publications exceeded my expectations. Easy to format with provided templates and the uploading process was simple to follow.

User's recommendation: Safe to try.
