Just wanted to share my expereince with MyPublisher as a word of
caution to others.

I recently ordered 3 copies of a book from them. I used their Bookmaker
software, made sure I built each page to their exact specs and
previewed each page in the software before submitting the order.

I received three books where four of the pages were cut off in some
way. Pages that their software said were safe would not be cropped.

I wrote MyPublisher as they have a 100% guarantee.

Their offer to solve the problem? I pay for these three books that are
useless and they will be happy to print a new set for 50% off! What an
offer? They get to keep my money from the first order for books they
screwed up and want me to pay for a second batch so they can pocket
some more.

INCREDIBLE!

I am still debating with their customer service department and expect
better, but wanted some to know what "100% guarantee" means to
MyPublisher.

If you paid them using your charge card, call the card company and have them
back-charge the vendor.

I tried them once, and they screwed up my book, as well. I got my cover pic
with someone else's Australian vacation inside. They told me that this
simply isn't possible, even though I was staring at the proof. I did
eventually get my book, but it took an act of congress to convince them they
screwed up. Yes, I had to mail the book to a person in customer service, who
then called me and tried to put the blame on me, saying I somehow messed up
the order. So I asked how I could have received a book with a bunch of
pictures I'd never seen before; someone else's pics? They eventually caved
in and reprinted my book. The service rep was amazingly stubborn in
admitting that they made a mistake, even though the irrefutable proof was
right there.

Never again. I'm giving Blurb a try this week. I'll let you all know if it's
any good.

EXACTLY!


I sent them the specs I used to create the pages (DPI, size, etc.) all
exactly as their web site says and they claim it is "customer-generated
error".

Apparently, ANY mistake MyPublisher.com makes is stamped
"customer-generated error" so they don't have to refund and I bet most
customers give up.

Sounds like their Customer Service deparment is trained to call
customers liers to avoid credits.

I suggest that each of you go to "ResellerRatings.com" and take a few
minutes to rate your experience. Others will benefit, and it might even
help change how this outfit does business.

On my way now...

Good advice.

Gosh Bob, glad to hear it, but you seem to be alone.

I talked to about 10 people yesterday, all with problems with product
or customer service.

Now, they are making me PROVE the error was theirs before issuing any
credit. Can you believe it? What a horrible way to run a customer
service department!

No wonder so many competitors are popping up and thriving!
