BookLocker.com, a firm that competes with CreateSpace (and many others), is the parent company of this publication.

CREATESPACE COMPLAINTS (now known as KDP Print) – PART IV

Published on August 31, 2016 complaints, Complaints about specific publishers, createspace complaints, pod complaints

CreateSpace is a mess. The process to get the proof is no problem. Everything was going swell until I ordered 50 copies on the 9th of January and chose expedited shipping. They shipped it standard, then it took 5 days to print the book, then another 5 days to get it to USPS. Then it was sent off, only to be delayed another 2 days. Now it’s the 20th and I need it for a book signing on the 23rd and there’s no way it’s getting from Pennsylvania to Lafayette, Louisiana in 2 days. Hopefully your service will be done correctly.
