As a student who’s looking for an essay writing service, it’s important to make sure that you’re choosing the right one. During your search, you may have come across Essay Basics, a seemingly complete service that markets itself as being the service you can trust.
However, today we’re going to explore the ins and outs of this service to see whether it does, in fact, provide a basic yet trustworthy service, or whether you should be taking your business elsewhere and find an alternative service that’s reliable and not a scam.
Services
While there’s no dedicated services page to see whether the task you’re after is even offered, it seems as though the only service you can offer is custom essays. It’s worth noting that other sites offer a full range of dedicated writing and editing services, sometimes in excess of 50+.
On the homepage, you’ll find the opportunity to type in the topic of your required essay and the urgency in which you require it. You’ll then be able to see how much you’ll have to pay per page. There doesn’t seem to be an option to alter the academic level of your work.
Quality
While there are a few reviews on the homepage from past customers (but no dedicated testimonials page), these reviews are basic at best and don’t comprehensively describe the service. Furthermore, there are no dates on any of these reviews.
This means these reviews could, in fact, be years out of date and no longer reflect the service accurately. Searching online, there are plenty of mixed reviews on the website, some saying it’s really good, some claiming it’s the worst. The quality of the content delivered is therefore inconsistent at best.
Prices at Essay Basics
I was disappointed to discover that there is no pricing page or tables on the website, so you can easily find out how much your required service will be. Although there’s an order form on the homepage, this only provides you with a rough guideline and doesn’t necessarily represent the final price.
Scrolling down the homepage, however, you’ll see a range of applicable discount codes and coupons you can apply to your final price. These seem to range from 5% to 15% and depend on how many orders you’ve made in the past.
Support
While this service may seem too basic, the company does offer a range of decent support options. There are US phone numbers (toll-free), a single email address and a 24/7 live chat service. There’s no Australian phone number, or a physical address based in Australia.
This should help you to get in touch if you need help, but a dedicated pre and post-sales helpdesk would be preferable, especially if you want to ask for a refund.
No Australian phone number. No information about whether or not writers are capable to write according to Australian standards. Pricing in USD.

Summary
All in all, it’s safe to say there’s not a lot going on over at EssayBasics. While the site may be trustworthy and provide good content, the track record has been rocky at best, meaning you should make your purchases with caution. Is Essay Basics legit? Probably, but the choice is yours!
