5What if I don’t like it?

Our services are backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee: If you’re not satisfied with your draft documents, simply cancel prior to mailing for a full refund (excluding rush fees).

6Why are your competitors so expensive?

Many of our competitors process orders a lot like they did before the internet – via fax and Fedex. We’re a digital evaluation company, which means we can process your evaluations far more efficiently, keeping our prices to the lowest possible level. It’s why we’re ranked #1 in speed and #1 in price!

7Shouldn’t I just get a General evaluation – it’s cheaper?

It depends what you need your evaluation for. Generally speaking, employers and immigration services prefer more complete information about your degree, so we recommend a Course by Course evaluation. However, needs vary widely so we always recommend you determine what’s needed before purchasing. For ongoing education applications, a Course by Course evaluation is strongly recommended.
