Experience with EditUSA.com for academic copyediting?

Quote
I’m finishing up my master's thesis and my advisor told me my formatting and overall flow need a massive overhaul before I submit the final draft. Writing is definitely not my strong suit, and I really don't want to get flagged for minor grammar mistakes or APA style slip-ups after spending months on this research.
I stumbled across Edit USA while looking for professional editors online. Their setup looks legit, but I always get a bit anxious handing my work over to a service I haven't used before.
If you’ve used them, I’d love to know:
  • How was the turnaround time? Did they hit the deadline?
  • Was the editing actually thorough, or did they just run it through a basic spell-checker?

  • Did they match you with an editor who actually understood your field/subject?
I'm on a pretty tight deadline and a typical grad-student budget, so I really want to make sure it's worth the cash. If you have any other recommendations for solid, reliable academic editors, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
