Default Re: Have you been scammed by VistaPrint?
I ordered my business cards from Vista print. I didn't get the free ones because I didn't like the designs. I had no problems with my order. It's been a few months so I can't recall a stamper during the ordering process. My cards are great.

As for the emails, I think I get about 2 from them each day! Way too much. I ususally just delete them along with rest of whatever I don't want to keep. I will certainly be disabling that feature today!

I have used VistaPrint for my business cards and they turned out to be really good and very reasonably priced. I was advised by a friend to make sure I opted for the higher quality options as they had seen business cards at the lower quality end which they didn't rate too highly. I went for the premium, shimmering cards and was really pleased. I wasn't charged for anything I didn't order.

My only "gripe" is that I uploaded one of their own pictures on to my business card, but when I came to upload the same picture on my website (which I purchased from VistaPrint) the picture was not available, and the pictures available for uploading were very limited. When I enquired about this I received a prompt response, but the response advised me that I would need to contact the companies who they source the pictures from - they gave me the names of the companies but I haven't taken the time to trawl through their images. I guess it is all part of the plan!

I've used vista for years. Never had a problem, and always satisfied with my order.

I agree with the other ladies though, you have to be alert when checking out.

I've received about 10 "FREE STUFF!!" emails from Vista Print in the passed week. it's great the first time because you're thinking - oh great deal. BUT after email number 3 ... it's like ... ok already - so needless to say - I've removed IOS from they're mailing list - I hope.

I used Vista Print for business cards, post cards & note cards and was happy with the product. However, I have since found www.copycraft.com and gotten business cards from them...The quality is better (better face forward for my company) so I will probably go with them in the future. I will check out the magnets at both places before I order them.

I had some personal cards with just my name and address made via Vistaprint's free offer - they were not very good but as they were free I didnt mind so much

I have a print company very close to my home and have made a quick enquiry about price there - expensive but very very good quality.

Being in the UK it is not so easy use the other companies recommended although I may look at Staples as they trade over here.

This is something I need to get up and running soon. I am curious about the car magnets. Maybe I can find a company here that does them, although knowing what the kids are like around here it will probably go missing within hours of putting it on.

I love VistaPrint and all their freebies - I have been dealing with them for several years and have never been disappointed... Yes you have to watch at checkout, but shouldn't we all be doing that whenever we order online from anyone?

My experience with them has been okay however, as JK Virtual Office pointed out, their bottom line is to make money. When I have had questions about an order, they have responded timely and favorably.

Hi, I LOVE VistaPrint! I've used them so often in the past and I've never had a problem, I'm sure when you follow up they'll be more than willing to make it right. Good luck

I've been extremely pleased with VistaPrint. I wouldn't use anyone else for my needs in this venue. I've used them for years. They're always sending me emails for free stuff - awesome!

This would drive me to another vendor, too.

I keep thinking about ordering things from them but I have yet to do it. I think their emails every other day bother me.
