This is a great site! I just did a Post Card mailing last month for my Life Event Legal Plans/Identity Theft Shield and they turned out wonderful! All I had to pay for was the envelopes and shipping!!!

Thumbsup Vista Print - business cards, postcards, etc.
Vista Print

Ok.. I know Tess has already mentioned Vista Print, but I can't speak enough about them.. They have free stuff, yes, free stuff.. All you have to pay is shipping..

For us VA's, FREE, is magic to our ears.. I've ordered the business cards, and am about to get the postcards..

My client has bought multiple items, used his own logo, and it turned out awesome.

Highly recommend

Yes, I love Vista Print - although I did have one terrible order experience with them (for some reason the template for the card saved itself 'off center' no matter WHAT I did.
I even called them (I was in India at the time and it was kind of a long call - thanks to Skype it was free though!) and had one of their designer people re-set the template for me (they didn't charge for this) and they sent me a proof via email - yet AGAIN the template was off and looked terrible.

I finally *thought* the order was settled after numerous calls with their customer service people and placed the order (for a client's biz cards).
But alas, when the order arrived it was *still* not right!

Talk about frustrating!
In the end Vista Print did refund the money and I've since not had similar problems...but talk about embarassing...when the client got the cards she was a bit perplexed!

Fortunately I'd relayed the whole story to her so she knew what was up...we got her cards sorted out and for that particular batch printed at Kinko's just to be sure they came out perfect.
I never did figure out what was wrong with Vista Print's template program - but they seem to have fixed the issue.

I also got my business cards through Vistaprint and was very pleased with them. As mentioned above, I only paid for shipping and I didn't mind having their ad on the back of the cards.
