Default VistaPrint
Hi All,

I am not sure if any of you get free offers from VistaPrints, but I received an email this morning about their Black Friday Sale. I've looked over the items and it's worth a visit to their site just to see if anything the have could benefit your company.

They are giving away business cards, postcards, magnets, tee-shirt, pens and tons more, all you pay for is the S&H.

Thanks!

I use Vista Print..be ware they sneak in some strange charges sometimes. They were charging me a 15.00 a month fee for something I didn't uncheck. They took it off when I called but, made me very cautious. I've only done business cards so far.

I've used them twice, both times they delivered what I wanted. But beware when buying online and always read the fine print. We have the Canadian site here to order from because we pay high fees to bring US goods across the border. Don't get me started.

Shannon, you probably clicked on a promo that automatically adds you to this third party program, http://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/vistaprint.html. There's been a lot of complaints about this apparently as the promo they feature makes it sound like you're getting an additional discount of your purchase, but instead, you're giving this third party permission to take $15/month off your credit card. Not sure if this is still going on, but it was in the news not long ago.

That is interesting. I wondered what was the catch on this 'free' promotion. Read everything when it seems too good to be 'completely' true.

Hello All,
I've used Vista Print in the past and still use them. The quailty is good and I like their products. The items that they say are free, you just pay shipping cost which is fairly decent as well. I've ordered business cards, post cards, rack cards, etc and I love the products. As someone mentioned just make sure you review everything prior to checking out. I would recommend Vista Print to anyone because I have no complaints with their services or products.

Re: VistaPrint
I have used VistaPrint both for my business and for my church. In both instances we have been very satisfied with the products we have received. Most definitely, you have to be careful of the extras that they try to sell you. For what they offer at times you can't bet the price or even the charge for shipping and handling.

I used them for my business cards and did not have any problems.

Same with what everyone else said, verify everything when you checkout to pay for your items.

I have used vista print before for business cards, postcards and car magnets and love them. You do have to verify, but you should always do that anyhow. I did notice that standard shipping got here extremely fast.
