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.

Balloon 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.

I have used Vista Print in the past too and will again for this new business. The only extra charges have been shipping. I suggest to review carefully prior to submission. I have never had any problems, fast shipping & good quality.

I use VistaPrint constantly for both my business and personal projects. Ordered business cards, brochures, invitations, letterhead, envelopes, etc. I really like the quality of their products. However...as others have stated, you have to be careful during the ordering process. I've gotten into the habit of not ordering anything until I can give it my undivided attention....usually at the end of the day.

Hi

I love VistaPrints. I too use it for everything. It enabled me to get matching labels, business cards, magnets, etc., for next to nothing. One benefit too is that they often give percentages of different products. Like I believe it's Google Adwords or PRWeb. Definitely worth that, you get a coupon you can use.

Agree on the ordering process. You can get signed up for magazines if you aren't careful. It's so worth it to me. I also use them for personal things such as 16th Birthday Party, Christmas cards, etc.

Thanks!
