Vista Print question

Kirstin replied:

Margaret, I use Vista Print all the time and I think the products are brilliant. I generally get it much faster than they say it will arrive and I've always been happy with what I've ordered. Except for that time I did 100 postcards with a spelling mistake on the front!

I have an offer for free magnets plus a heap of other stuff (expires 31 May) I'd be happy to foward to you, I've applied for a connection so we can message each other with email addresses.

Two things to be aware of:

1. there is NO customer service. Unhappy with the products? Made a mistake on your order? Bad luck... they don't reply to emails and they never answer their phone!

2. Although you can get the products for free, they do charge postage. Check this carefully: the more you order, the higher the charge gets. It's still incredibly good value though.

Hi

I have ordered a number of things with Vista print. But you need to take care on a few things.

First of all you don't need a promotion code. That is usually for 2nd and subsequent orders. It is a discount voucher they issue you with after a first order.

They offer a lot of things for free, and it is very easy to get carried away with the ordering, only to realise they slug you big time at the end with their postage fees.

The postage fee is not set, and changes depending upon what you order. So, I trial and juggle things around to see what attracts the cheaper postage at the time. It takes a bit of time, but it is well worth it, as you will still get things very cheaply.

Also, don't get carried away with your ordering, as these specials are constant.  At the moment, I am receiving notification of specials from vistaprint on average every 3 days.

I get e-mails with the specials all the time also and would love to order but guess what????? They only accept Credit Card payments so it makes it very very hard if you don't have a Credit Card.

Thanks for the feedback guys. 

Kristin I have added you as a friend.  I already recieve emails from them but thanks for the offer.  I am trying to order the stamp and the small car door magnet.  I just wasnt sure if they needed a promotion code.  With the postage though do you order it for 21 days or 14.

Cris thanks for that info.  I have just had a look and its rather expensive if you do have more then one item.  But for me to do it separatley the stamp is just as dear.  I get the emails every few days aswell.  They have good deals but yeah I can see why you need to be wary of them.  I only wanted to order today cause they have free image and logo upload today only so its going to save me $7.99. 

candlelover I use a debit credit card otherwise I wouldnt be able to do it either.

Thanks for all your help.

Vista Print in the main have good products. However there was a post on here not so long ago about this car magnet offer and it was mentioned that car magnets can in fact scratch the paint work on your car and that you are better off getting a vinyl one.

If i can find the post i will put the thread up.

Hi me again

Found the thread you may be interested in reading prior to getting one of these car magnets. They had a similar offer awhile back and this thread is what was said about it.
