Vista Print Question....

[Dani]

Ok, I have never used Vista print or heard of it until I started here on OW. I know, I am out of it! Anyways, I know many of you have used it. My question is, what did you think of what you selected? What the quality there? What was the turn around time from when you ordered it till when you received it?

Thanks!

I am ALREADY thinking of Christmas cards, and I like that you can put multiple photos on the photo cards. :)

I ordered a calendar. The quality of the calendar itself was alright. I definitely wouldn't pay the full price for it, but their stuff is always free plus the cost of shipping. I could have gotten better quality if I'd picked the higher paper quality, I think. But, it was cool, and it was exactly as I designed it on the website.

The over all ordering process was excellent, and I got the calendar quite a bit sooner than I had expected. I used the slowest shipping, and got it in about 4 or 5 days, instead of 21. I'm thinking about ordering save the dates from VP. Those I think I'd do in the faster shipping just so I'd know I got them ASAP, which is probably when we're going to need them when we do get around to ordering them.

If I were you, I'd definitely order Christmas cards from them, especially if you like their options for creating them.

I LOVE Vista Print. Like Heather said, they always have their stuff for free, and when you register with them and sign up for their promo emails, you get coupons for discounts on their full priced items too. As for their quality; of the things I have ordered, the wuality has been amazing. I've ordered business cards (more than once), postcards and my invites, and I was always very impressed with the items. Shippins is awesome too; they always over estimate the time; I've only ever paid for the slowest shipping, and have never waited more than a week and a half.

I ordered a few things from there. I got my Save The Dates and I ordered pens and pads of paper with my MOH and Bridesmaids names on them. I was really hapy with the products and the pens and pads of paper were free - can't beat that!

I'm borderline on Vista Print. I hate their marketing schemes, and hate the differences in pricing depending upon coupons or whatever. Definitely never pay full price from them. There are free shipping, 50% off items, free items, etc. I think the quality is low-budget. I've gotten return address labels (these were better quality than some of the other items), a window sticker (free), sticky notes (free), and save the date magnets (cheap, uneven edges, and colors were off, but will do the job).

For postcards, I'd suggest Zazzle, although I haven't used Vista Print for them ever. Zazzle quality was amazing, and the colors were very true to what I saw on the screen. Zazzle will also let you order an exact number of postcards or other items instead of rounding up and having extras.

Vista Print shipping can be slow--their budget or free shipping can be as long as 21 days, although all of my orders took less than 2 weeks. They ship things separately for whatever reason, so that can be annoying.

I use them all the time for my business cards, hats, tee shirts, car magnets.

It takes about 2 weeks to get the stuff and the quality is great! Its a great company!

If you look around you can find coupons. I got about 750 business cards for 9 bucks and a free hat and 2 large car magnets for 11 bucks.

I think that Vava (EarlyBird) is Vistaprints biggest fan! You should PM her for how much she loves them. She has ordered A LOT form them and ahs always had great results.

I have ordered business cards from them and they look great!

I just used them to order our save the dates. We haven't received them yet and I used the slowest shipping but have been assured that it won't take the 21 days. The site was really easy to use and I'll let you know what I think when we receive the cards (we did postcards).

I got STD postcards from there and they were fantastic. I'm signed up with them and I get emails ALL the time where like half their stuff is free. My postcards were free and they waived the fee for uploading my own pic, so all I paid for 100 of them was less than 7 dollars shipping. I requested the longest shipping option (something like 3 weeks) and had them in less than a week. I'll be using them again in the future, definitely!

I've used them from time to time for promotional materials, business cards and postcards and such. Their quality isn't horrible, given that they do bulk printing. Occasionally, their cuts will be off the mark. I do have to say that the few times they've really screwed up an order, they've made it good.

You can do a search around the net and find links that will give you quite a bit off as well. Overall, they're not too bad.

I have used them several times before to order business cards, signs, magnets, etc. I think that their prices are reasonable and they have always been quick to process my orders and I've been happy with the quality of their products.

I ordered a couple of business cards with a gloss/metallic print butterfly on the front. They looked really nice and high quality, no one knew they were from vista print, cuz it doesn't get the logo on the back if you pay for it, (it was $15 because of the glossy butterfly). All in all I like em, they just took too long to receive. I also got some magnets for my car, but those didnt last long at all, the colors went blahhhh after 2 months, then it started to peel. But theyre o.k i guess. Not much to lose
