2 months ago from Vistaprint I ordered 1,500 business cards.
The first thing I did was use the creation tool on their website to create the cards. This was easy to do. The cards look really good and are unique.
When I received the cards the colors for the logo was not as bright as I thought but then I realized that I have my monitor brightness turned up really high on my monitor when I created the cards online. The colors are close enough to what I want though and I was pleased enough.
Last month, almost 4 weeks after my order I realized I had made a mistake on the cards. I called Vistaprint and talked to customer service. I explained my mistake. They where very understanding and re-ordered the cards for me at no cost!!!
What a great company. I was not expecting that, I was hoping for just a discount on the next order. The sales rep was very pleasant on the phone and patient. I defiantly recommend this company.
Pros
Understanding customer service
Cons
Be careful of your color choices and your monitor settings
I ordered a bunch of colour double sided business cards from one of the styles VistaPrint offers. The style didn't quit match what I was looking for but it was close enough. Using the built in editor it was easy enough to add in my business name, logo, phone numbers and other details.
The order came quicker than I was initially notified via email about and it was easy to track the package through Canada Post. The quality of the cardboard used for the cards and the printing is really good with no imperfections that I could see from my untrained eye (I am in property management).
I ordered a couple of mugs and a poster from Vistaprint for the office. I can't believe the amount of customization that is possible with both products. It really is only limited to your imagination. It's easy to add your own design and upload your graphics and I got my shipment in plenty of time.
Last Christmas I decided to personalize my gifts a bit. I had used Visa Print at works and had seen all of the different items they sell. I thought some of them would make great Christmas gifts for the family if I added a few pictures to them.
I created some:
X-mas cards
Family calendars. Everyone got one. It had pictures of our family cabin trip we all take every summer. Much Fun.
T-shirts for my sisters kids. These turned out really cute!
A few mugs. For my parents. I included pictures of their grand kids (my sisters)
Phone case. This was for me and had a cute picture of my dog :-)
Delivery took a bit longer than I thought at almost 2 weeks. There was a lot of stuff and Vista Print waited until the full order was completed before sending. That was fine though as I had ordered right at the beginning of December so I still had enough time to get things wrapped.
It wasn't that expensive either. I saved money this way when compared to what I would have spent at the mall on everyone. It took me longer though personalizing everything. I pretty much spent a full day organizing my photos and figuring out what pictures and text I wanted on each item. I then also had to design everything. The calendar wasn't bad but the T-shirts and mugs took a while. I redid them a few times as it took me a little bit to learn how to use the Vista Print website. There are a lot of options on how to place your photos and the color, size, and fonts for text.
On Christmas I could tell it was well worth the effort. My family loved their gifts. This is something I plan to do again as you get much more enjoyment out of seeing them with a gift I sort of made compared to something store bought.
Pros
Lots of gifts you can personalize. Website is easy to use and create with.
Had a great experience with Vistaprint. I ordered some brochures and magnets for my business. Magnets were easy but the brochures I wanted was a little more complex with the different titles and images. After spending a couple hours on it and not getting 100% the way I wanted I called up customer service. They helped me out and within 20 minutes I had everything the way I wanted. I received my order within a week and everything was as it looked online.
Couldn't be happier and I plan on using them again for any future printing projects I have.
