Apart from Vistaprint where else for promo material

MrsR · **Apart from Vistaprint where else for promo material -** 01-03-08, 02:37 PM

I have used Vista Print in the past but is there anywhere else people use for business cards, postcards, flyers, etc - all promotional material?

I always use either printsmadeeasy.com or 123print.com. They have a good designs for a salon or spa. Hope that helps!

I tend to use my local small printers as they tend to be quite reasonable on price and I like the personal touch.

Plus I feel like i'm keeping the small businesses going, which is always good.

I do soooo well with Vistaprint. When not busy I go on the site and create a few templates, business cards, promo postcards, flyers etc, (Mothers Day in advance etc) then when they email with a special offer I go online, order something I need, say 250 brochures but also get 100 business cards, 100 postcards etc FREE in the same mailing! Work it to your advantage!

Hi guys!!!

Just wanted to let you know that both myself and two other friends i know that have used Vista Print for so called FREE business cards were being charged £9.99 a month which only started being taken from our accounts 6 or more months after we had first got the cards

I only noticed after my boyfriend showed me our joint account statement!

I have to say i was completely gobsmacked as i had never signed up for anything or had any info off them that they were taking the money

I emailed them 3 times asking for a refund and an explanation as to why they took the money AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FORM THE ROBBING B*****DS.

Right now ive got that off my chest lol!!!!!

So PLEASE be warey and check your statements!!

Thanks xxxxxx

hippy-chick · 10-03-08, 10:18 PM

cherrysoda, this happened to me too! for a year!
I got a full refund.
don't bother ringing them, just email them and you dicate WHEN THEY ANSWER YOU ie, give them a time limit to answer you.

I got citizens advice and a online advisory site involved and also talked to my bank.

I then told vp rewards that I had been in contact with the above and would be proceeding with legal action and after about 5 emails I got a full refund.

I STILL order from vista print but I as extremely careful about what buttons I press.

go for it, you will succeed!

Guess that's how they can afford to do all those 'freebies'
