Vistaprint?

Calella, 20 April, 2015 at 09:22 Posted on Planning 0 15

Hi!

We're considering doing our STD/Invitations through vistaprint or doing it ourselves to save a bit of cash. I do my business cards with them and they're great, but has anyone seen what their invitations are like? I'm sure they'll be good quality but just curious if anyone has experience with this!

OH is great with graphics so he's going to design it and then we'll get it printed with them (local printers charge through the roof!)

I got an email through this morning saying there's 50% off with the code 50PROMO in case it's of any use to any of you lovely Hitchers!

    **bump**

    Looking at ordering our STDs this week with the discount, so anyone who has experience with this would be appreciated!

    We're going for business card sized magnets, the other option is postcard size and I think that's too big to put on a fridge!

    I'm a freelance graphic designer myself and have tried Vistaprint in the past. Their prices are good but their shipping is very slow unless you want to pay extra for it and I don't personally find their print quality to be that good. I have recently designed some wedding stationery for some relatives and I used Printed.com (I've used them before). Their prices are decent and the print quality is a lot better than Vistaprint in my opinion. Hope that helps!

    Hi Illumine! Thanks for that, I'll check Printed out!

    We aren't sending them out until August so there's no rush on the shipping! Just trying to keep costs down since they're doing this discount!

    My business cards from them are great, but I worry about the quality of other stationary they do.

    We got postcard magnets through them and we're happy. The smaller ones were too small IMO!

    the magnets were slow to be delivered ( exactly as they stated on the order) but bizarrely we ordered our evening invites and they were super quick.

    I upgraded our print to premium for the evening invites and they feel/look top quality to my naive eyes!

    I had save the date magnets from their and the quality was really good. Their customer service is shocking though.

    I ordered them, two weeks later they hadn't arrived. Looked at the tracking, it stated delivered. I had ordered them to my work and I sit right by reception so I knew they hadn't arrived. They were insisting they had been posted through a letterbox. They hadn't as there isn't even a letter box at my work, it is open from 7am-7pm everyday and there is always someone on reception. In the end they agreed to send more out on express to come the next day. They didn't turn up the next day, the courier lost them in Belgium on its way to the UK. The third batch finally arrived. Like I said quality was good but the way customer services were with me has really put me off using them again.

    Did any of you order the business card size magnets? I just thought that postcard size seemed too big... Would it be possible to cut them in half? They seem to be quite thin going on the descriptions on the site!

    They aren't thin but they aren't thick... Sorry not help really. You probably could cut them in half.

    i think it depends how much you want to put on them as to what size you do, we had lots of compliments on ours and see them scattered at their hones- fridge/radiator/oven extractor etc and being a bit bigger makes them stand out.

    Horses for courses and all that though!

    if you want any pics PM me

    We've had all of our stationary from vista print and couldn't be happier with it. We used one of their templates as we're not very arty and it fitted our theme perfectly. I thought the printing was great, quality was lovely (we chose the linen finish) and they arrived when they said they would. I couldn't fault them!

    We ordered our save the dates and have just ordered my invites through vistaprint and haven't had any problems at all. Yes delivery can be a bit slow but the delivery times are stated before you order.

    I just used https://www.instantprint.co.uk for some cards and not only is the quality the best I have ever seen but the prices are really good.
