Working on my business Card C&C

[inaka]

The ideal format for a bilingual business card is to have it be two-sided.
One side completely in English, the other side in your target language, etc.
Then you present it target-side up when necessary, etc.

I just ordered my business cards. I went through Vistaprint because they had a daily deal $10 for $50 and I bought it.

Anyway I had the whole thing done, shopping cart added, I could get like 1000 on good glossy paper with one week shipping for my $50 or something stupid like that. Then I went to check out and there wasn't anywhere to put the gift code in. I went and reread the coupon and I had to go to a specific part of the Vistaprint web site to put in my card code. I did, and suddenly all the prices went up. Now I could only get 500 on glossy paper for $50 + $6 for 3 week shipping. I feel like I got screwed. Needless to say, I used my giftcard but I won't be going back to them. That's just duurty.

I hate vista print for those exact same reasons.
They lure you in with low prices and then you realize the stock is bad or it'll take about a month to arrive.
I highly recommend Psprint.com

And I highly recommend www.overnightprints.com because of their reasonable pricing, quick service and nice thick card stock.

Currently their pricing is $34 for 1000 of their offset print (premium) cards.

Doesn't that take about a month to arrive? That's crazy to me.


That's why I always use PSPrint. Even their economy turnaround takes a max of 5 business days + ground ship. They also ship out of both sides of the coast, so ground shipping is 1-2 day to many many spots.

I use overnightprints too. KmH suggested it me long time ago. I love it. Going to order 1000 double sided tonight.

Have you ever ordered from them?

No, I get them in 5 days. Besides, I always reorder before I am out, so the shipping time really only mattered on the first order, right?.

No one, and I mean no one, matches the thickness of their card stock for the price. When you hand someone a card made by OverNightPrints.com it has heft and strength, nice qualities to convey about your business.

It says right there on the site for overnightprints.com, the economy pricing you listed "ships in less than 3 weeks".

I just went through the process of ordering the cheapest set of 1,000 "premium" cards from www.overnightprints.com, and the cost is:
1,000 - Premium cards (sale price) $27.65
Shipping & Handling $7.75 + $2.51 sales tax
= $37.91 cheapest possible.

Delivery time: receive no later than>> April 12th.

Good price, bad turnaround.

Then pay for higher shipping??

 

[inaka]

Then pay for higher shipping??

$34 for 1000 is fine if you're willing to wait a month. That's my point.
You're not going to get them in five days at that cost like the previous poster said.

Just sayin..

 

[KmH]

no later than

It is smart of them to quote worst case.

If you're not married to that logo, I would consider revisiting it. Tribal is rather "out" for lack of a better word, and it will make your cards and everything that they stand for a bit dated.
