You can pay extra and have nothing on the back, also if you design your cards then exit before you have ordered them you get a pop up telling you that if you complete your order you get a extra 20%off

i use the service...first class! ;)




one on the left is what you get on the back, if you have the free version, on the right is one of the many templates they have

an interesting range of products but to have a blank back to the card it will cost you £6.99, which is kinda costly and the packaging and postal costs of having the reduced price labels is nearly £4.50 and these prices are ex VAT.

I have ordered some but I will look very closely at the reorder price

Good Topic Brett,

I have just odered 500 cards alltogether for a total cost of £6.11.

Clicked on slow delivery, 21 days, I will see what the quality is like when delivered.

If its good and I'm happy I noticed you could order 5000 cards for under £50.00. Which works out about 1p a card. Signed up for free for 30 days so I could get the £10.00 voucher with the view of useing it if I order 5000 cards.

Regards Nel.

Chris,
you just keep ordering the 250 for under £4.00
I have done about 5-6 lots for different ads.
The TINY line on the back is really irrelevant...

Just done some sums.

The chaepest option is to buy the cards.

Yes thats True folks, It works out cheaper then 250 Free cards.

250 Free cards = £3.62 Delivered = £3.62 divide by 250 =0.01448
500         cards = £6.11 Delivered = £6.11 divide by 500 =0.01222
5000       cards =£60.71 Delivered= £60.71 divide by 5000=0.012142

It may only be fractions, But thier you have it, cheaper to buy 5000 cards, you will also get no printing on the back unless you want to put something on yourself.

I got the Total price of £60.71 by clicking the red cross in the top right corner before I entered my credit card details. You then get the pop up screen which offers you 20% off. Click on it and it takes you back with the 20% off your order. It does not take 20% off P&P though.

So the cheapest option is to buy 5000 cards, The cards eith the sea on look quite good.I will wait untill mine arrive, if they are good I will order 5000.

I dont know how they compare with anyone elses prices though.

Nel.

Both sets of Business Cards and labels arrived this morning and the the money they are most definately worth it.  They do say 'business cards are free at....'  on the reverse but hey for £3+ I dont care.

Will be laminating some for Commercial Clients to keep.

Came from Belgium so delivery not bad either.

Thanks Brett - a good thread. Consider  your return favour completed  ;)

I originaly had the free card offer but paid extra for the Gloss Finish version which are superb. I have now reordered from an offer where the gloss is now free - thats a good value product.   :) :)

re above post as they are gloss cards you may not need to laminate them for your customers - just a thought  :) :)

Mine came through Yesterday.

I orderd 500 for the grand total of £6.11 and I am very impressed.

I got the ones with the water effect on. It impressed me so much I went to the chaps who are going to sign write my van and told them to forget my original idea and we are coming up with something new.

I was going to order another 5000 today but on seeing that the Gloss finnish is Free I am just trying to decide Matt or Gloss.

I have been using vistaprint for ages and despite my initial sceptisim about quality(which was wrong) they are great. You can upload your own design.

have used them for quite a while, sorry, didnt think to share the idea :(
if you use them a few times they start sending you offers, ive just taken delivery of 500 cards with details of gutter cleaning and pressure washing i do on the reverse. they no longer have their advertisment on the back and they only cost me just under 20 quid. tried to take a picture of them to show you guys but the quality was pants.
go to the professional business card section and the design options are endless, you can print more on the reverse and im well impressed with them.
allready did a gutter clean and a pressure washing job as a result last monday for £200 so id say they still were free ;D
