Has anybody here used VistaPrint for calendars, cards, photo books etc? If so, how is the quality? Their price seems to be pretty good but I was concerned about the quality. Thanks in advance!

The "scam" comes up at the end of your order (or did, I'm not sure if it does anymore?), and you just need to read the wording and understand whether you need to tick or not to opt out of the scheme.
I send their emails to junk until I'm looking for something and then I unjunk them and look at the offers as sometimes they are pretty good.

I have the artwork (colour), I'd want glossy, but it's essentially white with an image and text.
Nothing on the back.
Perhaps 500 off.
Can anyone recommend? Preferably a small business. Internet not essential.
I use Goodprint. They have a range of "editable" templates or you can upload your own designs. After your first order, you get regular "money off" offers. My last order for 500; which included a special finish, cost £39.55. Excellent quality and dispatched within 24 hrs.I have the artwork (colour), I'd want glossy, but it's essentially white with an image and text.

www.moo.com are always worth checking out if you want a nice matt finish. Excellent quality.

once bitten twice shy, I certainly didnt need to read any wording, it was just click and bham you had signed up even without clicking to do so. If I had done it legitimately, they would not have offered me my money instantly back as a gesture of good will. They knew what they were doing was a scam, there was so many others effected it would suggest it wasnt down to blindly clicking boxes. It simply was a case of confirm order and there you were.I send their emails to junk until I'm looking for something and then I unjunk them and look at the offers as sometimes they are pretty good.
The cards I got were very well made I have to say and very well priced but never again will those conning b
ds get money. There mere fact the scam may no longer be in action is irrelevant, they willingly provided my full card details to a separate company and the only way (as it wasnt a DD) to stop them was to cancle my card.Buyer beware

Yes I use Moo 
glen there was no sign of the scam that stung thousands of people. It took 3 months before all of a sudden 10 quid was being taken from the card, it was only spotted after checking my back statements for something else. It wasnt instant, they knew they were in the wrong as soon as I phoned them up they were tripping over themselves to pay the money back

Yes. What I really want is matt with glossy bits, but I think that's going to be expensive!Thanks for the pointers.
