business cards - where ?

[hookbeak]

I need to get some custom business cards printed, full colour.

Anyone recommend anywhere ?

Vistaprint.co.uk (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://tracker.tradedoubler.com/pan/TrackerServlet?p=888&a=60823&g=19529) are good if you choose their paid for ones (their free ones are ok but limited and basic - but they're free!)

i did try vistaprint, but frankly they wound me up :)

i created some cards and the price was about £18 in my basket, by the time i'd got to the checkout they had added so many "extra charges" they were £50. Also, every time i go to the checkout i get a different price, and 50% of the time it loses all my uploaded images.

So not much confidence in them unfortunately !

Sorry to hear that. Have you tied a search in this forum? I am sure that there were other people asking the same question ;)

I have used them in the past and they are OK and one of the better sites for the customisation options.

hookbeak is correct in saying that little bits get i.e. "extras" - added on to the order bumping up the prices but if you keep a close eye on the total you should be fine. IIRC then it was the shipping options where they made their big prices - i.e. £12.99 for 3 day "rush delivery" !!

In my experience I have found out that signing up for their newsletter ends up getting better discounts.

If you do a incomplete shop and leave it for a day or two. Their site stores these and emails you discounts on your order. For example when I was doing some business cards I ended up getting free "return address" labels.

hope that helps
