About 3 years ago, this topic was briefly talked about here:
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=44 However it seems that the problem with VistaPrint has gotten worse and has affected a lot of people. I hadn't heard about this until last night when I was doing some research for postcards I'm getting ready to have printed. For those of you who are not familiar with this, about a month after placing an order with VistaPrint, some customers are finding a recurring monthly charge of $14.95, which is a "membership fee". You are being enrolled in a membership plan that you have to get yourself out of. There is a link below to ConsumerAffairs.com which shows you how many people have been affected by this, with many people not being able to have the membership charges reversed or stopped and having to cancel their cards. Personally I have done business with them and have never had a problem, but seeing all the complaints against them, my future business is going to another company. It's not worth supporting a company that does this and there are just so many other great printing companies out there.

I have had no problems with them and have ordered lots from them. I wonder if their site was hijacked?

I have not had THIS problem with them, but I stopped using them after they charged me for a complete order, sent me a partial order, then did not inform me that I would never get the other part (that they had already charged me for) because they could no longer put the watermark style back on the card for me. When I finally asked them about it, they graciously offered to let me re-order the cards, that were now well behind schedule, at the original price, plus shipping (which would now increase the overall cost). Thanks, but no! GotPrint can thank VistP for at least one new customer!

If a website is "highjacked", you can have it restored within hours. I'm like you, never had a problem with them and it's not everyone having an issue, however the very fact that they are doing this has me running the other way. I didn't have any problems with my last order back in May, but who knows if I'll have a problem with future orders. Not worth the risk. |

I have spent a few thousand dollars with VistaPrint on purchases over the past couple years. I have never had an issue, and I will certainly continue to use them.

They are even cheaper now $47.99 I have been to their office/plant. It is a huge modern looking location located in Burbank. They process over 4000 orders of b-cards a day and over 5000 in postcards a day... WOW!

I order the 250 free premium business cards from vista print when I need them. They are always having specials, so I only ever pay shipping

Vista Print does decent postcards, but there business cards I find are terrible. I ordered 500 cards from them, haven't used one...I complained and got some credit towards postcards...Overnightprints.com is what I have used for business cards.

I have had that $14.95 fee charged to my account. I had to call them to discontinue the membership and was refunded the money 2 weeks later.

I also have not had any problems with vistaprint but I do not use them for my own design work opr that of my design clients. The reaosn is that they can not gaurentee holding the colors as accurately as I need them for my design clients. since that time I have gone with Overnightptints.com and I will use them for everything I do or design.
They have great prices and amazing quality on color and have never not been able to match what I had created on my system. Great customer service and easy usage for uploading. Kyle

I use GotPrint.com and OvernightPrints.com depending on the product - flyers, bus cards, or postcards. But almost always GotPrint for business cards. The thing about GotPrint.com, aside from their service and prices, is the quality of the cards: thick, classy, better than any I've ever gotten elsewhere.

I just tried to use gotprint and they could not send a proof and the proof did not work on the website. I talked with three different people and it sounded as thought they could care less that I didn't use them. Now I am off to overnight prints since that is who the guy that desined my card uses. Thanks Kyle.

I use Vista Print a lot and they have been wonderful. If things are not perfect, I call them up and they reprint for me at no cost.
