I agree. Vistaprint has great prices and the quality was perfect.
Turnaround was about 3 days.
I didn't think I would use them, but I also got some of the magnets.
(My customers keep the magnet on there PC's, so it never gets lost).

Interesting. I've used them several times using Visa and never had any of this
shite. I keep it simple and go straight for the bizcards and avoid the rest of
it. Methinks people may well have let their mouse stray onto some gimmick on
the page.

Me thinks not.

They are definitely fraudulently hooking up their customers with the
scumbags. So why anyone would defend them is beyond me.

FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS:

Julie of Chapel Hill NC (11/07/06)
I noticed a charge on my October bank account statement from Passport to
Fun. (I haven't double checked oether statements yet) First of all, I had
never heard of this co. and knew factually that I had not made a debit card
purchase through them. About 3 weeks prior to this, I had ordered brochures
from VistaPrint(charge was shown on my account). I googled Passport to Fun
and found the innumerable articles about this scam.

I called VistaPrint and spoke with a customer service rep there and told him
why I was calling and that I was aware of the numerous scam articles that
are resulting from this very problem. I asked him 3 different times how
Passport received my credit card info if I had not given it to him. I never
got a straight answer - only that if I had signed up for a membership, I
would be charged for it. I asked for written documentation which he couldn't
provide either. He finally told me that I would be credited within 7-10
business days for the amount. I emphatically told him that I would not only
follow up, but asked that he not put me in a position of having to turn this
over for legal assistance.

I called my bank, they were wonderful! They have cancelled my card and are
issuing a new one with a different number. They will be on the lookout for
the credit - even under a different business name. I was also told by the
bank that sometimes charges can come through under different business names
(so change the account #!) I'm really a nice person, but can sure sound
otherwise when I need to get results!!!

VISTA PRINT Why would anyone defend these theifs?

We've been doing it for years for both my wife and myself. Buy Avery
business card stock (or another good brand) and you can get excellent
results. The cards with the microperforations, especially, look very
good and the perforations don't show.

We only need small quantities, so I usually print one or two sheets at a
time. No problem storing them that way, and they are readily at hand.
Hers have a color illustration related to a small business that she has.
Mine use my initials as a logo. Both look very professional. We've
had business cards printed by vendors in the past. The only difference
that we can see is that we were able to get cards printed with slightly
raised lettering when we got them from a print shop. But the cards I
print on my Canon ip5200 are perfectly suitable and adequate for our
needs, and more cost effective.

FFS I'm not defending them, I'm simply stating what I have experienced - and not
experienced - in using their website and services. As always YMMV.

I keep some Avery stock around and print out new cards with a
slightly modified design and logo when I run out.

But I like doing it. Others should devote their time to their
business and not to creating artistic designs.

One thing I'm not clear about is how, mechanically, one prints the cards.
I think some people are saying that one prints out single sheets of paper
(cardboard) that have several business cards on them and separates the
individual cards using, e.g., perforations in sheet. Is that the way it
is always done or is there some kind of adaptor that holds individual
cards which get printed individually?
