Vistaprint is running a special - Anyone need brochures?

Vistaprint is running a special where you can get 25 for free (plus shipping -- about $6.00). I ordered three sets over various times of this special. I hope I am not too late -- today might be the last day they offer it. I already received my first shipment, and I love them! They normally cost like $40.00 for 25!

Just a FYI...I love Vistaprint!

Unfortunately, I am no longer comfortable using Vista Print. I ordered some business cards from them in October. After my order was complete they asked me to fill out a survey. At the end of the survey I got a message "thanks for joining such n such...the credit card you just used will be billed." Of course I immediately called to cancel and was told that I would have to call back in a week because it had to process I called back later and they assured me that I had not, in fact, signed up. Well, just yesterday I noticed that they have been charging me $14.95 a month since November. When I called they offerred to cancel and I had to let them know they will be refunding my money. I am supposed to get it back in 30 days. We will see. I googled the thing I supposedly signed up for and the first few things that came up were other people talking about how they were charged when they were not supposed to be etc. I am pretty upset that Vista Print is allowing this kind of thing. I know many others have been using vista print for a long time with no problems. I just wanted to let everyone know to keep a close eye on their bank/credit card statements. I just remembered the name was Passport to Fun. sorry for the bad news

Me, too! I guess I never click into their surveys or their promotions because I find them annoying.

If you do it right, you can get all kinds of supplies for super cheap.

I got these postcards for free (minus shipping, which isn't a lot) to use kind of as larger business-type cards at doctors' offices:

Here is a copy of my brochure:

My regular business cards I order with them:

I have just been printing my own business cards. The ones I ordered were for my SIL after she graduated from cosmotology school. I think when I design my brochure I will either print it myself or have it done at Kinko's or something like that. There are tons of on-line companies you can order from, though. I don't want to start ordering stuff in bulk until I am sure it is all exactly as I want it. Especially now that I plan on adding CBE etc. I like being able to just print them off as I need them
