I've heard some really bad things about this printing site. This site prints calendars, business cards and photo's among other things. I've heard they secretly sign you up for another company without your knowledge. Have you tried them before?

Hello. No, I have not tried Vistaprint. I have seen their promotional advertisements on the internet about business cards, that they would print business cards free of charge amd that the customer has to pay the shipment charges only. Oh ! I didn't know that they sign me up for another company without my knowledge. Thank you for the warning !

I tried them a couple years ago. I ordered one of the photo calendars for my grandmother for Christmas. I wasn't signed up for anything that I know of. I got plenty of spam e-mails but they were all from Vistaprint and were easy enough to cancel. Just following the link at the end of the e-mail, one click, and I was off the list. The calendar looked good - but I do Walgreens now. It took a lot less time to receive it and I get pretty good discounts there since I get Walgreens e-mails. Vistaprint worked fine for me - but it was two years ago.

You are so right. I order a supposely free calender that ended up costing 16.00 and change. Then about 3 weeks later I see a charge of $14.95 for Vistaprint club that I never joined. I flipped out. I called them and told them I never signed up for any club all I didn was order a calender. All they said was they were sorry and the charge would be reinstated within 3 days. The money was back in my account in 3 days. I will not be ordering from them again.

yea there had been many complaints about this extra mysterious charge in the better business bureau site which eventually led to an investigation that VistaPrint was not able to resolve. yet for some reason that surprised me they got a good rating on the BBB website. Furthermore, there have been lawsuits directed at the company because of the same reason.

VistaPrint offers lots of free stuff but you have to watch it because their shipping is so high that it isn't often free. Plus, last time I saw the back of the free business cards has their advertisment on the back of them for free business cards. That might not be something a professional business person wants on their cards.

I have a friend who ordered from them and got signed up without knowing to some club. They kept charging her and she didn't even notice for awhile until it caused her to be overdrawn one day. She never even remembered anything about a club when she ordered.

I hear there is some kind of offer after you check out and if you click the yes button they automatically use the credit card you used for your order and automatically sign you up for a club and keep charging you. You REALLY have to watch out on that site and other.

hello, when i first heard about them i called them and told them i wanted them to make me some business cards for my business, but i wanted to pay with paypal. he told me paypal was a option and that the link was on the site, i checked but didn't see a link. this was the only problem i seen with them. i ended up ordering some cards with a money order and i got them in about a week and a half. the cards was in great condition. since then i have not heard anything about another company or seen any sign that they gave my information to or signed me up with another program or company. i get about 1 to 3 emails from them a week offering different deals or specials that they are offering. so they seem pretty legit to me, i got what i paid for and was satisfied with the product.

I have used Vista print a couple of times. I received many discounts and free items. My business cards came out good for being basically free and the other items were pretty good as well. I cannot spend alot of business cards so this company works well for me. I just got the basics and it was very affordable. The shipping is a little high and can take 7 days or longer to receive your order via regular shipping, so if you are not in any hurry it is a pretty good deal. I will use Vista print again as needed and would recommend.

I like Vistaprint. I ordered and re-ordered stuff from them and wasn't signed up for anything. You must NOT click on the link after your order is placed. I'm referring to the "save $10 link". Close that window and it won't be an issue. Just print out your receipt then close that window.

Yes, I got emails from them on their specials but you can unsubscribe if you don't want them. Other than that, I find it easy to use, the pricing & quality are decent and they are prompt in order fulfillment.

I keep getting their emails. I keep clicking the "don't send" option but awhile later - they're back again. I acted wise and didn't buy - reading the very small print I realised it would cost several times what my regular high street print shop costs.

Thanks for the confirmation!

I've only used them for business cards...have probably done 9 or 10 orders through them...standard and custom ...and haven't had any problems or been signed up with anyone else, that I know of.


myLot reputation of 81/100. satan88 (1177)   ranked 1,537 out of 19,281 in questions & answers  3 years ago

hmmm seems like there are a lot of mixed reviews for this site. I guess most of the problems hinge on subpar customer service, heavy spamming of emails and obscure vista print and save 10% clubs that charge 20 or so dollars per month. some say it's easy to subscribe some say no so that's unclear for now.

I have used VistaPrint on a few different occasions, and I have never had any trouble with them. I have actually been quite pleased with them. They offer a quality line of products and the prices are good. I have actually recommended them to a few friends, and they have been pleased as well.
