BUT, my next set of business cards will be from MOO prints. They are cute, PLUS, I will give them away as a photographers gift if someone buys a ton of stuff from me... My business info is on the back and their kids pic is on the front...tee hee - THEY love passing them on to others with kiddos.

I call them play date cards...
The Vistaprint cards that do not have their advertising on the back are premium cards...these are the cards you get free offers for all the time. The free offers are for basic, front-print cards only, but you can add upgrades for the regular prices.

My experience has been in the US, so no international shipping to hold things up. Sorry you have had a bad experience.

I avoid Vistaprint for one simple reason. They're constantly spamming me. I've had no business with them ever, these are 100% unsolicited offers. My past experiences with companies who have done this have all been negative, I have no reason to think that Vistaprint will be any different.

My last order of cards were from a local printer. They were decent, but not great. My next order will probably be from moo.

I've used both vistaprint and Moo in the past, and been happy with both.

I got the paid version with vistaprint and uploaded my own design. They arrived here in Aus quickly and although on the light side are perfectly fine and good value.

The MOO cards are more expensive but are a big leap up in quality; they are really nice, people comment on them. If you want to make an impression that says quality, go for these. Being able to use many different images is also unusual and again attracts attention; they are great little marketing cards!

They are constantly running specials and I got two sets of 5000 cards for $40 each set. Full color, front & back. Thick, impressive looking cards.

Hi Alex, good to see another Tasmanian on the board

If you (or anyone else) ever need new cards, check out martinprint in WA, they've got some great quality cards starting at $60 for 500. I've been using them for over 5 years now, every order bar 1 has arrived within 3 days!

Has anyone ordered the "green cards" that MOO offers? I'd love love love to order these things but don't want to compromise on quality...Go Green (hopefully with the same quality as the "classic" cards)!!!
