My goal for January was to get the Save the Dates made. While they are technically not yet made, they are out of my hands.

I ended up going for magnets from VistaPrint. I was extremely hesitant to use VistaPrint because there are tons and tons and tons of horrible reviews about them (just do a quick Google search and you’ll see), BUT one of my coworkers has used them a few times and had no complaints or mystery charges on her credit card so I decided to give it a go. Said coworker also hooked me up with an email promotion she had received for free magnets, so that was my starting point.

All I have to say though is that VistaPrint sure works hard to make a buck and does leave a bad taste. For example I was hemming and hawing over whether to order 50 or 100 magnets, it was $8 for 50 and $26 for 100 (which makes no sense whatsoever), in the end because of their funny ’shipping/processing’ charges ($8 for 50, $9 for 100), I got confused and figured I would just get the 100 and have it over and done with. Although now that I’m sitting down and doing the math I see that it would have been cheaper to order 2 sets of 50. Oooops.

To add insult, as soon as my order was sent through (point of no return because they claim the millisecond you hit that button the order is sent to their production system, making changes or cancellations impossible) I got an offer for another 100 magnets for only $13 with no ’shipping’ charges! Makes me wonder if something similar would have happened if I had just ordered 50 to begin with and tacked another 50 on for a discounted price. I could have really saved! I’m already having buyers remorse and haven’t even seen the goods!

Has anyone else had any experiences ordering from VistaPrint?
