Not great quality, poor delivery

“Not great quality, poor delivery”

I was tempted by the TV advertising that has recently appeared offering great deals on business cards so decided to try them out with an initial order of 250 cards. I already had a layout which I converted into a format they could use but the method they have on their website for uploading/previewing needs improving as it's a multi-step process & you have to go backwards & forwards to figure out what the end result will look like. Once you have done that bit, then the prices start going up - decent quality card, double-sided printing, etc. etc. All adds up & the eventual cost was just over £20, including their economy delivery price of £3 odd - I could not see how they justify their quicker delivery prices, but then they do come from abroad (Belgium) so that obviously account for some cost.

Once arrived I have to admit I was under-whelmed. The size is not a standard - they are wider and shallower than 'normal' cards, maybe it's a European thing but it looks odd - I checked the sizes against their spec and they were correct, I should have done it before ordering. Then the printing - not great, about on par with an economy inkjet printer, and this was on their superior card which also doesn't say much for their 'standard' offering.

On the whole I cannot recommend them and certainly won't bother using them again.
