Vistaprint? Not so much

As Christmas was rapidly approaching, I decided to get off my butt and make a calendar of African animals to give out to the family.

With a bit of research (albeit not too much), what appeared to be a reasonable option was Vistaprint (who – as I found out later – have no aussie presence despite the misleading http://www.vistaprint.com.au/ url). I paid the premium to get the 9 days delivery and stumbled across it on the 10th day. The parcel was sitting in the hallway – not outside (or even that close to) my door – so it may have been sitting there for days.

With mild anticipation I opened the parcel and was pretty disapointed with what I found.

1. Many of the corners were curled up

2. The colours were not consistent across copies

3. Nearly 1/2 of them have a stain on the front

See the comparison below:

I know I should have tested out various printers but I really didn’t give myself the time I should have. Maybe Vistaprint was rushing through holiday orders and uncharacteristically dropped the ball, all I know is they quality as bad as this wont be getting my business anymore.
