I need printed postcards - 01-16-2007, 08:10 AM


So who does your printing for your postcards? I'm getting ready to do a mailout of about 250 and want something nice that I can get back within a week without paying an arm and a leg for shipping
I saw a nice layout on vistaprint but the shipping was more than the cost of the cards
Overnight prints is around 75.00, but I'm curious as to what everyone else uses.....

I just use 4x6 Canon card stock and print out via my printer.
For B. Cards I use Vista.
If I was going to do a bunch of post cards then would prob use Vista.

Millers = MPix (except you don't need a tax ID for MPix)

We've used VistaPrint - they have been fast, cheap, and sent good stuff. I got about 300 oversized postcards for about the same price you mentioned. You want to add /catalog to the home page address to get discounted rates.

I may try vista....I got a discounted web page http://www.vistaprint.com/vip that has a pretty good deal on stuff, but I needed back within the week so I can do my mailout next week (Bridal show contacts) and while the price is excellent for 250 - the shipping to get them back was kinda high I thought.....I'll see what millers has and keep you posted....
