Back in September I recieved a "free" 250 business card offer through the mail in one of those coupon bundles (200 different store coupons in one big envelope). Being a bit on the cheap side, I decided to give VistaPrint a shot. I was not in a rush for additional cards, but went online and ordered the 250 using the "code" on the coupon. The whole deal wasn't free; if I wanted to keep VistaPrint from printing THEIR business address on the back-side of the card, I had to pay extra. If I wanted heavy card stock (other than regular sheet paper) I had to pay extra. If you want color you pay extra. If you want it shipped to you, it was extra. So the FREE business cards cost $26.13
I received the cards within 7 days and was 'somewhat' pleased. The color was not a deep & rich as I had hoped, but for $20 you get what you pay for.
When I recived my next bank statement, I had $14.95 removed from my account. Called my bank and had them restore the money and reported the fraud attempt. Same thing in October - but replaced my debit card with a new number and PIN - Same thing in November another $14.95; this time the bank is filing a federal banking complaint of some kind against this company.
I'm telling everyone I know to avoid "VistaPrint". Even if they have the lowest bid for large office contracts - can you imagine what they'd do to a large corporation?!
