I think I'm going to order from Minted, but hate how expensive they are, but love the idea of them addressing the envelopes for me. I wish they had a better coupon then 25% off.
I might have a better coupon that you can use. They mailed one to me -- I'll check when I get home.
vtdiamond, I was wrong, sorry. The coupon they mailed to me is for 25% off, too, and I'm pretty sure they don't allow stacking.

I used Vistaprint this year, after Tiny Prints/Shutterfly didn't have the layout that I wanted, and I hated that all of the flat style cards had "Tiny Prints" on the back, where I wanted to write a note. VistaPrint is mostly for businesses, but they had some nice layouts for Holiday cards. I got matte 5x7 linen paper flat cards for $0.75 each, all in (was more like a 1.20 on Tiny Prints. They haven't come yet, but I have done promotional cards from them for volunteer stuff, and they were good, so I am hopeful. As a bonus, since I had to pay shipping anyway, I added t-shirts for each kid, with one of our dogs faces on each of them.
I work for one of the holiday card companies and I’m glad to see my company is getting good reviews here. We’re not perfect but we work hard to treat our customers right.

Do you work for photo affections? Because this is my second year using them and I absolutely LOVE them. The cards were packaged with so much care. I got an email thanking me for ordering. I feel like they are the best kept secret
I used to do Minted, which is $$, but they are sooo nice, AND they address them for you.
Last year, my graphic designer friend designed one for us and I printed it on Zazzle. Not as nice, but not bad at all.
This year I did Tinyprint, which was not much cheaper than Minted because I actually liked their designs better. I just ordered them last weekend and they’re already here, and I’m very happy with them.
Well, I received my cards today and they were printed off-center, both horizontally and vertically, and not by the same ratios. Not a huge deal, of course, until the customer service rep said "I can give you credit but you'll have to pay tax and shipping if you want to reorder." WHAT, no. She suggested that I approved it like that. There is absolutely no way to move design elements on Shutterfly and the online proof is centered so not really sure what exactly she thought I did. Finally got that ironed out when she transferred me to a manager and they called me, so new cards are on their way. Plenty of time before Christmas so not a huge deal, just want cards that don't make your eyes cross.
The silver lining is that I ordered pre-addressed fancy envelopes and they have no way of separating that out from the cards in the order so they are sending me duplicate envelopes. At least I won't have to buy those next year!

I’m glad they eventually made it right but I’m sos uproars you had such a negative experience. The one time I had an issue with a Shutterfly order - which wasn’t even their fault - it was a fed ex issue which I knew and acknowledged- they really bent over backwards making it right.

Thanks, I was more taken aback because I just assumed they'd send me a reprint, no big deal. And it really wasn't, I just think the chat agent could not understand what the problem was. She kept saying things about me just not liking the card. I think she thought I hadn't centered the picture and no amount of explaining that it was the entire design (which is a big centered rectangle) could get through to her. I honestly thought I was talking to a computer or something because her replies were so nonsensical.
