Overall Rating


(1 -€“ 5 penguins) BUYER BE WARE

Name of company or service provider.

VistaPrint

Category > Printing services.

Description of Product type or service.

This companies buisness is riping people off.

Rate the policy or agreement based on fairness and how much they trust the customer (1-5 penguins) And post a link to the current agreement at that time and date in a saved .pdf file that is on a private page or server so that it can't be altered by the company. Provide a link to their current agreement.

If they have any policies or agreements they are very vague.

User Reviews. if you can find them on line or reviews by other sites. (average their ratings and boil them all down into one 1 - 5 rating.

I was just about to purchase this product when I read this web site and found out that many people had been taken by this company. It's very tempting to get the free stamp, business cards, and sticky notes with your company info on them but It's not worth credit card fraud. Trust me I've been threw it before.

Product or service quality, value, Bang per buck ratio.

These free products with the adds for their site are not worth it because they will bite you in the end.

Similar products or services from other companies.

I've used Walter Drake before and they do a fine job of making standard black and white business cards.

Shipping rates, handling, and do they offer USPS, UPS, FEDEX or what? Do the items arrive broken? How long does it take for them to ship them out.

The shipping rates are even more outrageous than the review says they are on the web site linked to above because they charge $7.00+ to ship items that they are giving you free.

Payment Methods. I.E. PayPal, credit card, google checkout, Direct deposit, etc.

They don't use any verified method of payment.

Any personal experiences.

Not yet but I hope I never will.

Would the average consumer expect to have any of the problems mentioned here on a regular basis or is this something that they would have to be a customer for a long time before they experienced?

Yes from what I'm reading this company has these issues on a regular basis.

Does this company outsource? If so how much is outsourced?

Who knows.

Does the company say one thing and do another? Do their policies agree with what they say?

Yes they say they will charge you shipping and give you free items and end up charging you more later down the road.

Do they lye, Cheat, steal.

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Warranty, return policy, RMA time. etc.

N/A

If you buy their product or service for a small fee do you end up paying more in the end?

YES

Linux Compatibility

N/A but with a name like VistaPrint would you trust them?
