Vistaprint Mistake

I had read that the 21-day delivery for Vistaprint had really only taken a week for other people using it to print save the date or wedding invitations. I chose the slow/21-day delivery because the price was more reasonable. Now I'm regretting it. My already month late save the date cards will now be two months late because it's looking like Vista print really is holding on to my order for 21 freaking days. Normally I would have chosen the faster shipping, but I wasn't about to pay $43 for 3 day shipping on an order that cost $46. I wish I had spent more time looking for other printing options, but snapfish wouldn't let me use my own design, and I was in a hurry to get these done since my engagement photos arrived two weeks later than originally promised. Major FAIL on all sides.

After reflecting on my experience with Vistaprint, and reinvestigating what they offer, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Every little thing came with a fee, stuff was added on that I didn't ask for so I had to remove it, I had to triple check that no boxes were automatically checked that could sign me up for crap I didn't want, the shipping fees are RIDICULOUS, and I'm still waiting to see if the end product was even worth all the annoyances.

I'm surprised,
I have used Vistaprint a number of times and every time they got my order right.
But I do agree about all the stuff they keep trying to add on, before or after checkout.
