If you think you’re gonna get screwed…. you will
So, I wanted to get business cards for MonoCast to take to the Mono Conference on Monday. So… I looked around and got a refereal from the podcasting underground to use Overnight Prints.
Great I thought… I’m cutting it close. But their site says if I order before 5 pm PST It’ll print “over night” and be shipped the next day. And then I sprung for the insanely over priced next day air. So.. technically I’d get it today. Friday. The last business day I’ll be in town before going to the conference.
I thought… hrmm this is pretty critical. It’d be my luck to get totally screwed here. I need these cards right away and I’m paying a lot for them. Afterwards they’ll be usuless. But hey.. they’re “Overnight Printing” it says so right on their site. What could go wrong?
I think you know where I’m going here…
I get an email notice today that my order is complete and they’ve submitted the billing information to UPS. WTF?! Hasn’t even shipped yet!
So yeah… what more is there to say. Accept… Overnight Printing, isn’t.
Overnight prints is a joke, they really need to change their name because I’ve had a similar experience as well. If you’re interested you should check out PrintsMadeEasy, they actually make good on their shipping times and their designs are better than overnight anyways
PrintPlace.com does really great work. I got 1000 full color biz cards for only $21! And I got to design them myself – I HATE THOSE CHEESY TEMPLATES!!! I say check them out. Bus cards start at $15.50 – not bad at all! And you can pick up if you are in the DFW area – saves shipping.
