I am a big fan of VistaPrint. While I’ve had some color matching and bleed issues, I’ve found them very easy to use. Have you ever used VistaPrint and how do they compare to Uprinting?

[...] that U Printing sometimes gives you free cards if you are awesome and popular and you give them a decent review. While we are awesome we are not so popular right now so like chump we had to pay and pay we did. [...]

@Sam – Thanks – glad you like the post! It was a great surprise to be contacted by Uprinting. Definitely a great opportunity that I’m very glad for!

@Herne – All great questions! I don’t have all the answers, so I mentioned your comment to the Uprinting representative I’ve been speaking with. They will be contacting you with further details (I’m not sure yet if it will be via email or through the comments here – I’ll send you a message if it’s a response right on the blog).

As for the service, I’m fairly certain it is standard good service regardless if you’re a paid customer or not. The rounded corners weren’t readily available on the site (I had to request them) so that might be additional. My previous batch of cards with another company charged extra for the rounded corners (but it was very small – again a different company, but if I remember correctly it was $2.00 per 100 cards).

For business cards, Uprinting had options of 250, 500, then up in increments of 1000. It’s good that they also will do custom sizes, which not everyone offers.

Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful questions – they will be contacting you with more info (better answers than what I could provide myself)!

@Arron – Thank you so much! I’m glad you like my cards! I toiled over the design quite a bit (ask any of my followers on Twitter at the time, LOL). I think you will be happy with Uprinting if you end up working with them!

My question would be, did you get better service because you were doing a review or is this the standard service? Is there an additional fee for round corners? Are they willing to do custom die cuts? Do they print on other types of stock, such as clear mylar? Do they do short runs? These are the sorts of questions I always asked. I wanted to get some postcards done once of some photographs I took while in the UK but I was only able to find places that would print a run of 1000. Now, I don't need 1000 postcards of the same image so I wanted to do 1000 cards of say 10 images, or 100 cards x 10 images but nobody was interested, at least not at the sort of prices I was willing to spend. Another problem is that I live in Canada and 98% of these sorts of companies are located in the USA. So this brings up all sorts of problems with excessive shipping costs and duties.
