Hi folks. I need 5,000 postcards printed right away for our Christmas open house. We usually deal with Meridian Agency, but I just found out that they are closed until Nov. 1st, which puts us in a bit of a bind time wise.

Does anyone have a printer that can hook us up with a fast job?

Thanks in advance… Tom

Tom, try www.vistaprint.com, I get all my business cards, postcards from them, and I just got an offer I'll e-mail to you, some are transferable. check them out, or call for a fast job. Their work is quality, and you can up-load to their site or choose a design of theirs.

Definitely, Vistaprint.

Download their template (they offer various formats to suit your software), create your print job, upload it, simple as that. You can keep it on their server and get re-runs later on.

Coated stock looks good.

Fast delivery too.

Hey Tom, Check out http://gotprint.net They have the best prices I have seen on the net and a very high quality product. I ordered postcards from them not too long ago, 5,000 color glossy postcards go for around $100 (vs. $300 from Vistaprint)- pretty hard to beat that. Rush delivery is available but its a bit extra. Give em a shout, they are great to deal with....

Ive always had good experiances with vistaprint and then they start sending you coupons for ridiculously cheap printing. My business cards used to cost me about 150 to print up and at vistaprint they were like 5 dollars plus shipping

The cards I had done at Vistaprint bore no resemblance to the Pantone colors I had specced for the piece. Fortunately, my Visa card has my back, and did a chargeback on them when Vista refused to answer emails about it...

There is a company I sent Chris Collins to a while back, he said they did a great job, and were really reasonable. I Just forgot what company it was

Thanks for the help everybody... I definitely have some phone calls to make tomorrow.

I always deal with Paul (Meridian Agency), but unfortunately they are closed until November 1st which is too late to order, receive, and send out the postcards for this event.

Thanks again folks, and I really appreciate the help : )

BTW- Our Christmas open house is Nov. 30th, Dec. 1st & 2nd.

you will defenitely be stoked with the quality of their products, and their prices are unbeatable... if anyone needs business cards, they offer a stock background image with a gather of hot glass...
