New Postcard Order Arrives!
Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 10:57AM ;)
UPS delivered my new marketing postcard yesterday afternoon! I'm very happy with the result.
In the past, I've used other online printing services that allow you to buy extremely small quantities for absurdly low prices. I won't name them, but you know who they are. THe quality was always less than stellar and I'd get the occasional badly trimmed or shifted print results. On top of that, if you didn't pay attention to your order, you would end up with the company's logo on the back side of your postcards.
This is the first time I used the services of GotPrint for my printing needs and I'm impressed. The pricing is nice, the color is on the mark and the card stock is nice. I decided to try out their rounded-corner option.
I placed my order on the evening of Saturday, July 10 and I received an email on July 15 letting me know that my order had been shipped. So basically, it took them less than 3 business days to process, prep and ship my order. Not too shabby. However, since I didn't splurge on shipping, I didn't receive my postcards until Wednesday, July 22. Still, not bad.
Overall, I'm very impresses with the quality and I'll definitely be using GotPrint in the future.
Off to the post office!

I don't know if this is still valid, but I was told the USPS won't ship round-corner postcards as postcards, that you need to envelope them. Is that still holding true these days? Everyone seems to OFFER round corners, so I wasn't sure.
Also, are these 6x8 or 4x6? The image comes across very nicely, whichever size they are.
Evan,
The size is 5x7. It's a decent size without being too big.
I took the cards to the post office this morning and the woman at the counter said nothing about the corners when I handed them over. I guess I'll have to wait and see if there's an issue. I did have to use regular postage because they are larger than the generic postcard dimensions.
