DIY STD thru Vista Print

I have decided to just order the our STD magnets from VistaPrint (rather then the postcards and buying sheets of magnets), because I found a coupon making them half off. I am really worried that they won't print just right. Did anybody have any issues? Is the quality as good as lets say the postcards on a magnet?

Also, did you just place your STD magnet on cardstock? For a Large size magnet from Vistaprint does it require extra postage?

Sorry for so many questions I just tried to come up with any question I might have before I place my order.

(I did use the guide Lines that you can download from their site.) TIA

    I did the small magnets and they turned out fine, not great.  I mean, it was only $17 for 100 so it was about what I expected.  I ended up wishing I had done the postcards instead.  I didn't attach it to cardstock, I just mailed the magnets and it was regular postage, but I did the small ones.  They printed fine, they looked just like my preview, but some of them weren't cut perfectly straight.  I didn't really care though, like I said, for $17 they were fine.

    I did postcards through Vista Print and I was happy with the way they turned out. It was a whopping $20 for 200 of them and they gave us about 25 extra.  They weren't fancy, just very simple with our information on the back of the cards with our names on the front.  Some were printed "off" but that was ok since we had extras.  I personally didn't want to spend alot of money on STD so I feel like I got the quality for what I paid.

    We got postcards from them. They turned out nice, but it was a PAIN to deal with. It took my roommate and I 5 tries to get the image to upload correctly, and there are all sorts of little fees they throw on there--I couldn't even figure out what some were.

     I think I ended up paying $25 for 100, which isn't a bad price, but certainly not the "free" price they were advertising

    My fiance use got print for all his business cards and postcards. They always come out nice and are cheap w/o a coupon. I'm using them for STD's. He likes them b/c they are cheap and don't have any hidden fees.

    My fiance designed and uploaded it to vista print. I used a 100 free coupon and then paid the extra 20 to get 250. I loved the way ours turned out and we didn't have any problems.
