Anyone used VistaPrint?

I was just wondering if anyone has used VIstaPrint for wedding invitations or Save the dates? What are the shipping rates like for Canada? They seem to have some really good sales on and seem like a good option for cost cutting. But I am not sure if the deals are still worth it with the shipping charges are added on.
 
I have heard people rave about the deals they have gotten on other boards, but I think they have all been from the US....

there is a vistaprint in Canada too....vistaprint.ca. I have used them so far for our save the dates (postcards), rsvp cards (post cards), and photoshare cards.  I think the most ive paid for shipping was like $5.  I also plan to use them for our menu and programs.

When its free why not??

I've used vistaprint.ca several times for business cards and was happy with them. I paid about $8 for shipping, but the business cards themselves were 75% off so less than $5. For my wedding, I used one of their free business card templates and paid less than $10 for shipping and tax.

If you get one of their free products, it's well worth the shipping cost, IMO. If what you want isn't "free", sign up for their emails and you'll receive an offer for a heavy discount within a week or two. Just give yourself lots of time as their slowest shipping option really is slow.

I used them for my "save the dates" - they were magnets and turned out really great.  I think I ordered 150 and got them for less than $50 Canadian with shipping, with a coupon.

We used them for our save the dates too.  We did business card sized magnets on a postcard backing.  With shipping I think it came to just under $70 for 150.  We got envelopes included too.  Sign up for an account and wait until they send you an email with a really good offer.  We did the one where you got 50 standard postcards for free (just pay shipping) and 25 magnets for free. 

Also, after you put through your order, they'll have a promo where you can add things to your order for no extra shipping costs.  We did that pretty much each time - the reduced price they gave us on magnets and postcards was cheaper then the shipping on them. 

You can put through multiple purchases in a day to maximize your savings.  When you get a really good promo it doesn't pay to order en masse!

I have not used them but have heard great reviews about them! I kind of wish I had used them for invitations as people are getting their invitations for a really low price!

So I've been browsing around VP since I hear about all these great deals, but I'm confused - when I click on "FREE rubber stamp" it takes me to a page where nothing is free, it's all regular priced stamps.  I tried yesterday and today, and on all the "FREE product" links, but I don't see anything for free - is it me, did I say something??

Maybe they are free with a purchase?

The best thing is to sign up for an account with them.  They'll email you offers and even though they say they expire, they don't always.  I'm pretty sure you need to be logged in to see any discounts.

Thanks for the feedback ladies! I signed up for an account and get the "spam" emails but the deals they have are great so I am just going to wait for the items I want to go on sale to buy them.
