Richard and Alex Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thought I would put this post on both the hotels and B&B forums.Is anyone else experiencing the same problems as us?We saw an advert by the publishers of a "certain" english language newpaper based in the Dordogne for full colour postcards. Thought the price was good and perhaps postcards might be slightly different to the usual leaflets so put an order in. This was in Feb and we were told they would be ready by easter - great, just in time for the hordes of tourists visiting the local tourist office.Well into May now and not a "sausage". Every time we ask they say they just have a few more to order and then its full steam ahead. Being eternal optimists we reckon we have lost some good business because of the delay.Anyone care to band together to get a response or is it just us waiting?

Owens88 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Presumably you paid by credit card and asked for a 'delivery by 'date? If so, cancel and go elsewhere. Vistaprint and pixmania offer on-line services and rapid turnaround. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard and Alex Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 We have only paid a deposit (by cheque) and we did ask for them to be ready for easter. Too trustworthy probably!Yep we have used vistaprint for business cards and will have a look at the postcards.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlic Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 What about using a local printer? You can download plenty of postcard templates free online. I've just used my local printer and am really pleased with the service and I think it's good that he's local the turnaround time was very quick..
