Forgive my cynicism, but as a design/print business - how come you don't have a website? Not Print Carrier in disguise by any chance?

No, I only joined your forum today, hence the lack of personal details. Have not yet found a spare moment to update my page but hopefully shall find time later today

I have just googled Printcarrier and read lots of bad reviews. Even though I don't like to admit it for fear of being slated I have to agree with KRB, (website? would you like one? lol) and say that I haven't had any issues. I take the prices and times them by three and get the stuff shipped straight to the customer. I don't do an awful lot of printing, it's mainly design, but PC sure made my home printer gather some dust over the years!

Pete,

I'm just starting out at the moment and am looking to build a site for myself. Any advice would be appreciated, feel free to contact me at krb_design@hotmail.com.
Would be interested to know about your previous experiences using Printcarrier as their reseller package sounds pretty good to me and is something I'm looking at possibly doing in the future?

Regards,

Kev

Really Pete, that's seems like a massive markup there!

Sorry to hear about your problems with PrintCarrier guys , I did ask for some samples from them a year or so ago and they didn't look great, so if the actual samples they send out to potential customers didn't look good then there is something wrong.

I like to be able to discuss jobs with my printers especially if they are bespoke/special one off jobs that involve diecutting etc etc. Best to test them with a small job if unsure as well, also trust your gut if you think there might be problems then there probably will be!

It's really is worth building up a relationship with some good printers that offer good value, attention to detail and above all a great product and there are definately a couple on here that do that...I think you know the ones I'm talking about!

If you want a challenge with Print Carrier - try and get removed from their email list.

The worst print company in the printing industry do not even honour unsubscribes.

They are a disgrace.
