    The Cards have been ordered.

    So, I didn't get the exact cards I was after but good enough i reckon

    I did get quite a funny quote though.

    Business Cards
    85x55mm
    500 copies
    Prints full colour one side
    Mount sheets back to back
    Trim to size and pack
    300GSM Horizon
    Deliver o/night to Manchester

    £665.00

    Price does not include VAT.

    However i didn't feel the need to get back to this company.

    So I spoke to the nice people at SoloPress and managed to get

    1000 Recycled pulp board cards
    350 gsm
    Double sided
    Litho pressed

    and delivered by no later than Wednesday!
    All for the bargain price of £79inc vat and delivery.

    What a steal!

    I hope for your sake it doesn't turn out to be one of those "You get what you paid for" companies, that does seem overly priced for 500 though for sure. I hear Staples also (in some premises) offer printing services.

    I've just used a friend of a friend near me, although for my first 500 I got a deal for trading of services.

    Good luck, and once you get some delivered you should post them up on here :)

    I've heard so many great reviews about them!
    My design tutor, said he took the risk as he needed a 1 day turnaround
    and he said to me,

    "It almost seems too cheap, but iv'e payed double that price and the cards have been naff"

    Says it all really!

    Yeah I'll post them as soon as they come

    check them out
