vistaprint for me is a waste of space...
if your going to be getting a lot of printed materials try:
they are both trade/wholesale orientated but you wont beat them for customer service, turnaround, quality of products and pricing if you can open an account with them... they both off excellent finishing features, including spot gloss, and metallic finishes
there is also
there like 2 or 3 times more expensive over these guys, quality control is questionable...

seriously if you think vistaprint quality is good you will be freaking knocked out by what the other guys i mentioned can do
part of my business used to revolve around print/marketing before i forked the company and concentrated on internet marketing/seo and have tried and tested 10s if not 100 different print companies finding most use the same printers... finding out who the middle man is and cutting them out is the hardest part as well as the crap from the good hence why i mention those guys in my original post...
however vistaprint may have upgraded their quality/support in the past 18 months or outsource everything to the guys i mentioned... either way it would have to be a ten fold improvement from my past experience for me to ever use them or recommend them again...

I can vouch for overnight prints. I've used some joe blow places in the past before switching to them. I'll never use anyone else. I have had a couple of flakey jobs from them. A quick phone call to them and they reprinted and overnighted them to me (even though the original order wasn't overnight) no questions asked.

Don't know where in the world they deliver but the German company called print24.com is highly recommended by me, they have 24hour printing / delivery to UK and their prices are very reasonable. If you are buying something by the k or more you will be happy.
Quality is as good as you could expect from a professional printer.
P.S they have a great quoting system whereby you can get an instant quote without giving any personal details or anything like that so you know exactly how much you are paying including VAT and delivery and exactly the quality print / paper etc. I use them for all of my printing as they are quick, cheap and high quality.

if you are ordering regularly business cards then you will soon find
to be very expensive
compare:
$50 + shipping for 15pt 4/4 business cards w/gloss from overnightprints
$24 + free shipping for 16pt 4/4 business cards w/gloss from 4over
if your doing really high volume like we where at the time - you would look at getting platinum membership access and you would then be getting the same cards for $17 + free shipping
if your reselling business cards like we used too then you can see why you would use 4over compared to anyone else
hope that helps
thanks

Finally a question I have an answer to
I am in the wide-format printing business (car wraps, wallpaper, etc...) also I sell stickers and decals as well. When I outsource I use 4over4.com.
I've never used vistaprint because I resell and there isn't enough profit using them. I have used 4over, and I can vouch for Versa in Dallas. I choose 4over4.com over Versa unless I need it in my hand within a few hours.
