Well, I am always looking for the deal so will one day check out Printplace, but this is what my last order with Vistaprint looked like:I have to chime in here because I personally feel that vistaprint is way too expensive for their paid work. For the free stuff they are fine but, if you are ordering your own business cards, rack cards or postcards in numbers greater then the free quantity, they are double to triple the cost of some of the other print sites. We have been using printplace and are very happy with the quality. Let me give you some quick numbers.I have a friend in the printing business and his price was way too high and he was "giving me a deal". Vistaprint prices can't be beat! Most printers are used by big companies I believe - not us little peons!Quick question: Why don't you guys use your local printers?.

Business cards
500 4-color both sides
vistaprint : $64.97 plus $6.15 shipping
printplace : $23.00 plus $7.18 (to my location) shipping
Savings of $40.94
Postcards
1000 4-color both sides
vistaprint : $159.98 plus $24.77 shipping
printplace : $71.50 plus $8.32 (to my location) shipping
Savings of $104.93
This is typical of what I have seen with some of the other print sites versus vistaprint. It really pays to shop your job around and price it on several sites. Price your next job on both sites and see what you get.

100 return address labels, 1 small and 1 large car door magnet, 25 business card magnets, 2 t-shirts, 500 (4 color front, 2 color back) business cards - all for $72.25
That $72.25 was with s&h included so maybe I got the deal of the century, but I was happy!
