That is odd Heidi, because when I do a search I still find it for 49 dollars for one sided and 79 for two sided. What do you see with this link ?

I would email them and ask.

[Heidi Maiers]

Rats, why wasn't that there earlier? All that was there was the regular price, so I paid $99 for 1000 one sided. Doubt that they will credit me since I see the order has already been printed.
I wrote to them and asked if they would honor their sales price towards my order and credit my account, so we'll see what kind of response I get.

Looks like they have two sites set up - a regular one and a sale price one. If you just type in overnightprints.com without ever having been there before, you get the regular prices. If you use the link Mary posted, you get the sales price site and it adds a cookie to your machine so that whenever you visit there, your are redirected to the sales price pages. (If you delete your cookies and type in overnightprints.com into your browser again, you will see the regular prices only.)

Too late for me I'm afraid, but if any one else out there wants to order, use the link Mary posted to access the site.

Their customer support team, I'm sorry to report, is less than helpful. I sent two letters yesterday, both which were met with short, canned (but different) responses that didn't even address my questions. Giving them the benefit of the doubt and thinking they just had a poor after-hours support staff, I rephrased my questions and sent another letter which received absolutely no response at all.
Too bad. It doesn't matter how good a company's product is or how fast they deliver - if their customer support is lacking, I won't use them again or recommend them either.

Heidi, I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. I feel responsible!
I don't understand these companies that have different prices for the same products. I was just noticing today that Jerry's online catalog has very different prices for some of their products from the catalog that came in the mail last week. There is $150 difference in a set of their pastels- both their "sale" prices??

For what it's worth, I have spoken with two different people at overnight prints and they were very helpful. I suppose it depends on who you end up with on the other end of the phone unfortunately. Seems this sort of thing is going around after reading Jimmie's experience with Dakota vs. Sharon's.

At any rate, I will reserve judgement on the printer until the postcards come next week. But have to say, the fact that they won't honor the lower price for you when you KNOW that they offer it is a big .

Mary,

Were you able to upload an image(s) and create your own design online?

[Mary Sparrow]

Mike,
Jennifer Geary did my card for me and I uploaded it into their system.

another problem with this company vs. modernpostcard - they won't send a proof first (even at a cost) - which is a problem as far as I am concerned - you really take a chance with the color.
