A few weeks ago I received a coupon code from MyPublisher for 10 free holiday cards, so of course I had to give them a try (I just want to add that when MyPublisher says FREE they mean FREE, you don't get charged for any kind of tax or shipping like I find many other companies do). I usually just design my holiday card each year from scratch so I figured I'd use images from past client sessions, after all, they were just for fun/test purposes. There are tons of different card designs to choose from, and each one has it's own charming quality and offers multiple options for photo layouts. The assembly of the card is rather simple, just drag and drop your images and add your family's names and message. Many cards come with pre-made greetings that can not be changed or removed - I do wish that wasn't the case, some of the cards had great designs but the greetings weren't exactly relevant to my needs. After you assemble your card you have the option to add an envelope liner - FOR FREE! These liners are great, simple and come in a variety of colors and patterns - I love them! MyPublisher is great when it comes to giving you the most bang for your buck and the freebies don't stop at the envelope liners - each card comes with a high quality white envelope with the option (again for free) to have your return address printed right on the envelope. Oh, and did I mention that with every holiday card order you receive FREE SHIPPING, a great bonus! My favorite thing about MyPublisher besides their high quality & great customer service is that I find they are the most true to color when it comes to printing (between CVS, Walmart, Snapfish, Shutterfly, & Rite Aid). After 5+ albums I've ordered from them (in multiple formats) I've never had a quality complaint! Theses cards were no exception - the card stock itself is wonderful. The cards are thick, which for me is a big deal - I hate the flimsy photo paper you get at CVS and places like that. You also get the option of either satin, matte or linen for your cards, I prefer the matte finish, it is just a personal preference - all options include sharp vibrant images. When I received my package, and I must say I wasn't expecting speedy service being that I was using a free code and that was certainly not the case, I received my package within a week of placing my order, the packaging was, as always above standard, everything was wrapped up nicely, NO BENT CORNERS! My only complaints/suggestions would be my hope that in the future they offer an option for a "blank"card so those of us who create our cards from scratch can still enjoy the high quality, great price, and wonderful extras. Also, I would like to see in the future there be more of an option for personalization when it comes to greetings on all of the cards, not just some. All in all I'm very pleased with my order and would definitely order from MyPublisher again, and would certainly recommend their card services to others.
