Sorry if i'm writing in the wrong forum, but studio gallery are practically handing out these cotton bags, there almost free, the post and packaging is the only thing you pay for, there to advertise businesses but i guess you can tweak it;)

Thanks for posting although I will pm a bg to move this to the low spend board because as you have stated, you have to pay p&p so not a no spend freebie.

I had a look at this but when I got to the checkout it was somehow charging me £10.73.
Any idea where I might have gone wrong?

Tried again - same result, cost of product and then postage on top. Is this a scam to try get people on to their site?

vistaprint has always been the same, they advertise free items and then charge a lot for postage.

Also be warned that they email you ALL the time once you are registered.

For standard postage they charge about £3.50 and over £10 for special.

Also be careful and read the bit at the end with tick boxes CAREFULLY, vistaprint are well known for signing you up to their bonus club where they debit £9.99 a month. I haven't ordered from them before but just be careful ordering as this is where they make their money back.

Watch out for vistaprint, or you end up intheir club, and being charge 9.99 or so per month.

It says you have to pay for postage and processing, so probably its the processing that's so xpensive?
