    The site keeps crashing for me whenever I go to register!
    :jLoves freebies! :j
  • Its taken me about an hour to do my card! I was faffing around a bit, but still, every time I came to "preview" my card it came up with a blank screen, and almost every time I went on to a new page it said something about unable to "bootstrap application", whatever that means! Had problems with photos as previously said by others, gave up with the photo cards in the end, too much hassle!
    Clearly there are too many people trying to access the site which is why it must be running so slowly.

    OH says I should't complain as I've gotten a free card out of it (which is a fair point), but if I was using the site for the first time and WASN'T getting it for free...would I carry on? Or go on to a competitors site??

    I ordered yesterday well before the 2pm same day dispatch cut-off and it's still pending. Dissapointed with the service. I need to get the card signed and sent on for a Birthday on the 18th Feb.

    Obviously too late to tell you that you should have just put your own message inside and sent it directly to the person.......but maybe it will help someone else. I know its not the same as a signed card but it might have got there on time.

    I ordered the large size card for my Husband's for Valentine, it is 'nice' but nothing special. I paid the extra which came to £1.80ish including postage. Probably what I would have paid in a shop. The top is scuffed where it didn't cut properly from the guillotine, I should imagine, so I either have to try and stick it down or recut it myself.

    I won't be using this company again, sorry.

    I prefer other companies to be honest. The card town envelopes are really ugly with all that print.
    52% tight
  • Great find. Let's hope it arrives in time for the 14th!
  • thanks but it has been posted, however it is a different link which is why it would not of showed on a search. Will ask Sarah to merge.

  • I registered on the site a few days ago and created an account and added the credit but didn't redeem it. When I came back to order today my account did not exist so I had to re-register and made sure I redeemed the £5 immediately.

    My card arrived today, they ued a 1st class stamp as postag which I thought odd!

    Some deep, short scratches on back of card, envelopes spotless so was their end and not the postal system.

    Quality overall was very good.

    I would rate Card Town above kukkle but below Funky Pigeon.

    Neither company has impressed me enough to switch from my usual which is Funky Pigeon.
