    I've only ever ordered a calendar (one of the ones you upload photos for) but it came in 4 days instead of the 2-3 weeks they advised. I suppose they quote a longer date to cover their backs, and if they deliver earlier they've exceeded expectations.

    Generally they are pretty good, but the courier service they use is so so. We recieved our WYWO card on a Thursday, called the courier for saturday drop off, which they agreed to. But come saturday, they didnt turn up. We had to call up Vistaprint for them to rush out our order to us. The courier then turned up on Monday....
    You have got plenty of time though :)

    Fairly quick from my experience of playing a couple of orders this year.

    Paid the extra for 'Express 7 day delivery' for our wedding thank you cards and they arrived within 5 days.

    Then placed another order for some magnets, free t-shirt, postcards and a free bag and just chose the '21 day slow delivery' option and they still arrived after 6 days.

    Seems a false economy to pay the extra! :)

    I went for the 21 Days delivery (Slow) option as I had seen a lot of posts by people saying they had got them quicker than that and wanted to save the money. They did however take almost 21 days to come, I came home from work each day hoping they would be there. We didn't actually need them any sooner than that, I was just being impatient wanting to see them!!! :D Ours was a completely custom design though so don't know if that affects it at all.

    ARGGGGH I know im being inpatient and I was saving money by choosing the cheap delivery but I want my blimin vistaprint order now!!!!!!!!!!.
    Tomorrow will be 21 days since I ordered them. Has anyone had them arrive on the 21st day or even beyond that??
    Silly me next time I will choose a faster delivery time, I was all cool and collected when I placed the order.......'oh yeah 21 days thats fine, no hurry for them' . Wont be thinking like that again.lol

    Have you logged into vistaprint and tracked your order?
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire
