It's my blog, and I'll moan if I want to! (and swear- consider yourself warned)

So here is my story. My Moo cards are running out, so I decided to order some more. Went thru the whole laborious task of uploading and cropping new pics (because I wanted to change them), did all the bits and pieces I had to do, get to the end and hit the buy button, do some more stuff, hit the buy button, only to see that shipping will be $13 US. WHAT THE FUCK!  Well, time wasted, but I didn't complete the order, and then sent a very disgruntled email to said Moo 'people'.

So , the next step in my journey. I googled mini cards/business cards "search New Zealand". That is the key here people- New Zealand search. And I come up with a  .co.nz address, and I assume ( I know , i know, can we say "stupid") that these would be made in NZ, and therefore would not cost so much to ship. This process was even more laborious - BTW it was Vistaprint- and to add to actually getting the card designed and done,  sealing the deal with the 'buy' button, i then had to click thru pages, and pages, and pages, and, yes you guessed it, pages of other advertising before I could actually buy them. I did decide to get some return address labels. so I get to the end, shipping $19. WHAT. THE. FUCK!! ( I must mention that all pricing was in NZ$)

Well, i cut my order way down, from 500 cards and labels to  250 cards, no labels, Shipping dropped down to $12 (and I was getting 150 more cards than with Moo). Still not happy, but by this time i have probably wasted about an hour and a half of my life. So I purchase. Then, then... after the purchase is complete, i get a little message saying , "you have 10 minutes to accept this deal. 500 more cards NO SHIPPING cost." Oh, I think, ok. I can do that. Could I?? Do you think I could do that? No, I could not, The site could not process that  order at this time. I am sure that 'the site' would suddenly remedy  that issue at 10mins and 1 sec....

So I have my cards (in 14-21 working days). They  better be worth it ( that  shipping  for both companies was for the slow boat via china btw- not even super duper express which was - hope you are wearing your depends- $30!!). Vistaprint got an even dirtier email from me regarding the misleading URL, the highway robbery shipping and the totally bogus offer at the end. The Moo people have had the good grace to respond, and assure me that the shipping charge is WRONG. Shit, you think!! They would most assuredly refund me the excess. Well you won't, because I never gave it to you in the first place, dick head.

Well, what have I learnt? Not a fuck of a lot really. But if any of you know of anywhere decent, and reasonable for business cards, let me know would you.
