vistprint shipping question

[emschwar]

Does the shipping really take as long as they say it does? I can do slow shipping and it'll get here (so they say) in 21 days, or I can pay more. Will it really take 21 days?

The first time I ordered, and paid for the mid-level shipping ($9ish), the invites took approx 7-9 days to arrive. The second time I ordered, I chose the 21 day shipping ($5ish) and the cards arrived within 7-9 days.
They print and ship out right away, so I don't think it could take 21 days if they wanted it to... I think you'd be alright with the cheaper shipping.

thanks! I don't really want to pay for expensive shipping, but I need the stuff by 11/5.

I would most definitely pay for the slightly faster shipping. On a bunch of my orders, they really did take 21 days. It seemed like forever before I got the email that they had been printed and shipped - like they had the order on hold for a few weeks or something. Probably it's hit or miss. Also, Vistaprint isn't super duper quality (although I love them and do recommend them) and you may want to factor in a couple days in case you need them to fix something.

Ditto, I'd pay for faster shipping if you need it by 11/5. I think it took a couple of weeks for me to get my order.

I am also in Mass where vistaprint is located, so that may have something to do with the fast delivery, just a thought.
