    Suprised that the US item arrives on the same day...US post is normally much slower.

    Nice and all as you're children are, I'm sure the grannies would prefer this :D

    How could anyone prefer that to mug shots of my angels. Thanks for the idea, I know what I am getting my best friend.

    Be aware you will probably have to pay customs and VAT on those purchases...

    I heard that customs usually step up efforts come Christmas time...

    Worst case scenario: 3.5% custom duty + 21% VAT
    so it becomes:
    75 dollars... roughly 51 euro - still a good saving though!

    Plus "handling fee" from whatever half arsed delivery service brings it to your door, which will bring it closer to the euro price, though still should be less

    I've ordered from this crowd before both .com and .ie and both consignments were shipped from Holland. Unless things have changed you won't have to pay tax or duty on the order

    Get ready to be spammed... I remember using them a while back. They sent me an unholy amount of emails afterwards.

    Yep, have used them in the past, all communication from them goes directly to spam.

    Interestingly got an email this morning letting me know there is an irish web site and offering me 25% discount on my first Irish order.

    Wasn't that nice of them:p

    Thanks for the tip Sue97 I'll be ordering from the .com site in future. I'd already noticed the difference between the .ie and .co.uk sites (the .ie site being dearer of course.) I hadn't realised I could order from .com site, and if the order is shipped from Netherlands that's perfect- no customs duty.

    I've ordered from Vistaprint a few times their products are good quality for the price. I really like the idea of being able to design my own artwork, directly online, and seeing it immediately. I found the whole process very enjoyable. I don't mind the emails either, in fact I admire their persistence and crass gimmickry at times. :rolleyes:
