VP said 3 days (est. 12/16). I think that's a pretty generous "3 days". Zazzle has no date. I keep checking, but they're both still processing. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards/page/2#post-1281268 Sat, 14 Dec 2013 00:51:56 +0000 HabesBabe 1281268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I got my cards today! So less than a week (ordered them Sunday night). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272760 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:24:29 +0000 shinymama 1272760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Tiny Prints. I have never payed for expedited shipping, and they always arrive within a few days. {I think it's because they usually ship from Arizona and I'm in SoCal.} </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272708 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 21:01:34 +0000 lindseykaye 1272708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: did you see mine on IG? The designer line has some really cute stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272630 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:34:45 +0000 shopaholic 1272630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: oh no! Fx'd for you! Your bb pic was gorgeous!</p> <p>@lindseykaye: I'm with you! The $20 will be worth it! Can't wait to check out the VP site tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272625 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:33:18 +0000 shopaholic 1272625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bisous: that is great!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272623 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:32:54 +0000 shopaholic 1272623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone!!! I just got our pics last night and going to order today. It's been hard since K wants to steal the laptop every time I'm on it, I think I'll order both vista print and zazzle ones since I have groupons. I'll probably pay for expedited shipping just to be safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272612 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:27:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 1272612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: Yes! After I posted that comment I emailed their CS--and never got a response. But the next day the tracking showed them in Philly, which is like 2 hours from me, and they were delivered last Friday? So I don't know if the tracking was just wrong or for some reason they sent the order south and then rerouted it? But we got them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272598 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:20:36 +0000 bisous 1272598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Did you order yours yet? I highly recommend Minted! I ordered last Sunday and they arrive Tuesday with normal shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272592 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:18:02 +0000 lindseykaye 1272592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I just ordered our cards from vistaprint! Ordered them late Saturday night, shipped today, will arrive on Friday. I upgraded to priority for just under $20. Though I justified it happily to have them in plenty of time to send before we go out of town because I also had a groupon and paid $41 (groupon plus amount at ordering) or a full order of 40 double sided cards, extra envelopes, address labels, and a couple sheets of custom gift tags!<br /> Really though I've used Vistaprint tons of times, over several years now and have always been happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272569 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:07:49 +0000 HabesBabe 1272569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Any update on your Zazzle order yet?</p> <p>@shopaholic: I placed our order on Sunday night after getting back from Big Bear using the Zazzle Groupon... my order status still says "Processing," even though there's a complete Processed date and time, and a Shipment ID (but not a shipping service). The design I chose says, "Ships tomorrow!" on it, too, so I don't know... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272558 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:05:12 +0000 photojane 1272558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered from Shutterfly with regular shipping &amp; got them 5 days later. I'm not terribly impressed with the quality, but they're alright. I would be more concerned about getting your pictures back in time! The normal turn around time for a photographer is AT LEAST a week, but usually 2-3 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272543 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:01:54 +0000 BSB 1272543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Ugh, sorry, it didn't show up but glad Shutterfly reprinted and gave you expedited shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272521 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:53:12 +0000 sunny 1272521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I complained on the Shutterfly message forums on Wednesday night and someone responded Thursday morning and had my order reprinted for free and shipped with expedited shipping. I finally received them today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272517 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:52:02 +0000 cmomma17 1272517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I just ordered mine like an hour ago and paid the equivalent of a years college tuition to have them rushed and arrive by Thursday. Ugh. Next year I will plan ahead a little better.</p> <p>You can include "&amp; a happy new year!" on your cards and as long as people get them by December 31 I think you're good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1272510 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:49:15 +0000 BSB 1272510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Did you ever get them? A friend mine was complaining about Shutterfly's delivery time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1262434 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:28:32 +0000 lavender 1262434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered mine from vistaprint Nov 22 (a Friday night) and got them today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1262309 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:04:08 +0000 shopaholic 1262309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: @bpcmarj: Interesting! I have a Vistaprint Groupon too, but I've never used either company yet. I guess it will depend on how late/soon we get the pic files!</p> <p>I :heart: TinyPrints! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261436 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:32:12 +0000 regberadaisy 1261436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: snapfish is offering 40% off + free 3 day shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261325 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:12:53 +0000 T-Mom 1261325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered on Minted, and they came in 2 days. I didn't pay any extra. It came much faster than the promised delivery date! However, this was 2 weeks ago... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261096 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:34:28 +0000 yin 1261096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I miss mypublisher's holiday cards. Unfortunately Shutterfly bought them and they no longer offer cards. They had excellent customer service, and my cards always arrived within a few days from ordering. Such high quality too! Sigh. This year I'll most likely use shutterfly and hope they arrive in time. I don't mind if people receive them after Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261079 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:30:58 +0000 mrsjyw 1261079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered mine on Monday from Tiny Prints. Will be here next Monday, 12/9. </p> <p>I was thinking about doing an at-home shoot with A, but thought I didn't have enough time, so I just used our fall fam portraits! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261071 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:29:35 +0000 mrs. 64 1261071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered from Tiny Prints the night of Nov. 27 (day before Thanksgiving) and got them yesterday, Dec. 4. I had free shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261070 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:29:17 +0000 littlebug 1261070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought ours on Snapfish. Placed the order on Friday, shipped Saturday, received yesterday. Would have gotten them Tuesday but for some reason FedEx transferred them to the PO, so it took an extra day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1261044 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:23:20 +0000 lovehoneybee 1261044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I think it might have been shipped to the wrong place. Tracking last night had it leaving MD and going south to NC instead of north to me in PA. I'm going to see what it says this morning before contacting them.</p> <p>ETA: So it could have been a USPS thing and not a Zazzle one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1260954 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:52:31 +0000 bpcmarj 1260954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to order through vistaprint, but they were quoting that they wouldn't be in until the 22nd or something, and I still had to write them out. I forgot that they usually are WAY quicker with shipping than they quote like @Mamaof2: said. But, they still wanted $7 for standard shipping.</p> <p>I wound up ordering from Wal-mart instead. Placed the order on Monday and shipping was free and should arrive around the 10th. This gives me PLENTY of time to write them out and then get them sent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1260894 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 08:13:34 +0000 Mamaof2 1260894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered thru Vistaprint - normal delivery which is usually super slow but ended up getting them in less than a week!! Got them yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1260792 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:11:46 +0000 Smurfette 1260792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last year I ordered them mid Dec on tiny prints and we had then with in a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1260788 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 06:08:58 +0000 petunia354 1260788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going through the same thing!! We had our pictures last Saturday and won't get them back through dropbox until 12/9, so I will need to pick out a card and get it ordered ASAP. I might even do more of a "holiday/new years" card so that it won't be weird if it shows up after Christmas. I really don't want to pay for rush shipping :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/online-holiday-cards#post-1260740 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 02:56:35 +0000 shopaholic 1260740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: well, she knows we're planning to use them for cards, so hopefully just a couple days? And it's some kind of online download link so I won't have to wait for a CD. Fx'd I can make it work. </p>
