VistaPrint Fail


I used to love VistaPrint, when I was working in the rescue and selling Tupperware, it was a total life saver! They had all these incentives, free this and free that. Shipping was terrible, and they would charge you for things like uploading a photo for your design, or moving the words and things around custom (something I always did because I did not much care for their layouts). It always worked out in their favor, because you get carried away designing everything for free or cheap, then the order totals $50 or $60 with shipping but you don't think anything of it because so much was "free", so everyone wins and is happy.
 
Unfortunately, VistaPrint has decided that they have a large enough customer base to drop the incentives. No more free products, and the "sales" that they do have are ridiculous. Actually, the most recent email I received from them was completely absurd.  
 
If you can see below, some of the prices have a reduction of a whopping $0.01 (from $7.00 to $6.99). Others are increased for their "sale" price, such as the flyers going from $20.00 normal to $26.99 on sale, or the brochures from $30.00 normal to $35.99 on sale. Literally the worst ad I have seen in a long time. Notice the small car door magnets? From $0.00 to $8.99. I feel sorry for whoever edited and approved this email ad to be sent out.
