loved it, but also disappointed

Feb 13, 2026 | Rebecca R. | Verified Buyer
This was the first time I've gotten an embossed card from Vista Print. The raised and color cation was really cool and looked great. The only issue is there was a horizontal smudge mark going across the top right corner of every card. I wish I'd ordered sooner as I know they would have replaced the cards with ones that were fresh and smudge free. However, I ordered at the last minute and lost this option.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
It's sad to hear that the business cards you received had smudges on them. We totally understand your disappointment and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for taking the time to reach out to customer care directly, so they can provide some assistance. We can assure you that this is not the type of service we pride ourselves on giving.
