I'm in the market for a good local printer. I called yesterday to get a price quote for postcards. They told me $200 for 5000 4x11 EDDM cards. They instructed me to email them for artwork upload. I did and never got an email back. I called again, spoke to a very uncertain sounding guy and he apparently just got my emails. I asked him if he could print just 2000 and he said he can only do 1000 for $150, so I said then the 5000 for $200 is a better deal, to which he said 5000 would be $375. I said that's not what your office quoted me yesterday. He then hesitated and said "oh ok." They will print out 1000 but not 2000????
What kind of printer is that?
I don't like shifty business practices and if they're new, they shouldn't come off sounding like scam artists if they want business.
Overall, just based on this important initial first impression, I don't feel comfortable giving this place my business and entrusting them to handle my print marketing. I will remain with my current online printer and pay a tad more for a dependable vendor.
