    Checkout vistaprint.com, good pricing and just easy to get what you need IMO.

    Yes, I have ordered from them before, actually.

    I was looking for an alternative.

    Their pricing is sometimes odd.

    Thank you l3vi!

    We also use adgprinting.com for postcards and other media, they do business cards as well.

    I also go local.

    Just because we work online doesn't mean that you need to cut yourself off from the real (offline) world.

    Sometimes it's nice to get out and about, meet other businesspeople and make contacts outside of the webmaster world.

    Well I will vote vistaprint again, every local printer around me charges 3-5x more then vista print does.

    Yeah, going local is nice, but when good pricing is a priority, then vistaprint or another online service, are an option.

    Only, while most products are so cheap and of decent quality, shipping costs are pretty expensive, particularly if you're in a hurry, and that's not always so obvious.

    I am currently looking into another, 123print.

    Anybody else uses another good online service?

    We use a local company, pricing is slightly more than vistaprint but the quality is massively higher and makes the vista cards look cheap and nasty.... business cards can be an important marketing tool and need to think if "budget" is what you want your marketing to say or not

    why would you use vistaprint? the local guy usually
    gives you the BEST deal, you don't have to wait 2 weeks
    and you can see a pre-approved card.
    my local printer does 5,000 full color 1 sided cards for $75

    let me see vistaprint top that.

    I used to actually think that vistaprint would be outta business
    by now, cause I figured "no idiot is gonna get cards from there, with
    those prices" but it seems there are quite a few _______

    Well, just to clarify, it's not that I haven't Googled business cards, but with so many companies, it's useful to get some info based on other people's experience, rather than trying them all.

    There's a ton of businesses that do business cards, but which one gives me the most for the least?

    That's the question...

    But thanks to all!

    I think I'll try 123print if they reply to my email as soon as I expect them to...
