    You mean you want to print them online? and have them mailed to you?
    I think you should find a company near where you live.

    If you want them cheap, then you'll find it hard to beat vistaprint.
    But if you want quality, then I'd agree with KoK - find somewhere local

    I've been pretty impressed with the products from VistaPrint but once they have your email address they seem to bombard you on a near daily basis with spam new offers.

    I got 250 cards for $5.25 from VistaPrint back in Feb 07. They were the free card option (only pay for shipping and handling)... which has "Business Cards are FREE at www.vistaprint.com!" in small print on the back side of the card. I don't really mind it for 2 cents a card though...

    VistaPrint has horrible customer service. Don't expect to get fair treatment if something goes wrong. I had to literally argue with one of their "trained" customer service reps about an overcharged on some business cards. I ended up just canceling the order.

    PrintGlobe.com has a good quality selection.

    Make sure whatever you're planning to print is in FULL CMYK color, at 300 DPI. That's when you'll get the best results.

    Where do you live, in the mountains or what?
    can't you go to a local print shop?
    get 5,000 cards for .02 ea. rather than
    getting some expensive prices/shipping chgs
    and then getting something that's not really
    what you wanted...use your head.

    Unless you're handing out cards like candy or want a cool multi-color logo, go to your nearest office supplies store and get a box of Avery business card forms. They are sheets of card stock (I think 12 to a sheet) that are perforated, so you just print a sheet of cards and then they easily separate. My customers have never noticed the difference and I print about 60 cards at a time and that lasts me for months.

    I've had good results from overnightprints.com

    They are dirt cheap, the cards are solid and they are relatively quick.

    I can't say much about the customer service as i ordered everything online and didn't actually have to speak to anyone from the company.
