I've used them for business cards, postcards, and a photo calender. Very good service and the product was nice. The downside...lots of email "specials", virtually one a day.

I'm not in Canada but at least i'll vouch for their US performance.

Yea I usually expect tons of crap from places like that as far as spam goes so I just create an email alias for them like vistaprint@myurl.com that way I know who the spam is coming from and can easily stop it if it gets the least bit annoying :P

I would suggest using the vistaprint US site. I tried to use the Canadian site and its more expensive! (go figure). Just my experience.

I used them for calendars last year and again this year. I was very happy with the results last year. The calendars for 2010 are currently in the mail.

I would recommend them, just make sure you are using the .ca site and not the .com site (or you will get charged US $), and also make sure if you use a coupon code, or any type of discount, that it is a Canadian deal. (last year I put in a promo code they gave me over the phone, and for that reason, they ended up charging me in US dollars despite the fact I ordered from the Canadian site)

I've just ordered my photo Christmas cards from them for the 4th year. Very pleased with the quality.

Even with the exchange rate!

Do your homework.

I just did a quick comparison. NOw keep in mind these are regular prices and sometimes the sale price is cheaper.

US Site
Oversize postcards
50 $19.99US=20.97CDN

CDN Site
Oversize postcards
50 $23.99CDN Regular price. See what I mean
(right now they are on sale for $17.99CDN)

This is just one example. I usually have both US and CDN Sites up and compare the 2 while shopping.

Their sales and promos are completely different on both sites.
