Ripping people off!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 2 votes
Company information:
Vista Print
United States
www.vistaprint.com

If you have ever ordered from Vistaprint.com, check your statements, they are ripping people off! I ordered business cards and they have been charging me for the past 3 months for a service I never requested. They gave my credit card information to Business Max. When I called them, they said that I clicked on a popup, and that Vista Print authorized that charge. This is not true since I have a popup blocker. Please send this e-mail to all of your friends. Companies like this do not deserve good customers. I just opened a complaint to the BBB. Some complaints are as old as 5 years ago and some as new as today. Apparently, Vistaprint does not learn, they just keep changing their name on the credit card charge.

Let's all fight back and cripple this company by sending this e-mail to as many people as you know. I am very upset because they have no right to do this, and apparently they are not stopping. All you have to do is type in Google, VistaPrint ripoff and you will see so many complaints and no one is stopping them. Whatever happened to the Federal companies that are supposed to stop this and protect the consumers? I will certainly never purchase from them again.

Online Printing Causes Numerous Hassles

With more than 260 complaints filed with the BBB, Vista Print USA, Inc. of Lexington, Mass is one of the BBB top ten most complained about companies. Vista Print provides design and print services over the internet, which might sound convenient (as their website claims), but 260 consumers report otherwise. Many complaints allege that the company shipped inaccurate and incorrect items to consumers.

Though the company website states that the average wait on their toll free line is thirty seconds, dozens of consumers reported significant troubles reaching customer service. The BBB also received reports that Vista Print placed unauthorized charges on consumer's credit cards. Vista Print USA, Inc. has an unsatisfactory report with the BBB for no response to complaints and a pattern of complaints.

Please send to at least 10 people, or all of your friends and family.

Thanks!

Hello, I’m Jeff Esposito, an employee in VistaPrint’s public relations group, and I saw your blog entry on our rewards program and wanted to reply. On behalf of VistaPrint I am sorry you feel you’ve had a negative experience with our rewards program. VistaPrint believes that the vast majority of our customers who sign up for the program really enjoy the benefits, but if you are not happy, please call 866.870.4124 and we’d be happy to process a refund. We’re open from Mon – Fri 8 am – midnight EST.

I called Jeff Esposito, Public Relations at their corporate HDQ in Massachusetts and quickly explained my situation where I had been charged for an internet subscription that I had not been aware of nor used, and he was very friendly and efficient and said that a full refund would be processed by my next billing cycle (Just under $200)

I think in these situations its people like Jeff Esposito that can make a difference with a firm's reputation and repeat business.

I encourage to call the company's HDQ and speak to him and I am sure that everything will be resolved in a friendly and efficient manner.

I will re-post a comment once the full refund has been processed.

I commend his action in posting such a helpful comment which could have been a situation mired in red-tape and lots of letter writing and frustrating phone calls and correspondence.

Be ready with your account number, email address and he can process it from there.

I would suggest to Vista Print to make the subscription to such a service more transparent and to make sure that customers are aware in a very visible manner that they are agreeting to a re-occurring charge to their card.

For a hassle-free ordering of your print jobs over the internet, or at their Commerce, CA location, you should try zooprinting.com . Great quality at very low prices!

Regarding the post by Jeff Esposito above, his post appears on consumer sites wherever people report being ripped off by Vistaprint/vprewards/clubprem. Please note his wording carefully: when he promises “a full cancellation and refund”, you will certainly recieve a ‘full cancellation’ but not a full refund. They make their money by ripping many thousands of people off and offering partial refunds to those that notice they’ve been ripped off (many never notice or give up trying to contact the company because they make it as difficult as possible). All of these companies are part of Vertrue, in the states, who have been sued successfully in the past and told to cease the business practices through which they have made a fortune (it’s called “negative optioning”, a very unethical way of making money). They haven’t ceased the practices and are being taken to through the courts again. If you want to read more, it’s here:

They are a vile company and people shouldn’t go anywhere near them.
