The greeting cards, wrapping paper and gift bags are great. Many of their other products are cheap and don't even work. The magnets were adorable but useless as they don't stick to anything. The throw was cute online, but when received, it is very cheap looking and ugly and it had a horrible smell to it. The book marks are very thin and not laminated... won't last long. You have to pay your own return postage to return anything and postage is very expensive these days. I had a coupon for free shipping for this order. Otherwise shipping isn't cheap either.
I love Current Catalog! I have been buying from Current Catalog since I was a high school student. My friends and I would order together. It was like Christmas when our order came. Now, I put together baskets of Current goodies and create beautiful gifts for my grandchildren's teachers. I have had nothing but compliments on the unusual items in those gifts. I buy using coupon codes which helps balance out the shipping costs. Yes, you do have to expect slow shipping, but just plan ahead. Also, their sales are great!
I wanted generic address labels. Although I found the price being asked a bit high, I was willing to go with that. Then the shipping charges came up - Whew! I can ship 25 lbs across the country for $11 bucks, but these guys wanted almost as much to ship 2 rolls of address labels. Not for Me! Found similar labels for less cost and more reasonable shipping. Got all that for the cost these guys wanted for just shipping. Take a few minutes and look elsewhere.
I have been ordering from Current Catalog for about 10 years and have had only good experiences.
Products were great at a great price. When I got my first order of holiday paper in a roll I was very surprised at the thickness and good quality and beautiful designs. I really love everything I have gotten. The people are very nice on the phone. I was sorry and surprised to read all the negative comments.
My Christmas gifts are beautifully presented because of Current and their products.
They make the season bright for me and my family! Thank You, Current.
Unlike many reviews here, I have ordered 4 times and had 4 consistently good experiences! No products were ever delayed or missing. All were good quality. Hint: Once you start ordering online, they will begin sending catalogs in the mail. These include great discount codes on shipping, deeply discounted products and free products. My last order contained 2 free journals, 2 free notepads, some free full size thank you cards and envelopes, free gift wrap sheets, and free file folders. As long as they maintain this excellent quality, I will be a repeat customer! No complaints!
I purchase Current products several times a year. Especially stickers I use to make homemade cards for church. Never had a issue, never disappointed with the quality of their products.
I have been a customer for Current Catalog for over 30 years. This past Christmas I ordered over 144 Christmas cards imprinted with our names. The cards were about $12 a pack and Current charged over $20 shipping in addition. I was charged for the whole order yet when the cards came over a third of the order was missing (ordered 8 packs pf 18 cards and only 5 were shipped). Current shipped the missing cards but they arrived too late to use, forcing me to buy other cards to replace the missing ones I had paid for and never received. In addition, the cards I did receive contained 18 cards in a pack but only 16 envelopes so I was shorted again. The worst part is that after Christmas Current did nothing to rectify the cost of the cards I cannot use. I talked to customer service to no avail and also sent a letter with no reply. I will never order from Current Catalog again! Miriam B Loo would be ashamed of what this company has become.

UPDATE - Current Catalog did issue me a partial refund that I just saw now and I am satisfied, Thanks Current! I changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars
We have been trying to order Christmas cards for 3 weeks now. Can't reset password on website period. Customer service live chat no response for 2 + hours. Called to sit on hold forever finally left number to have them call back still never heard a thing. Called to place the order twice. Finally got a rep that spoke horrible english, didn't know what a "&" was. 45 minutes to order 9 items and still don't know if they are right. I pray they are since it's for a company. Don't use them for anything you don't get much service. We'll see if our order is here in 6 days, not holding my breath though
Ordered a special Christmas present mid November. (Paid $12.00 of shipping on a $30.00 item to begin with). It has now been 5 weeks. They are unable to track the order because it is at a second party warehouse. Yes, it was a personalized item, but there is still no guarantee it will be here 6 weeks later for Christmas. In this day and age of on-line shopping it is shameful the time and expense to receive an item. There are so many other better options out there. I would definitely look elsewhere. (I even live in the same town as Current.) Just very poor, reminds me why I stopped using them in the first place.
These people didn't include city and state on my address labels and ruined them all and wanted me to pay full price for new ones. Never again will I use this company!
Answer: The service is bad. Really bad. I couldn't. Then they couldn't find me as a customer, then they said they were shipping today, then they said next week.
Answer: Wanted multi-packs of birthday cards for my mom's stash, and were much cheaper than UNICEF I normally order. Never again will I use them. Extraordinarily poor service getting missing item from shipment sent. Back to UNICEF!
