Free Shipping My A$$
October 26, 2021

They advertised free shipping on their website, I've applied the code and they continued to charge me shipping even for Standard Shipping. I have spoken to a Simply to Impress chat representative, and they followed up by saying they will honor the promo code and they will return my shipping funds. However, I had to order first.
I ordered, and when I went back to receive my money for shipping, they went back on their word. I have snapshots of the conversation showing proof, and they still do not honor it.
I will not be dealing with them again due to their unprofessionalism.

Cards Never Arrived
December 15, 2023

The cards I ordered were in memory of a deceased family member. The cards were ordered "overnight". The cards didn't arrive when expected. I called Simply To Impress. They said there was a "delay". The tracking (UPS) continued to say a label was made but that they "did not have the package". I called again the next day, and after a long wait, when I finally spoke to someone, they just said "there's a delay". And I was put on hold for 15 minutes. I gave up. I called again the next day (now the cards are 3 days late) and they say again that there is a delay. Now they say they can send a replacement but I won't get them for 5-6 days. I got a refund. I don't have another option this late now to get cards made in time. To say this was upsetting is pure understatement. Do NOT use Simply To Impress. They not only are unimpressive, they do not even bother making sure you get your order.

I ordered a banner for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary from this joke of a business. Because of the pandemic we had to cancel all out original party plans and wanted to do something special and decorate their house. I ordered a banner two weeks in advance and paid for expedited shipping. Here it is two days before the party and no banner and no shipping date. Tried several times to reach them by email and no response but I finally got through today on a chat and requested to cancel my order. There was no apology, no nothing. Just said my order would be canceled. I'm sure they filter all their reviews because there is no way they actually have a 4.9 star rating or whatever it says on their website. This place is crap. Thanks for ruining my parent's 50th anniversary.

Still... no cards and no customer service follow up
December 28, 2020

I ordered my cards in early Dec. Based on the timeline they gave me they would have arrived on Dec. 16th.

It is 12/28 and no cards in site! I wouldn't be as upset if I waited until the last minute, but after reaching out to their customer service department I have not heard back and it's been over a week. A heads up would have been nice and I would have gone with another vendor. Tracking hasn't been updated. Essentially my 100+$ worth of cards are nowhere to be found. I have used simply to impress the last 3 years and will NOT be using them again. I understand the mail is messed up, but no follow up for customer service or even a separate communication on how behind things were is really a disgrace.

Every year I use this company for various reasons! I like to do a year in review. I like the fact that I can put captions under my photos to let people know where I traveled, who is in the photos, etc…I also like the fact that I can do a "sample" card to correct any mistakes I make. Also: the packaging is professional!

Ordered my Christmas cards and they were what I expected and came in time... however the glue on the envelopes didn't stick. I had to use a glue stick on all 250 cards. Huge pain. It took writing three emails to get a reply and when I did they apologized and said they issued an $8 refund. The original order was $396 so that's a slap in the face. In addition, I never received the refund! They said I have to contact my financial institution to get the credit. Sooo not worth my time... Will never order from them again.

Paid high quality expensive cards. Received cards on Friday (3 days late!) and... our family image was sooooo dark and gloomy, that all four of us became looking like a different family with dark faces!
Our original photo was bright, with a blue sky and Caucasian faces, but instead we became African-American family ( with all respect to them).
Tried to call them, 1h15min hold and I had to hang up.
Never use this company!

DO NOT USE!
December 21, 2020

I had the worst experience using this company. I placed an order for Christmas cards on December 8th, paid for expedited shipping and still did not have the order by the 15th. After being on hold for 36 minutes, customer service was terrible! They blamed the post office, when come to find out, the company never sent my cards out. The customer service rep's recommendation to me was to order new cards from somewhere local so I could maybe still get them out in time. Such a waste of time and no cards to show for.

Ordered Christmas cards arrived on time, December 6 cards are very dark and its been 9 days and no one has addressed the issue. I call and the managers are always on the phone and customer service can not make a decision. I will not use them again it has been very stressful and they will not put a supervisor on the phone because they are always busy. Customer service is not able to expeditate that time is of the essence. It has been stressful using them this year.
