Worst customer service experience ever.
I ordered metallic thank you cards for my small business, and sent the design in promptly. I was instructed to make the areas to be metallic in a "cyan color." I did as instructed, and was as clear as possible that I was following the instructions for the cyan color to be where the gold metallic should go.
The cards arrived, and they were in cyan metallic.
Annoying, but luckily it wasn't an urgent order. I contacted their customer service about the issue and waited.
And emailed again. And waited.
And emailed again... And waited.
After a couple weeks I finally called them and was given the runaround, saying someone would call me.
Finally someone called, named Amber, and she admitted that she was wrong in confirming with the "design team" that cyan was the correct color. She admitted it was her fault, and I was just glad that 48HourPrint saw it that way.
She asked me to send her a proof of what the card should look like, and I did.
Then I was sent an invoice for the new order.
When I again contacted customer service about this I was ghosted AGAIN for weeks.
I continued to email with no response back.
Then I got on their online chat and when I explained the situation I was told my "request was denied" and they ended the chat while I was still typing.
So basically I spent over $500 on unusable cards because of their error which they refuse to fix.
Should have read the reviews first. Lesson learned.
Tl;dr 48HourPrint admitted they made a mistake on my cards (making them unusable) yet refused to refund me or send me new ones (without me paying full price to get them). Customer service is horrendous.
DO NOT SHOP HERE!!

The customer service makes it impossible to work with them
The customer service makes it impossible to move forward with them. If there is even a slight issue with the order at all, prepare to spend time managing and following up with the customer service department. You are not a priority and they really do not care about you. A more apt name would be 48-Day Print.

I’ve done about 25 postcard mailer…
I’ve done about 25 postcard mailer orders with this company since 2011 around $90,000 spent they used to be good and reliable but wow ever since 3-4 years ago they are totally unreliable as a company and have sub 50 iq employees who will mess up every step of your reorder every time and if they tell you a mailing date double or triple it.
They have not met a deadline in years now and are never even close. A simple reorder takes 10+ calls over 3-4 week period to just get these lazy people to move it through the approval - printing - mailing stages. 14+ days and 7 calls and 3+ hours on the phone just to approve an artwork that hasn’t changed in over a decade.
Once you pay them you are last on their list and they have no shame in lying to you about production time. I gave them so many 2nd chances and every time it somehow gets worse and worse and more frustrating.
Never again, this place needs to lose its market share. Quality is subpar but I’ve never minded it’s for advertisement coupon but being completely unable to meet any deadline makes advertising campaigns worthless
Over the last 3 years I’ve done 9 exact duplicate reorders and all 9 they have messed up on delaying it requiring numerous calls to try and move it through.
Literally the worst business experience I’ve encountered and i only blame myself for being lazy enough to return back thinking that because they already have my info that it will be easier... that couldn’t be further from the truth? You’d be better off flying to India and doing their job for them and then hand delivering every post card yourself and it would still get done faster with less hassle then these jokers.
Who ever bought this company destroyed it

The name 48 hours is deceiving and…
The name 48 hours is deceiving and definitely not what it is. My order never arrived after more than a month, and they told me it was lost in transit. The envelopes I bought for the cards were too late to be returned (it was a custom size envelope). They however refunded me, with no compensation for my lost. The customer service stopped responding entirely. NEVER GET ANYTHING FROM THEM.
Thank you for your feedback. We located your concerns on another platform and complied with your request for a refund. Please check your email for communication regarding this matter. -Customer Care

Nothing 48 hour about this company
Nothing 48 hour about this company. Took 4 days to get a proof and then they gave us 40 minutes to approve. Because we weren't on e-mail, and we responded 12 minutes late, they delayed us another day and then told us, it would take 4 days to get.
Difficult to deal with it. Would not recommend to anyone.

Worst I have delt with in a long time
This is one of the worst companies I have delt with in a long time. They take your money then give you crappy printing. Stay far, far away from these people!!
