I spent days trying to place a custom foil business card order and ultimately ended up requesting a refund. During the process I spoke with multiple employees by email and phone, uploaded the same files multiple times, received different instructions from different departments, and repeatedly had to explain that the design was AI-generated and that the PNG files I provided were the only files available. The biggest issue was the lack of clear communication and pricing. I was initially given a quote, then later additional foil charges appeared, then shipping charges were added that were not included in the original pricing discussion. Discounts were offered on standard business cards but did not apply to the custom foil work I was actually trying to purchase. As a customer, it felt like I was constantly being moved from one step to another without ever receiving a clear final answer on the total cost, the status of the order, or whether the files provided were sufficient. The staff were polite, but the overall process was confusing, time-consuming, and frustrating. For a custom project, I expected the files to be reviewed first, a final price to be provided up front, and then the order to move forward. Instead, the process involved multiple quotes, multiple uploads, multiple conversations, and ultimately a refund. Unfortunately, this was one of the most confusing ordering experiences I have had.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely regret that the ordering process for your custom project was confusing and frustrating. We recognize that custom projects require clear, consistent communication from the outset, and we understand how disappointing it is when that experience falls short. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity it provided to identify areas where we needed to improve.
