The great Vista Print Scam! | Digital Spaghetti

This happened to a friend of mine and if you ring up Vistaprint and complain that this was not made clear to you, they should refund your money. They certainly did for my friend anyway.

Been there, got the t-shirts, had the row and got all my money back.

Believe me it is borderline not a scam. When you get to the last page and go to pay, it makes you a few offers for 30 Day trials. You can opt out of them, but if you opt in for the trials you give them permission to join you to 2 clubs that supposedly give you discounts.

In fact what you get is the same discounts you can get for free by shopping round on the web.

Trading standards are aware and as they pointed out, not reading fine print isn't the same as a direct scam.

I don't do business with them any more which is a shame because they are good for cheap personalised stationary.
