I broke down and ordered business cards. I waited a little longer than I should have (I have a bridal fair on Sunday) so I paid for expedited shipping. Well, they arrived today - just in time.....BUT....THEY ARE FOR ANOTHER CONSULTANT!!! WHO LIVES IN VIRGINIA!!!!! I am so irked!!! Now I have to have my DH print me some at work tomorrow. They won't look nearly as professional as I wanted. Oh well, I am just needing to vent a little. :mad:
 
Call Merrill and have them overnight them to you - you paid for expedited shipping and you didn't get what you paid for! Keep asking for a supervisor until you get the answer you want.
 
I agree!! Call someone and start raising a ruckus NOW - that is just unacceptable!! I hope you can get it straightened out - they owe you BIG TIME!!

They close at 5, I didn't get the box of bad cards until 5:30 or you bet I would be!!!!! I needed to do something constructive, so I sent an email HO to let them know what happened.

hope they weren't mine!
 
I ordered mine from vista print and got mixed review from many cheffers wether or not they would be here in time for this weekend... I order the vista ones and then turned around and ordered the Merrill ones, thinking that maybe just maybe one or the other would pull through and of course they both came in at the beginning of this week.. So I can't say I have had bad luck with either company! (cross my fingers because I probably just jinxed myself..oh man)

So far...I contacted Merrill this morning and talked to a couple different people. I was able to get them to refund all the shipping charges I have paid so far and they are going to overnight me a new batch free shipping. Not what I was hoping for, but it's something. I also contacted this other consultant and will make arrangements to get these cards to her (they told me to dispose of them, but I can't do that). I am hoping she gets mine and we can just switch and then we can have a second batch for free. Not totally satisfied, but at least it's something, right?
 
I would still contact HO so they can have it documented as well.
