Every thing was good but did not include both samples of the white plastic card. Those were the two samples that I wished to compare
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are glad to hear that you were overall pleased with your Free Business Card Sample Kit, though we are truly sorry to hear that the two white plastic card samples you were hoping to compare were missing from your package. Our sample kit is designed to showcase a wide selection of 16 business cards and a postcard insert, giving customers a hands-on look at various paper stocks, thicknesses, unique shapes, corner styles, and premium finishes like foil accents, raised foil, and embossed gloss. While our full product offering is detailed in our FAQ, we completely understand how disappointing it is when a specific stock you wanted to test isn't included. We genuinely appreciate your suggestion to include extra samples, as feedback like yours helps us improve our kits for future customers.
