If metal frame is not included why do you write down on title or description so person can easily read Felt like ripped off by looking at picture and only poster arrived not the metal frame

Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

We’re sorry to hear the product didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive only the poster when the photo made it seem a frame was included. Your feedback is very helpful, and we’ll review the title and description to ensure they clearly state what’s included. Please note that the website provides a feature option before proceeding with the design process, allowing you to choose whether to include the metal frame or order the inserts only. We hope this clarifies your concern, and we truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Perfect ❣️

Love our sign promoting our quartet! Sturdy, beautiful colour and clear imaging. It is a little heavier than we hoped and a handle or a carrying case to compliment it rould be a perfect add on. Thank you Chance! Quartet
