Zazzle meets many of my needs and is very reliable. Their designs are better than other companies I have considered. I consider them the "quality" player and well worth the costs.

Be careful. They promise a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee and have a lot of stipulations. They require you to pay for the product to be sent back and checked before issuing a refund or a credit. The process can take as long as a month to get a refund. I ordered wedding invitations that mentioned Rose gold foil - and in fact they did not have any foil. There was no warning or clarification on the invite. This was very deceiving. They also initially responded to my complaint via email by telling me they would give me a credit within one business day and I would not have to send the product back. Following that, they retracted the statement in the next email and wouldn't honor what they originally told me. It is crazy that a business will promise something to a customer and then walk back on what they said. Especially after deceiving customers into buying something that is not what it is advertised to be. Super disappointed in their guarantee and service and would definitely not recommend.

UPDATE - After writing this review the company personally reached out to me and worked to correct the issue. I am going to count the first experience as a fluke and hope that the way they treated me afterwards is their normal practice. Given the way they resolved the issue, I would change my opinion to actually recommend the company.

1) online purchase history is no longer accesible
2) reported problem, but it still is not addressed
3) took 3 emails to even get a response from support
4) the order tracking number finally provided by the support turn out to be INVALID

I still don't know what happened to my order, and contacting support has not helped at all.

Didn't used have this kind of problem, but I am HIGHLY disappointed by Zazzle.

Won't recommend.

Ordered an oversize retirement card and had difficulty personalizing it so ordered the stock item. It took just outside the promised delivery window which was no big deal as I ordered early but... the quality is so poor!
The graphics, paper quality and folding are like the card is from a dollar store... the card is not folded square and white shows crookedly at the bottom of the card... not acceptable!
I am truly disappointed as I had been expecting something with a "Wow" factor.:-(

Just an update on my review. Going on month 4 and still no refund. Zazzle could care less about their customers. Truly a HORRIBLE company! At least I reached 4500 of you to warn.

ZAZZLE: Please send whatever email you have been sending to the new email address on my account.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!

Previous review

I would give this company zero stars if I could. I was promised a refund on 12/14/2017 which they say would take 45 days... repeat 45 days to get back on my credit card. It is now February 13th and still no refund on my credit card. Called after 40 days waiting and they say that my refund got lost and it would take another 45 days to process. WHAT! Next stop... BBB to file complaint.

Complete service failure on my order of wedding invitations. Customer service is almost non-existent and takes a full day to reach anyone by phone. After one attempt to deal with customer service, I was promised that the order would be expedited and shipped via overnight delivery. After waiting 2 weeks for an overnight package (just desperate and hopeful), I wasted another full day contacting them again, only to be told that they could not complete the order. The order was cancelled, leaving me unable to mail out my invitations. I am beyond furious and disgusted. You cannot believe a word that they tell you. Very, very unethical company. Stay away!

GREAT FOR ANYTHING
February 25, 2018

ZAZZLE IS GREAT FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED TO PERSONALIZE ANYTHING BASIC. I'VE USED IT FOR POSTCARDS, YOU HAVE TO USE IT FOR PERSONALIZED POSTAGE STAMPS WHICH CAME OUT GREAT, AND INVITATIONS. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PRODUCT JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT AND ALMOST ANYTHING ON THE INTERNET IS UP FOR GRABS. OF COURSE YOU CANNOT COPYRIGHT OFF OF SOME DISNEY, ETC. BUT PHOTOS ARE PERFECT. AND THE PHOTOS COME OUT GREAT.

Awful. Just AWFUL!
February 23, 2018

I raved to my boss and everyone else I know how wonderful Zazzle is. And then I designed and ordered over $100 worth of sweatshirts and mousepads. It's been weeks now and nothing. All I get when I email customer service is how sorry they are how it's their manufacturers fault, blah blah blah. They can't even tell me when it will be done. Then for all my trouble they offer me $5 off my next order. HA! Like I will EVER order ANOTHER THING from Zazzle again. I look like an idiot in front of my boss AND her friend isn't getting his sweatshirt like she had planned. Pathetic customer service. I will not EVER EVER EVER use this service again and will make certain I post this awful review everywhere I can. The people at Zazzle should be ashamed. They won't be, they will just keep collecting their money all the way to the bank and laugh at those of use who use a service, PAY FOR THE SERVICE, and then don't get our items or any kind of notice as to when they might arrive... Did I mention it's been 2 weeks since I ordered?

I paid and signed up for one year of free shipping. Since I did not uncheck the box that said to automatically do this every year, they charged me $10. On December 29,2017, I immediately called and was told it was impossible to get it back. After a ten minute phone call they agreed to do it just this once. Five emails, two phone calls, and two months later, I still have not received my refund.

It has been 73 days now, and two more emails, and I still have not received my $10 refund.

I've made MANY online and in-store purchases in the past few decades. I can unequivocally state that Zazzle has provided the worst customer experience I've ever had... twice.

I assume a good portion of customers buy personalized items for a special event. I would like to warn other consumers: Do NOT use Zazzle if you have ANY specific date by which you need your order.

It is now TWICE that Zazzle has completely blown past their estimated delivery date when I placed two important orders (custom T-shirts for international trips). There is absolutely ZERO communication to the customer when a deadline will not be hit.

These are orders for which I paid extra for premium shipping/service ($25 extra for one order, and $15 extra for the other). $40 down the drain. This is also TWICE that I'm now scrambling to get T-shirts printed locally before a trip -- another $80+ out of my OWN pocket for Zazzle's mistake!

Have an issue with your Zazzle order? Good luck to you. It is honestly a full-day activity to reach someone consistently by phone or email. And when I did finally reach someone regarding my last order, they totally messed up by shipping my order STANDARD instead of the priority shipping that I paid for.

Shame on Zazzle for completely disregarding the customer-- the customer's wallet, sanity, and experience. And shame on me for giving Zazzle a second chance. Support your local small business instead.

I have always been pleased with all of my Zazzle products, and now I am also happy to say that the support team came through and corrected the problem with my Zazzle Black membership to my complete satisfaction. I would highly recommend this company, their support as well as their products. I have changed my rating to 5 stars. Thank you, Zazzle. You have earned my customer loyalty.

Promised follow-up has not arrived
February 21, 2018
Previous review

I have not received any follow-up e-mail. I have checked my "junk" folder, but there is no e-mail. On another review reply, Zazzle said that they see I was able to contact customer support. Yes, that was part of my review--support was useless, as stated above. They responded with a generic e-mail, welcoming me to Zazzle, telling me my fictitious "savings" and saying that no refunds are ever given. So much for support. And the e-mail that was "sent" to me in response to my review has not arrived.

Beware of Zazzle Black membership
February 17, 2018
Previous review

My complaint is NOT with my order or with any products. I have enjoyed the products. My complaint is with the Zazzle Black membership. I was a member for several years and decided to cancel it this year since I didn't order often enough to make it worth the money. I was losing money (that part is not their fault). When I signed up, they sent a welcome e-mail with a renewal date. They sent no reminders after that. That's okay--I still have the welcome e-mail and knew the renewal date. So the day before the renewal, I go to cancel the membership and find that my account has already been charged for the renewal. No prior notice of an impending charge. But after being charged (BEFORE the renewal date), I get another welcome e-mail, as if I'd never been a member, telling me of my renewal date for next year. Poor policy. Note: I had to give an order number for this review, but my t-shirt order is NOT the problem. The problem is only with Zazzle Black. Interestingly, their e-mail telling me my account was charged treats me like a new member, yet support tells me how much I saved due to my membership. They say I saved about $19 in shipping over the past few years, but they don't include how much I spent in the Zazzle Black membership to get those savings. I spent over $19 on the membership. The problem is that they charge your renewal BEFORE your renewal date and without warning, so if you want to cancel, take note of that and be sure to cancel EARLY.

Zazzle is the easiest and most cost effective website to design and print on quality paper. They have so many options, all the accessories and you can design and take your invitations to a higher level, or keep it simple without paying through the nose. I have ordered numerous samples which are again very affordable, they all came quickly and looked exactly as I envisioned. I have no complaints at all.
