catvinnat Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Right, here goes: Pillowslip I ordered 2 of these as gifts but will probably keep them as I am so delighted with them. Don't be put off by the creases as these are from me folding it up to take it to work and show it off!. The colours are true and the detail pin sharp even though it is a large item. They had an offer on this and I got both, including postage for $11.98 I give this 5 out of 5 This is the bucket bag - the picture is printed on a silky cushioned material and then made into the bag, The handles and base are leather. Its a neat size at approx 10 inches square. Its lined with a zip pocket and a phone pocket inside, oh and its double sided so you can put a different pic on the other side. The sheen on the fabric has not reproduced well in the photo, the bag is even better than it looks. I have been using this all week at work and have had people stopping me in the street to ask where I got it I paid $15.99 including postage I give this 5 out of 5 Next up another of the bags, Again, really thrilled with this and again a 5 out of 5 for the quality, value, speed of delivery and roproduction of the original Lo. This is a gift for my mum and I know she will love it now for the photobook this is the packaging it arrived in - a heavy duty poly bag, well sealed, clearly addressed and as Thess predicted a customs value less than that which would be stopped at uk customs. this one shows the front cover, secure packaging and the book sealed in a clear poly bag inside the foam protection next the back cover still in the packing even with the packing you can see tte image is sharp and crystal clear. Its also true to the original and finally some shots of the inside. Afraid these are not good pictures and don't do the book justice. The page weight is great. Print quality perfect and the colour true. The binding is securely stitched and the pages all secure. I truly cannot fault this book at all and will definitely be ordering books (and gifts and prints) from Artscow again its a 12 x 12 by the way, 32 pages but would have taken many more pages and still been secure Cost $24 including postage worldwide took approx 3 weeks from ordering good comms with email on dispatch again, have to give it another 5 out of 5, it has exceeded all by expectations If anyone wants to hop over the book is in their gallery my user name there is Catvinnat, same as here You get scads of freebies and or cheap offers when you sign up so you can try them for next to nothing. They also have a forum for trading freebies so you can swap ones you don't use for ones that you do. happy to answer any questions and hoping the photos have loaded ok this time, fingers crossed........

anemone1983 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Catherine, these are just beautiful! I'm so glad the product came out as great as you expected. Your "boys" book is so special and wonderfully done - you needed to have some special printings done of it! Great job and good choice in printing vendors!

Becca Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I've been using Artscow for awhile, too. And honestly, each time I order the product gets better. This company is really putting money into getting out the best quality printing they can. And they are constantly adding new products to their offerings. I love those bags, Cat! Wow! Might have to make one for my mom, too! I haven't ordered any of those yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catvinnat Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 yikes! thats a long time. My stuff has all been much quicker than that. I know the photobooks take longer but they do warn about that on the website. Think mine was 3 weeks from uploading to delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
