I have sold a number of cards. I have seen there site as someone on another forum pointed people to BCE.
I have nothing really bad to say about them as I know nothing about them.
I will ofer advice and ask, possibly a loaded question......
Did you ever think as to why that they can offer them for such a low price?
When you said $20/M my first thought was, "they must be paying you for the honor of printing your cards"
Then I thought how in the heck......?
So here is my Q?
Could they be offering such a low price because most of the dealers don't even sell there free amount of cards included (you said it was 500 free)
If this were the case, and it may not be (but I know a litle about printing and the costs associated) What would happen to the cost if they wre not able to sell new dealerships?
On top of that, what if you have a client that wants something that BCE doesn't offer, are you able to go outside of the family to satisfy the needs of your clients?
I get my cards from overnightprints.com and am very pleased with the quality and T.A.T. that they have.
If you have a problem with design or other area of the process, I am certain that they would be more than happy to help.
This leads me to another question.....
What do you have to pay for them to lay it out for you? If this is something that you can do on your own and are qualified to do so, will BCE allow it?
I have no idea what or even who they are, I just wonder, wat you need them at an expense of $25,000 for?
The other thing that I might ask of Steve Shulenski is to give you the other guys contact info or to describe for the rest of us why a guy would leave his $25K investment to goto another printer.
Seemas af something must have been wrong with them
Man for $25K I would have a hard time just leaving them.
Best of luck,
Jason

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
