		<description>I just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their experiences with Overnight Prints on the blog.  A year and a half and 90 comments later, and I think it&#039;s time to put this discussion to rest.  If you have an issue with ONP, then please read through the comments to see what others have had problems with and what process they used to resolve them.  As for ONP, I&#039;ve never used your service, yet good luck on getting all the kinks ironed out.

Sincerely,
The Closet Entrepreneur

		<description>If it is &quot;one of our subsidary companies&quot; that has been &quot;putting print jobs through..&quot; How would you know what it took to get to finish product and how long? or even if it finally was produced by OP?  Just a thought.</description>

		<description>So you think it is acceptable that I re-print the same graphic 2 times and get radically different colors?  In one case, yellow looks more like green.  In another case the colors are fine, but the folding is way off, not even straight.  Finally on the last re-print the colors look washed out, blue looks more like light sky blue but the folding is OK.  So I settle for the best of the 3.

Is it too much to expect that the same document would print out about the same every time you print it?

Is it too much to expect that the folding is proper according to the specifications that were published on the site?

Is it too much to expect that someone might take a look at the final output to see that the quality of the fold or the printing is just not right?

Is it too much to expect that the prints arrive without the same scratch on every print resulting from a bad or damaged roller somewhere in the pipeline?

In some cases, you put good stuff in but garbage comes out.  Have you ever thought of that?  

I am glad that the company you are talking about has had no problems, however, many of the people here would disagree.</description>

		<description>One of our subsidiary companies has been putting print jobs through Overnight Prints for several years, dozens of jobs a month, and have never experienced any problems that have not been resolved immediately and with a friendly attitude.  

Perhaps it would help to look into the mirror at your own approach toward the folks at OP before trying to second guess and criticize them.  You should also look at the quality of the artwork or lack thereof you submitted for production in the first place. 
They are printers, not miracle workers.  You know the saying...garbage in...garbage out.  Happens all the time on custom printed jobs.

If your expectations are realistic Overnight Prints is great.  Disputing the quality of the print job to justify disputing the bill is quite common on custom jobs of all kinds.  Some of the previous criticism sounds like it falls into this area.</description>

		<description>Before this week we were big fans of ONP and had never had a problem.  Then we ordered 5000 Brochures from them and all of them had orange and black color spots that were not on the proof.  Unfortunately, our client needed them now so we could not wait for a reprint even though we had called ONP and they offered to reprint them for free.  In our case we had 2 orders still outstanding when we got our first botched order.  The other two came in and both had errors.

The letterhead came in with white spots on the top where it looks like the ink skipped a spot.  About 15% of the postcards that came in also had white splotches on the back where it looked like the printer had tried to put down ink but wasn&#039;t able to.  

We contacted customer service who gave us the run around.  Due to the time sensitive nature of the postcards we could not afford to have a reprinted so we decided to take them as is.  We are using them in an direct mail campaign with an expiration date listed on them.  I asked for a refund since they did not want to reprint the letterhead.  A guy named Marcus hung up in the process of the transfer to the GET THIS &quot;customer retention dept&quot;  I am surprised they even bother with thier lack of quality control.  I had to call back and wait for another 30 minutes.  I asked to have the name of the president/ceo/or owner of the company so I could write them a letter outlining my problems with their company and the woman that I spoke with said she didn&#039;t know who the head of the company was.  Yeah Right like I am going to believe that.  They just don&#039;t want all the customer complaints.  

I will attempt to contact them via the marketing@overnightprints.com e-mail address and hope that this will reconcile the situation. If not I will file a dispute with Visa and the BBB.  

Yes the orders we have done in the past have been ok but I will never trust them with another order.  They will not receive my business again.</description>

		<description>I am so frustrated by my on-going headache with Overnight Prints!!!  I ordered some postcards for a marketing campaign from them on 9/11/07.  Today is the 17th of Nov. and my order is still wrong and I can&#039;t get a refund! First, I was informed that they were backed up and standard shipping was going to take a few weeks.  So, I upgraded to faster shipping.  The order still didn&#039;t come until a few weeks later.  Then when I opened the order it was wrong.  I called customer service, and after waiting on hold for 45 minutes, was told it was their printing error and they would re-print to correct the blurriness and the color.  I then had to wait for them to send me a shipping label, which took another 3 days.  I finally sent the 1st order back and after waiting again for a couple of weeks, the second order came. Go figure, the order was still wrong and looked the same as the first.  So, I call customer service and wait another 35 minutes on hold.  I finally get through and they transfer me to a voicemail for the returns supervisor.  I leave Aimee H. a message and wait 2 days for her to call me back (even though her voicemail says within 24 hours).  Then she leaves me a message and I call her back and she doesn&#039;t pick up.  Another 2 days goes by.  I finally talk to her today and she needs me to send back a sample of 10-15 of the second set of postcards to verify that the order was wrong.  She tells me that there was probably an error with the type of file I sent in the first place.  Once she receives these, she has to send another freakin shipping label, and even then I might only get credit.  I will never use Overnight Prints again and I don&#039;t want their credit!

DO NOT USE OVERNIGHT PRINTS!</description>

		<description>I just submitted an order yesterday.  I went with them due to their great website, decent prices, and I&#039;ve known people that were content with their services.  Now, running across this website, I am a little nervous.  I just receive my order by Tuesday, if I have any complaints, I will email Danny Kemp directly.

Next time, I will try printsmadeasy.

Ouch!</description>

		<description>I ordered 2 sets of cards from OP earlier this year and aside from a little lag time, didn&#039;t have an issue. It seems though that there are so many problems with them and even more every day. I will not use them again. I am going to look elsewhere for my printing needs. Unfortunate for them though, I was going to be quite a large client. They need to take a second look at what they are doing. One or two caring people can&#039;t carry an entire printing business.</description>

Fast and responsive, been using them since dumping OP. Even if you submit something to PME using your specs, if they see something that might cause you to be unhappy with the results they will contact you before they print it and give you suggestions! It&#039;s like having a &quot;buddy&quot; working at PME when dealing with PME! Talk about piece of mind now, PME has cut the worry and follow-up for me by 60% easy. I no longer have to worry about my own dumb mistakes screwing the order up ! I can&#039;t say enough about PME, their name says it all PRINTS MADE EASY !

PS and no I don&#039;t work for PME, and I sure as heck will not use anyone else anymore. Better sign off now...I could go on and on about PME saving me time and money.</description>
