bad customer service  Time owned: months
They never answer the telephone contacting them via e-mail is a joke It has been over a month and no cards. The last time I ordered cards from another company they were delivered within 2 weeks.

Ok for price  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I read the other reviews, but only after I placed my order.
I was worried so I emailed Kamco about printing/ ship time. Cards arrived in about 3 weeks.
I selected cards that display the state (Texas). Since I live close to the capital city (Austin). I expected, at the very least, this city would be marked. Other cities were, but to my surprise, Austin was not.
Because I'm on a budget, the cards needed to be cheap.
I mainly want them for card exchange on occasional DX QSO's.
Geographic location is important & a nice incentive to purchase these. Printing is ok & card stock is sendable.
So I'll give a 4 & not a 5.

zero quality control  Time owned: more than 12 months
I've used the Kamco cards for nearly 10 years and was always pleased with what I got for the money. Delivery time seems slow given the simple printing job--about 6 weeks--but they got the job done. On my last order, though, they got my call sign wrong, so I returned them. A few weeks later a replacement shipment arrived, but the entire batch of cards was printed off-center. Yuck! I'm lucky I only ordered a couple hundred cards this time, 'cause I threw them in the trash. Time to go shopping for a new QSL supplier.

Good for inexpensive cards.  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I received the cards in about 5-6 weeks after my online order. The cards had a rubber band around them and were packed with foam peanuts. They arrived in good shape with no bent corners.
Printing was nice and square with the card.
Card stock a little thin but sufficient. My only complaint was that my name and address should have been a little bit higher above the QSO information box. I sometimes want to put a computer generated label on the card and it is 1 inch high. Label tends to cover the bottom of my address unless I trim it first.
The cards weren't ordered to support QSO labels anyway, so I can't really complain. Very nice cards for the price and included my Grid Square and 10-X Number.

You get what you pay for  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
Well, I don't send out a lot of QSL cards, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money, or get a lot of them. These looked like the perfect purchase for me. After about six weeks, I got my shipment. Fisrt of all, the street address was spelled wrong, even thought the email confirmation had it spelled right. Also, the packaging consisted of a rubber band around the cards, with a few styrofoam peanuts. That, and the USPO handling, and all the cards were bent on at least one corner. After an email explaining the situation, I was promised a replacement order. These came in about half the time, but the printing is cock-eyed to the shape of the card. I guess the next time I'll spend a few extra dollars.

Budget QSL Cards  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
These are good cards for those just starting out or those on a budget.

I got some of them a few years back and have just ordered some more.

They came within the specified 3-5 weeks, were printed on kinda thin, but mailable (sans envelope) card stock and the printing was well defined.

They only have seven styles to choose from but they come in mixed colors.

Product was everything they said it was and the price is right !
