Superb work Time Owned: more than 12 months.
August 2021: I ordered another 2000 cards from The QSL Shop. Once again, they are excellent. When placing the order, I was notified that there was now an option to have some color on the back of the card. Sabine was again a big help in making a few changes to my card. Excellent work, highly recommend.

This company not only provides an outstanding print job, but their design people will also help you to produce a great looking, custom designed card. This is now my 3rd order from The QSL Shop. This last order had some major changes and all was done timely and perfectly. I could not be happier. Sabine works with you via email to make sure the card is exactly what you want. Two custom photos on the front with a custom designed back was no problem for them.

excellent quality and service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After sending out about 2000 cards printed on a colour laser, I thought it was time to get "real" cards, and after three years of radio activity, I knew precisely what I wanted on my card (twin QTH, space for multiple QSOs, etc.).

I first checked out the reviews on eham.net, but I did not find them helpful at all - every QSL printer gets a score of 5, except those who ran away with the money and did not deliver. I don't think these review reflect reality.

I then had the brilliant idea to browse through my pile of received cards. I realized I had received cards from many of the printers mentioned on eham, and there are quite some differences which allowed me to rule out a number of printers straightaway.

There's a top category - like UX5UO or qsl-shop - and then there are second rate products (which I won't mention), slightly cheaper but of lesser quality, either in terms of paper used, glossiness or simply print quality.

I eventually went with qsl-shop, and am very happy with the result. First they went through many iterations with me, as I had a number of special requests for my card's back side. They turned my vaguely formulated wishes into a well designed template, which I am very fond of. The front side - based on a picture I took last year while bicycling through my city - was easy for them, they produced two versions which both pleased me.

The cards arrived well packed, neatly stacked, and are just plain beautiful. (I present my excuses to all amateurs having received my old card; just send an email and I send my new one) I ordered 5000 during their end of year special, which comes at an extremely attractive price point. I highly recommend qsl-shop.

2020 update: For a special call sign activity, I placed a second order with QSLSHOP. I had only a vague idea, but no clue on how to design the layout. Within three iterations, Sabine came up with a very convincing design. They now also offer color back sides for no additional money, and I find that this adds to an already very competitive offer.

Great cards and service Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I am going to order a second printing of 1000 QSL cards from QSL.SHOP because of the great quality and service. The website makes it easy to provide your information and select graphics. Then the QSL.SHOP " fine tunes" the graphics layout, and with your approval, provides a really sharp looking and sturdy card with a glossy front with colored back. The cards were well packed for shipping and arrived from Germany in perfect condition.

Great product and service. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This was my second order for QSLs from the QSL Shop. They did an excellent job of corrdination with me on what I wanted and the final product is really first class. Shipping coordination and time to delivery were as they communicated to me. I will order again, from them, when I need more cards.

Top Quality QSL Cards & excellent customer service Time Owned: more than 12 months.
The folks at QSL-SHOP provide beautiful custom QSL cards at a reasonable price. Their service attitude is what really stands out to me: Great suggestions for fine-tuning card design, prompt e-mail communications, and professional follow-up after I received the shipment to make sure of my satisfaction. I have dealt with a lot of QSL printers over the years, and QSLSHOP is at the top of my list of recommended printers!

Great Quality, Fair Prices, Excellent Customer Service! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is the third time I am re-ordering my existing QSL from QSLShop. The quality is excellent and the service is outstanding.
It initially took about six weeks for my new batch of 6000 QSLs to go from confirmation of order to arrival in NYC. (Order split into two shipping boxes, but one got delayed.)
QSLShop responded immediately (e-mail) to my concern in trying to track down the second box (which took an additional four weeks stuck in NY customs!). Compliments to QSLShop representative Sabine, DL3KWS, for all her help-very caring person.

I recently received my order of 7000 custom design QSL cards from "The QSLSHOP" (www.qslshop.com) in Berlin. At first I was a little hesitant to use an overseas printing company, but after getting so many QSLs from DXers which were printed up by this company, I decided to contact them myself.
My final cards came out great! The QSLSHOP was able to reproduce the color postcard I sent them of the NYC skyline, but included my small changes (such as adding the "Big Apple" logo for "New York City," etc.) The back of the card was done very professionally. All of my clip art logos were reproduced and positioned exactly where I requested them. The card stock is good quality and should last indefinitely.
The order took about two months to get from initial submission to bulk delivery in NY. That time includes FedEx submittal of my artwork and disks (first sent them the info e-mail, but also wanted them to get a hard copy of design), and several "go-arounds" via e-mail, before the "proofs" got my OK. The total cost for my full-color custom card (including shipping from Berlin to NY) was about 5.3 cents/card...a great deal!
Excellent customer service, very professional staff, and a superb job! As the label says on their boxes "The Best Takes A Little Longer" and "Well Worth The Wait."
Work me on the air and I'll send you out a QSL card so you can see for yourself! 73, Ed K2MFY

Excellent Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have ordered 4000 V73CW QSLs dating back to 2001 and many DXers who received my QSLS for V73CW/V7G can attest to their quality. I will be placing another order soon for my own AC4G QSL cards.
