Great Card and Service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I received my cards in the mail today. I think the cards look great! He was right on with what I wanted, and I thought that I was going to be hard to please. I have had many other companies that would not or could not provide the service that he did.
Also, he was correct with the amount of time for shipping, two weeks and 1 day! Even with the shipping transient time to get here, the time to get my cards was much shorter than even some of the printers with a lesser quality card here in the States!

I will certainly use Sam's services again, and refer others to him!

Perfect Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have always wanted my QSLs to have a nice picture of the city or state where I live. I had toyed with the idea of buying pre-printed post cards showing Baltimore's Inner Harbor area and having a printer put the QSL info framework on the back. Fortunately, before I got around to something as expensive as that, I came across Sam's website. It contains beautiful pictures of every major city and state in the U.S. and from around the world. This is probably not a big deal to those familiar with digital photography, etc., who can take their own pictures, but to technological dinasours like me it is a real boost. You can see my / Sam's card at QRZ.com. Please rest assured that the actual cards are much more clear and sharp than the image at QRZ.com. Sam was a gentleman and efficient throughout the buying process. Now, if I can just live long enough to use those 1,000 cards ;-)

I'm very happy Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Over the years, I had noticed consistently high quality QSL's by QSLSHOP from numerous DX'ers and DXpeditions. A year or so ago, a friend asked me for recommendations for his QSL's. My prior printer was out of business, so I selected 10 of the best cards I had received in the past several years, including 3 from QSLSHOP. I asked him which cards he preferred from that batch and he, too, selected the QSLSHOP cards. I have received my order, as promised, in fine shape and am happy.

Excellent Service, Excellent Cards Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Everything that the previous posters have said holds true for me to. Sam was very responsive to my initial inquiry. I then placed an order, afterwhich he and I exchanged a half dozen emails regarding the different proofs I was considering. Once I gave him the go-ahead it appears that there was about a week in the printing process, followed by a week to get the order shipped. It then took 3 weeks to arrive here in Alaska (which I think is very reasonable for the mail system). The card selection that QSLSHOP offers is extensive and so I selected from that - although I believe they also do custom work. The shipping box and cards were well packaged for the overseas trip and arrived here in fine shape. They qualiity is first class. If you are looking for a QSL printer you will not go wrong with QSLSHOP!

Outstanding Quality! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I decided to have glossy QSL's printed but was a little hesitant to have them done all the way over in Germany. But the reviews on eHam convinced me otherwise. Sam of the QSL Shop promply sent proofs for approval. Of course, coming from Germany, I had to wait about 5 weeks for them to arrive, but when they arrived, I was very pleased with their quality. Also, Sam was very helpful in estimating their approximate arrival date. They had a huge variety of designs from which to choose. I will continue to deal with them in the future.

"AWESOME" QSL Cards!!! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
First of all, I was apprehensive about ordering QSL cards from so far away (Berlin, Germany). However, after coming to eHam.net and reading reviews on "The QSL Shop" I decided they were my choice.

Secondly, choosing my card stock was one of the best experiences. They have literally pages and pages of digital stock to choose from. The process was extremely easy, point, click and fill out a information form such as the general information you want on the front and back of your card. If you like, you can submit a photo for custom cards, however, I opted for the easier option.

Thirdly, Sam at The QSLShop sent me proofs in about 24 hours via email. After looking the card over and checking for mistakes I gave him concent to print. After a couple of weeks I received three cards in the mail and was floored at the superb quality. It took about 3 weeks after that for me to receive the order, considering US Customs and the over seas trip. I was aware of the wait prior to the order.

In conclusion, Sam at The QSLShop was very attentive to my emails, answering most with in his business hours in Germany; (keeping in mind the time difference). The quality was worth the wait. Yes I will do business with him again. Extremely professional and attentive to details. High gloss cards that will be placed in view in a hamshack, not stuck in a pile in some dark drawer.

Excellent! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
QSLShop has a wonderful selection, great service and value. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering from overseas but there was no reason to be.

I placed my order online, received proofs via email, made a couple of minor corrections and had my cards about two weeks later. The cards are high quality.

The service was great too. The website lets you "design" the card as you choose where to place your call, etc. I made my choices but when I received the proofs the design was different and much better. I happily approved the change.

I ordered 2000 cards and will reorder from QSLSHOP without reservation.
