Great Cards Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I have just received my cards from QSL Shop and have to say they are brilliant. The cards are excellent quality and very good value.
I choose one of the many cards from 'digital stock' where I had a hard time choosing from the many great designs.
The cards arrived quickly (about 2 weeks after I placed the order).
All in all a great job.

Very nice cards Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Nice to do business with these guys. Two days after sending my order I received a proof by e-mail and after few remarks the cards were pressed and within 2 to 3 weeks I had my cards at home. Very nice quality ! Also the the next time my cards are 'out of stock' I will order at qsl-shop.com !

Best in the Business Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I will always use the QSLSHOP for all my QSL printing needs. Sam is just First Class and has the patience of a saint. This is the only place you need to know for QSL.

Great Service! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Like a lot of people I was hesitant about ordering QSL cards overseas. I'm glad I got over that hesitation!. The QSL shop did everything I wanted at minimum amount of time. Sam kept me advised of everything and made several helpful suggestions via email.The cards arrived on time and exactly what I had ordered.

Great Cards Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I got more than reasonable service, even though I placed my order over the Christmas holidays. And what can I say about the cards - I get unsolicited comments about my card on the back of the QSL cards I get back.

Will I do it again? YES

Excellent Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This business does everything they say they will do. You will get to set up your QSL card, in a couple of weeks get to preview it and make any changes. I also was a little hesitant because it was overseas, but e-mail eliminates the worry. They answered every e-mail I sent. In the end, you will find the cards are worth the wait. Very nice job, very nice looking cards, and very impressive. Far cry from some of the junk others try to get you to accept. R Sweat KN4AG

Excellent service,quality product Time Owned: N.A.
Was a little hesitant at first because the order and money was going over seas,but,the service and the quality of the QSL cards I received was in my opinion,unmatched right here in my country. I would not hesitate to reorder.I highly recommend Sam Simmons as a person and as a business man. I have had my ticket since 1945 and have ordered many cards over the years,but QSL shop has them all beat,they will be my only source of cards from here on. Dick Mc Cullough W1SRR

Great cards, excellent service Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I was originally reluctant to place an order with an overseas printer, but decided to place an order with QSL Shop after reviewing their web site and the reviews on eham.net. My experience was outstanding.

I chose one of the stock photos for the card and placed the order in January. Sam's response was quick and clearly indicated an ease to deal with. After two e-mails back and forth, the final design of the card was completed. I just received the cards yesterday, and they look outstanding - the nicest cards I have ever ordered.

The whole process took about 5 weeks (but Sam was away for the first week). It was definitely worth the wait, and the price (at $12 US per 100 cards) cannot be beat for the quality of the final card!!

I did provide Sam with an alternative e-mail address given the reported problems with AOL spam filters - I was glad I did, as he had his e-mails returned to him about 50% of the time. That was the only difficulty experienced, but with the alternate e-mail address, it did not delay anything more than a day at most.

Overall, I would give QSL Shop 5+/5 and would easily deal with them again!!

Second order as good as the first Time Owned: more than 12 months.
My first order was over three years ago and my experience was very good. I naturally came back. Once again they did a first rate job and the cards are beautiful.

We did have some trouble getting emails with attachments through AOL's anti-spam filters but QSLSHOP picked up the phone and called when they didn't hear from me. When I switched to a non-AOL address, there was not a problem. So, if you do not get a quick response, it may be your ISP or your anti-spam and not them.

Turnaround time including shipping from Berlin was a couple of weeks and some of that was wasted by the missed email. I think it was very reasonable. and the cost can not be beat. If you are willing to buy 1000 cards, you can get a beautiful full color postcard for the same price that so-called "cheap" company charges for their basic card.

Earlier 5-star review posted by K4IA on 2001-10-23

I can't say enough good things about this company. I picked one of their full color stock photos and added my own design and card back. Very quick email responses as we refined the design. The cards were delivered to my door in just shy of four weeks. They spent 2 weeks in transit and I have to wonder if part of that wasn't due to the disruptions in mail service.

The cards are beautifully done and A1 quality. I am very pleased.

Quick, High Quality and Easy to deal with! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just moved to Florida and needed some new QSL cards. After a bad experience with Octavia, I liked what I read in the reviews with The QSL Shop. On 11/2/2004, I sent an order. A short time later Sam sent me a proof to approve. I made a couple of small changes and OKd the proof. I did use one of Sam's Digital Stock which saved some time as I received 2,000 plus QSL cards last week. That's outstanding!!!

Even with the dollar difference with the EURO, the QSL cards are worth it.

Sam, Thanks...you did a SUPER job.
