If you've never dealt with Kirill & his nifty QSL printing business before, get ready for a real treat --- we're talking here about honest-to-goodness personalized service, prompt work, attention to detail, first-rate quality, and (best of all!) VERY reasonable prices!

Believe me, you will NOT be disappointed. Kirill is simple THE BEST...!

Got my money back Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Further to my last... after a Paypal ruling in my favour, and a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, my money was finally refunded this week.

Paypal ruled in my favour this morning, although they said there's no money in the account to refund me. Oh well. That's two judgements against him by Paypal that I'm aware of.

I won't be using him again. I've decided to run with UX5UO for this.

I'm on my 4th batch of cards through QSL Canada (the name of the business run by VE3AXC). My first two batches of cards went very well, with Kirill offering helpful suggestions. Since I provide 300 dpi graphics to him, the work goes pretty easily, and I've been happy with the quality of the cards.

The third batch of cards was for a special event, and although I designed the card, someone else handled the transaction. I don't have all the details, but the process was described as "adequate". The cards were of good quality.

The most recent batch, however, has been a wholly unsatisfactory experience so far. It was difficult to contact QSL Canada as they don't seem to respond to email. When I finally did arrange an order and pay via Paypal, I was promised the cards would ship in 2-3 days. That was over a month ago. In that time I sent numerous emails and left telephone messages all with no response.

I went to paypal and raised a dispute, and 10 days passed with no contact from VE3AXC. As of this morning I have elevated it to a claim and will be trying to get my money back.

I guess the summary of my review is "used to be good, but watch out now..." I get the impression this is a second job for him, so maybe he doesn't have the time/energy to put into it that he once did.

Horrible quality control Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I don't think the poor performance is a recent phenomena. I bought 1000 custom color QSL cards from VE3AXC a couple of years ago, and the front picture was so over-saturated that the cards are absolutely gaudy. It was obvious that no quality check was performed, and they look so bad I've been embarrassed to send them out. No excuse for such sloppy work.

Great service at a fair price Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I am a repeat customer (over several years) and Kirill has always provided excellent product at a fair price. I will continue to place orders in the future. I have liked the quality and the order turn-around was very fast.

Good Value Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Kirill designed and printed a non-standard amount of cards at my request. A printing justification error caused a small percentage of the cards to not print properly. He reprinted and sent the cards that were faulty. The transaction took a bit longer than I would have liked, but in the end, everything was satisfactory.

Highly recommended! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
My regular supplier got out of the QSL business after 18 years, so I had to look around. I found Kirill’s website and liked the look of what I saw. I called him and we discussed the general layout, etc. Then we exchanged 2-3 emails, swapping minor modifications back and forth. We settled on a final version quite quickly and a week later I had the cards. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. Quality work, easy communications, and competitive prices plus a quality card! Full marks for Kirill, VE3AXC. Highly recommended!

Excellent, again! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
This is the 2nd batch of QSL cards I got from Kirill. I upgraded to Extra, got a 1x2 call, and Kirill helped me design my new cards. It took quite a few back and forth emails, with proofs attached, etc, till I got my design tweaked. Kirill was right on top of it all the way! The end result..the cards look great. Color front & back, with a photo I submitted of a Maryland Landmark, The Chesapeake Bay Bridge, on the front, and my photo & QSO info, etc, on the back. Got them in a week! Kirill delivers!
Try him, you'll like him.

Krill took care of me and helped get my cards from idea to finished product. Very very happy with the cards, super fast delivery. Great service and an excllent person to deal with. Will be back for more!!

Fantastic QSL cards ! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
QSL Canada is fantastic! Since changing my call sign I needed to have QSL cards made. After talking to several hams and some internet research, I came across QSL Canada. Kirill was an absolute pleasure to work with. I sent him a few jpeg images and he came up with some card layouts for my review. I went with an all color front and a color back. Kirill did a great job with printing my choice exactly, precisely, and timely. You can see my finished card on QRZ.com. I highly recommend Kirill. The quality , price and service were everything I wanted. So if you are looking for QSL cards check out QSL Canada. You will not be disappointed.
