Thanks for the great work Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I got the cards yesterday (Tuesday). They look GREAT!

I was apprehensive before I opened the box. It had been raining, plus we
had 6" of snow/ice on the ground. The UPS driver put the box between the
storm door & the front door. To say that the cardboard box was a little
soggy would be an understatement. But the cards inside were fine, slightly
damp, but not damaged at all. WHEW!!!

Thanks for the great work & super delivery time.

Hmmmmm... : - \ Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
A bit spotty, really. The Special Event Station cards (which I pretty much formatted to the final version myself) turned out great - and they were part of discount offer. My own personal QSL cards, however, had an error or two in them after my submitted design was ehanced by Kirill. (It was a nice enhancement, though!) I don't know if it was the printing company error or what. He was great to work with upfront, but I haven't heard back from him after I pointed out the error in my QSL cards. I'll update this review if I receieve further feedback from VE3AXC.

Expected better Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Well first off in all fairness to Kirill he did replace my order as the first batch of cards went missing in the mail. For my second set I took a close up picture of my FT920 with my call in the alpha-numeric display and designed the card around this. The omni-glow display of the 920 really stood out and I was hoping for the same on my card. Unfortunately the cards came out dull and very lacking of color, not anything like the sample picture. Also the top left corner where I had placed a maple leaf suffered severe cropping to the point of cutting into the leaf. Had this been brought to my attention I would have resized the image accordingly. I truly believe these are problems from the printers side and not Kirills, however finding these faults when the cards arrive is too late in my opinion.

Top Notch Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I designed my own card, using a picture if found on the internet, and i got 1000 made up. The service was quick, great email communication, and i got exactly what i wanted. The cards are great quality and the picture appears just like on the computer.

Good deal Time Owned: N.A.
Kirill's a good guy to deal with. Total cost for color photo cards was just under 11 cents a card for 3000 cards. They look great. Fast turnaround, and Kirill has good design ideas. So work me and get a sample! Will be buying more cards again when the supply is depleted.

Good Design Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.

The positives:

Kirill has a a good eye for graphic design even though he claims to be a printer not a designer. I simply gave him some jpegs and gifs and told him what generally I liked and he came up with a card that really stood out. I had already ordered a basic card from one of the eastern european printers but went ahead with the order to QSLCanada in addition because of the great design.

The card stock is good and has a quality feel to it. The card stock was a very small bit heavier than the eastern european cards I got.

The negatives:

The only negative is the price is much higher than the eastern europeans. But when you break it down its like this 12 cents per card plus 24 cents US postage gives 36 cents per QSL. vs 6 cents per card, 24 cents US postage gives 30 cents per QSL for the cheaper cards. So I say You decide?

I don't send out hundreds of cards from dx-peditions or from rare dx stations. For me if I send out 3 cards per day thats 18 cents difference not a big deal.

Superb photo prints Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Just like one of the previous posters, I am a photographer. After reading the post describing a negative experience printing photo cards, I was a bit nervous. As it turned out, my concerns were unfounded- the prints are sharp and color accurate to the extent possible on a non-photo printer. Will not hesitate to order again.

My first custom card Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Kirill spent quite a bit of time with me to get the design just the way I wanted. He took my ideas and theme and designed a wonderful card. The front is viewable on qrz.com and the biography portion explains the theme of the card. I feel he offers good value for the money, and his service is excellent.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH VE3AXC Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I have ordered qsl's of the highest quality several times from Kirill. This time we had a snafu at the bank. He STILL completed order and his patience and expertise will go unquestioned.
I will continue to order from VE3AXC and have recommended his service many times
