Vistaprint Tote Bags

[Ploman]

My deluxe vistaprint bags come in on Tuesday, I'll let you know about the size then. 

 

I like vistaprint because they can ship from Canada so no duties for us living north of the border :-) I hope they're a good size

Love the bag, where did you get the design? I'm getting married on the Carnival Fantasy next July, I would love to borrow your design.

Not sure if you were talking about mine, but I just made mine on powerpoint.

 

Here is my template:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To upload it into Vistaprint, I just hit "Save As" in powerpoint, and then saved it as a .pdf from the drop down list. 

 

Oh I see that I had changed one of the stars to a wedding cake.... donno where that template went, but I think I just pulled the image from google... I didn't draw any of them. You can just delete the starfish and then copy and paste the wedding cake, or whatever other design you'd like.

is that vistaprint groupon based in the states?

[Ploman]

I think so, but so was the last one I ordered hehe. Since it's on online deal it works in Canada. 

 

I don't have them yet so can't be SURE, but it doesn't look like I will have to pay duty. My tracking # with UPS says it originated in Ontario.

 

Shipping to Edmonton for 10 deluxe totes was $11.

Older groupons used to say "Not Valid in Canada", but they don't seem to do that anymore. 

 

Here is an example of an old one that was limited to USA: http://www.groupon.com/deals/dc-bs1-vista-print-amarillo

Ya I thought I saw one of those older ones before. Im not sure if I should get this now or wait for another one. I just want it for my brochures and perhaps door hangers and some other little things but not sure if I will have it all designed before nov.

We got a whole bunch of the free ones... I used the same ones (different design obviously) before and they fit plenty. Maybe not huge towels, but t-shirts and some OOT items should be fine.

Well my Deluxe Vistaprint tote bags came in and I'm not super impressed. 

 

They are a much lighter fabric than I had hoped for, and a little smaller than I had hoped. They fit a lot, for example I put in a large beach towel, a bubba mug, a mens hat, and some goodies. But it's like a reusable grocery bag, so you have to take everything out to get to the stuff on the bottom. 

 

I will still use them for the wedding party's gift bags/ thank you bags, but I won't order them for the entire wedding group. 

 

If I received it, I would use the bags again for groceries and for carrying stuff in general, but wouldn't use it again as a beach bag. 

 

I would be really disappointed if I had bought them at full price ($16), but for $4 they are good enough!
