The card and envelop (unlined) need extra postage. For a standard holiday card with an unlined envelop - this seems unusual.
I have used this company for many years. The cards are excellent quality and the service is fast.
The card was beautiful but there was no mention of the fact that this card with the envelope weighed over the one ounce mailing limit and thus required additional postage. This may not be a deal breaker but the webpage should at least have warned about this additional cost.
Cards Direct's website is user friendly, easy to maneuver. I am very pleased with the quality of the product, card weight, etc. I have used them numerous times in the past and will continue to use them in the future.
Next year I am going to order a smaller card with thinner envelopes. The card was not as pretty as the picture and the envelopes were so thick that it took extra postage to mail 400 cards out. I ordered what was recommended and won't do that again. On the positive side, shipping was fast and accurate.
