Cards are printed in thousands.

Yes, however there are some exceptions. Send us your data by e-mail and we will let you know. The quality is very diverse in many cases. Keep in mind that the quality of the image depends on the resolution and the clarity of the image. A higher resolution image will usually produce a good sharp print.

Once I get my cards, can I print on them using a laser or inkjet printer?

Our customers often do this with great success. Our QSL cards, including lamino, are resistant to the high temperatures found in the fuser of laser printers. When printing with inkjet printers, you should try it first with one card to see if there are any issues. However, the vast majority of printers work just fine with our cardstock. Occasionally some types of printers will print a bit blurred. We can send you some free samples.

Will I need to pay for any customs fees or taxes when my cards arrive?

Packages to the EU do not have to be declared, all taxes are also paid. You will pay no more taxes upon receiving your QSL cards. In other countries there are usually no custom duties since these duties are rare. Levy of VAT by your country tariff is very individual and different.

Do you guarantee your QSL card orders?

Yes, you have up to twenty four months after your order is placed to bring up any issues about your order. If for any reason you are not satisfied, please contact us. However, this happens very rarely. We will address complaints case by case. If you have a legitimate problem with your card, such as misspellings, we will redo your order free of charge.
