Advantages: High quality print cards

Disadvantages: Don't send an email confirming the card has been sent

Bonus Print is a website (www.bonusprint.co.uk) that allows people to attach photos to different medium. By this I mean the ability to produce photos cards, mugs, t shirts and coasters among other things. The site is very similar to another site, that perhaps people may know about, which is Moon Pig.

So far the only type of product that I have purchased through Bonus Print is a card that was for Fathers Day. The only reason that I used the site for the first time was the offer that was shown on GMTV with Martin Lewis, with the offer of a standard size card for Fathers Day for the small price of 50p. For the price of 50p I thought that I would take the chance and order the card from Bonus Print, as otherwise the card would have cost £2.00.

The process that I went through to design the card was slightly different to that of a normal card on the site, as the card that I offered was on special offer. All I had to do was upload the picture that I wanted printed on the cover of the card and whatever writing I wanted on the inside cover. In all the process of designing the card and paying for the card took about five minutes, as it was simple and easy to do.

Straight after I had purchased the card I receive the confirmation email that the payment had been received. The only problem that I had with the site is that Bonus Print did not send out a confirmation email that the card had been sent out in the post. Although after looking through the internet, I found out that this seemed to be common practice by the company. Which is a bit annoying as you want to know if the card has been sent out or not. Although the card did arrive in time, as Bonus Print do state to allow up to seven days for the card to arrive, but within three days the card arrived, which I thought was fast.

The only comparison that can be made with Bonus Print to another site that offers similar products is Moon Pig, of what I know of. The only problem is that I cannot make the comparison because I have never used the Moon Pig website. Although I can state that that the card was of a high quality finish.

I would recommend the site to be used to send card, as the card can either be sent to your house so you can give the card personally, or if you cannot reach the person face to face, the card can be sent to their address. The reason that I would recommend the site is because of the quality of the print, and the fact that you can make the card as personal as you want, as you can use any print that you want. The only caveat to this would be to order the card over a week before the card is need to allow for enough time for the card to be delivered.

The only part of the site that I would recommend at the moment is the photo print card part of the site, as so far I have not ordered any other items from the card. But I am looking at other parts of the site, such as the t-shirt prints.

Summary: Well worth the price
