Magnet Street

CHEAP PRODUCT — BE AWARE!
We ordered through this company based on the magnent samples they sent us. What we got was totally different. It was grainy, dark and CHEAP.
It blew my mind when Andrea Runions, the Quality Control Specialist asked me to send them a magnet which cost me $ 4. For quality control don’t you think they should have saved a sample magnet just incase something like this happens? After wasting my time and money they came back to me saying they don’t see anything wrong and that my computer screen is calibrated differently so the picture is lighter on screen. I am a graphic designer and I know what I am talking about. She sounded clueless and pretended to sound like she knew what she was talking about.
So they did offer me a full refund but at my own expense. I have to pay an extra $ 20 to send it back to them? How ridiculous is that. They lure you in with nice samples but in reality they give you crappy product. Shame on them.
No one should ever buy from them.

I was overall disappointed with my experience with Magnet Street. The invitations I ordered were not crisp and clean in the edges and corners, and the return address labels arrived bent and unusable. They did send more return address labels, free of charge, which was a major plus but it still didn’t make up for the poor quality items. The absolute control I had over the design kept me coming back to them for the invites, which is why I ended up using them. I probably wouldn’t recommend them to a friend.

I ordered my magnet save the dates and Magnetstreet delivered an A+ product. We are so happy with the whole experience. The ordering was a breeze and they were shipped earlier than expected. Thank you Magnetstreet!

I want to let everyone know that I ordered 210 Pocket Classic Allure invitations for $ 778 and I even had them do Expedited Delivery because it was only a month and a week before the wedding.
Not only were all of the invitations discolored, badly printed and color-​stained, but i only got 175 invitations and they were NOT here on time. Even when i sent them samples of the awful invitations (which i paid $ 30 for rushed delivery), they told me i needed to send every single one of them back in order I get my full refund. I don’t have time or the money to send every single one of them back in rushed delivery. My wedding is in 3 weeks!
Worst customer service and worst product i have ever gotten in my life. I went to Staples and got amazing low-​cost invitations. This place is awful. Absolutely awful.

I have been ordering Sport Magnetic Cards from Magnet Street since 2007. I live in a suburb of Chicago and we have 2 Baseball Teams: Chicago Cubs (north side) and White Sox (south side). Magnet Street offers both teams on the same magnet. The schedule easily fits into a size 10 business envelope. You can purchase matching baseball envelopes announcing the arrival of the schedule to your mailing sphere.
I get compliments from many of my clients, thanking me for the schedule. It’s a quick look to see who is playing in Chicago on a particular day. Because the baseball season begins in April and ends in September, it’s 6 months of advertising for me.
You can usually find a discount if you order the schedules before the season starts, thereby helping absorb most of the shipping cost.
My clients look forward to receiving them each year!

I had attempted to find a free template from various websites to save on the miscellaneous costs of the wedding details, but I kept encountering annoying format hiccups and a lack of elegance. I selected the Gate-​fold Programs, Classic Allure for the wedding brochure, and I was not disappointed.
I opted to buy one to test its quality and readability. High marks on both fronts. I was even called by a friendly representative when I had included a special designer note that no longer applied (I had forgotten). Once we cleared up the request, this individual had the order out the door for shipment.
The design interface was intuitive. MagnetStreet would offer a few sale codes here and there, yet it is not a small expenditure for customers. Mind you, we all have different thresholds of acceptable costs. But if you want the sense of refinery without the worry that it looks cheap, opt for MagnetStreet.

I had the best experience for my daughters wedding. We made programs and menu’s. I found the web sight very easy to use and navigate, and it was very easy to customize and proof. the turn around time was very fast as I expected it to take longer. I didn’t order a sample, but the quality exceeded my expectations. I had a self inflicted malfunction and to tell you the truth the representative could not have been more accommodating and NICE. I would not only recommend them highly, but would surely use them again in the future.

I’m giving this company a 2 and not a 1 because I don’t have a graphics background so it made it more difficult for me to work with them. Plus, their customer service was great (at first).
I really thought this would be the company to print my save-​the-​date magnets but after 1 full week of back-​and-​forth with the photo upload, I had to look for another company.
I found their website challenging to work with since you can’t actually see the bleed areas for the photo. I uploaded my photo approximately 4 – 5 times and kept getting a call back (the reps were pleasant) that it wasn’t the right sizing, which confused me because the sizes they specified were what we sent. Instead of having their designer explain where we went wrong, I was emailed a set of generic instructions. After speaking with Gina Frechette and having her crassly tell me «We get these orders all the time and the people that upload them, do so *correctly* so we don’t have this issue,» I politely thanked her for her time and knew I had to look elsewhere.
I called New and Blue this morning and it took them all of 1 hour to call me back and give me practical and useful advice for measurements that would enhance the photo magnet I’m trying to achieve. The order is now placed and I’m happy to give New and Blue my rather large order.
As a woman who has her master’s degree in business, a word of advice to you is: In cases like mine, it may be of value to allow the customer to speak directly with the designer (as New and Blue did — and it only took about 2 minutes) rather than a week’s worth of back-​and-​forth with the middlemen who have, admittedly, limited graphics background. Lastly, I understand that allowing your customers to actually see their uploaded image with the bleed would may cut into your $ 25 fee to have a team member assist, and this may cause a bit of cannibalization for your business model, but in some cases such as mine this is a waste of money when the file is already designed and your competitors will do so for FREE. Please take this as useful advice. Your company seems to be doing well, so that is a good reflection on your part but New and Blue was able to do all of this free of charge and with much less fuss.
Cheers and be well.

I ordered my wedding invitations, ceremony programs, and dinner menus from Magnet Street and could not be more pleased with what I received. I loved how I was able to fully customize my colors, font, spacing, layout, etc. Many of their competitors allow limited customization. With Magnet Street you can spend the necessary time designing your invitations how you want. I was so happy I was able to fully customize my color with exact percentages of hue to match my wedding colors.
I ordered my invitations first and they were beautiful. I ordered the Forever Yours line with the tri-​fold bottom pocket. I got many compliments on them. I ordered them in the fine linen, however also received samples in the shimmer paper. Both were really great quality paper.
When I had questions or concerns, Sue was able to help. When I ordered my programs and menus afterwards, I was kind of cutting it close with my need-​by date. When I gave Sue a heads up, she monitored my order to make sure I’d have them in time, and I did. Thank you Sue!
For the quality, service, and customization, the invitations and stationary were a great price — plus I was able to save some money with coupon codes!
I’ve already recommended Magnet Street to a friend getting married later this year. I plan to use them in the future.

I ordered my wedding invitations through Magnet Street last November. I initially chose them because they had a good selection at a very reasonable price compared to other sites. I chose the «Carved in Love» design and ordered my free sample. It arrived promptly and just the way I had designed it.
I spent a lot of time using their online customization tool and it is simple. I ordered 90 pocketfold invitations, complete with stickers, inserts, and even a map printed on the back. They arrived 10 days later, in a very neatly packaged keepsake box, and just the way I imagined. They even included some extra envelopes and invitations– I’m very grateful for those!
For the price, Magnet Street invitations are fantastic! I highly recommend ordering some samples if you are looking for wedding invitations. Several of my wedding guests even complimented our unique invitations.

We just got our invitations yesterday when we only ordered them last Thursday. I am very impressed at the turnaround time of printing and shipping. Invitations are excellent quality and were very reasonably priced. Magnet Street’s online customization process is very easy to use and their customer service and general business practices CRUSH Invitations by Dawn, who can’t even get a sample out within a month apparently. If you need invitations or any of the other products they offer, make sure to use this company. The only thing that was odd (not bad) was that the count was off and kind of all over the map. We weren’t shorted anything, but there was no real consistency to the amount received for each item.

I had high hopes for MagnetStreet since most of the reviews seemed pretty okay. I ordered my Save the Date magnets and received them 8 business days later… pretty quick turnaround so I was pretty pleased. Much to my disappointment, they were not my magnets. They switched my order with someone else’s. So I promptly called the service line since I needed the order by the weekend and they informed me that although they would be unable to fill my order by the weekend, they would have it to me by the beginning of the following week as they would expedite the order. I thought this was pretty reasonable so I agreed. By Wednesday of the following week I still had not received my magnets so I called customer service again. They informed me that when this «typically» happens, the turnaround is not that fast as they have to start the process from the beginning so they don’t know when they can guarantee the shipment (or why anyone would tell me I would receive them soon) but would call me the next day to let me know the status. I never received a follow up phone call. I just waited for the magnets until the week after I called them for a status check when I finally received them… with NO envelopes! Terrible service! I really needed additional magnets, but I’d rather start over with another company than to place a reorder with this one!

We ordered our wedding invitations, save the date magnets, and the memo board wedding favors through Magnet Street. They arrived quickly and the quality was superb. Everyone commented on how beautiful they were. We just had our wedding a couple weeks ago and our guests absolutely loved the favors, some people asked if they could have another one or two, luckily we ordered extra. The price for everything was reasonable and once you see the quality of the product you know your money was well spent. I will definitely use Magnet Street again in the future.

I ordered mini-​Save-​the-​Date Magnets from Magnet Street in December 2011 and am finally getting them sent out this week. YAY!
I love the design that I chose called «Waking Beauty»:
I’m going with an orchid theme & my colors are purple, fuchsia & lime green. I chose their colors based on the names and went with Eggplant, Azalea and Kiwi. It was easy to personalize the design with my colors and I love the «Scriptina» font that our names are in. Unfortunately on the carrier cards, the «eggplant» color looked black on the «azalea» card… but it’s not a huge deal, so I didn’t worry about it.
The only thing I would change is that I wish there were more options on the envelopes. No choice in envelopes, so I got white with a silver lining. I’m not really a silver person, but it’s just Save-​the-​Dates (not as important as invitations) so it’s not a big deal.
No problems with ordering and I was able to get coupon codes for 20% off and free shipping. I will probably order my invitations to match, but I’m not sure yet.
I love that you can order samples from them with a whole catalog and work on different designs and save them to your account. It allows you to see what colors look good together and how your wording and design will actually look. :-)

MagnetStreet is WONDERFUL! I ordered my (tri-​fold) wedding invitations, RSVP cards, and thank you cards from MagnetStreet and they were amazing! The quality of the paper and the ink is top-​notch! My fiancé and I both were very pleasantly surprised when we got our hands on our stationary. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I also contacted MagnetStreet with questions about customization and the customer service that I received was excellent – prompt and friendly replies.
The only con was that the website was a little difficult to use (maybe it was my computer, but the program made it run really slow) and at first I was bummed that I couldn’t exactly customize it the way I wanted (text placement, etc.), but all I had to do was write my comments about any other changes that I wanted upon ordering and they were made.
My fiancé and I did initially get sticker shock upon seeing how much our order was going to cost, but when we received our order and saw the quality of the product we were all smiles and were very happy that we used MagnetStreet.
I would definitely recommend this vendor!

Magnetstreet is great! I ordered photo booth Save the Date magnets back in January for my September 2011 wedding, and I received excellent service. I emailed questions about the items I was interested in and received very prompt and helpful responses. The website was easy to use, and I loved that you were able to fully customize whatever you were ordering. The prices were excellent, especially for the quality of the products and how quickly you receive your order. I ordered a customized sample save the date and received it within 9 days of placing my order, and when I placed my final order of 150 save the dates, I also received them within 9 days of placing my order. I was very surprised by how quickly I received them and was pleased with the quality of the pictures on the magnet. I was very happy with how the magnets turned out — they were even better than I expected! They looked exactly like what I created on the website and were just what I was looking for. Creating and ordering my save the dates from Magnetstreet was such an easy, quick and enjoyable process, and I would definitely recommend this website!

Fantastic service! The printed colors matched those shone online; quick printing and shipping, and they included any extras that were produced free of charge. Easy to find coupons online for discounts. Great paper and envelope quality for invitations.
Word of advice: their sizes are correct but be sure to double check which size product you’d like to purchase. Comes as noted on site.
