Mixbook

I ordered wedding invitations from mixbook. They have many, many choices and I found the customization process to be simple and user friendly! The prices are reasonable as well! They arrived much sooner than I expected (under one week) with only using standard shipping. I had originally ordered sample wedding invitations from shutterfly– but when they arrived after several weeks I was not happy with the color quality. The photo I used on the invitation with shutterfly had a distorted color– but the one with mixbook looked great, just like the original. I will definitely use mixbook again!

I just got back my wedding album that I spent several hours and a few days creating with Mixbook. It is absolutely beautiful. I love the lay flat pages, the photos look as great as the originals, and the layouts are perfect.
The site was easy to use and customize. They are so many options, so many backgrounds and stickers, it could take you weeks to go through them all. What a fantastic and fun hobby.
Shipping was fast and they include a nice box to store the album in. I got the 12×12. I’m so happy with the finished product, I can’t wait to create another.

Possibly should be 2 stars. I’ve successfully used Mixbook in the past and find it way easier to navigate than Snapfish and Shutterfly, BUT this year has been a nightmare. I ordered cards December 10 and they arrived the 22^nd. The huge issue was that on December 17, a neighbor with mild dementia and major angst with Snapfish, wanted to order cards with Mixbook since Snapfish was totally unresponsive to his current order. So he came over and placed an order with Mixbook on my computer (I have PC and he has Apple computer so couldn’t help him on his Apple.) A few days later in checking on the status of my Dec 10 order Mixbook had deleted my address totally and replaced it with the neighbor’s, my name was replaced on MY credit card with his name, and tracking the order was impossible. All I got from customer service were canned replies. Horribly irritating experience. One has got to wonder/​worry about the security of personal information, especially switching names on credit cards one week after placing an order. I requested that my concern be moved to management level for review — another canned reply.

I’ve made eight Mixbook travel photo albums over the last six years, including one last year and one a couple of weeks ago. I am happy with the options, and the ease with which I can add photos, backgrounds and text. Yes, it does take some time to get used to the way the program works, but that is true for all programs. This one is not very difficult; I am using Safari on a two year old Mac. People who have seen my finished albums are really impressed.

this is a decent product — when you compare ease of use and price vs. Costco or Shutterfly. I did run into a few issues however with browser compatibility (on a new macbook with safari), so users should be careful there. they seem to be still working out some bugs in the interface.
However, like so many new online service companies, I am rating them low because of an over abundance of deceptive marketing emails they sent to me once I completed my first book.
The latest («40% off everything» — CODE LBD40, order by Labor Day) of course did not apply to the book I picked out (Montage) and spent an hour online putting it together.
