I ordered custom printed gifts for Christmas on the 9th of December ($300 worth) and paid for overnight shipping. I assumed with the processing time (3-5 days) at worst I should have received my order in 6 business days. 13 business days later and I've received nothing. I've emailed their customer service and have never received a response, called and left a voice mail with no return call, and...

I am now 10 business days out and it looks like my order is still printing (according to their webpage). I have called and left messages 4 different times and have not had the courtesy of a return call. I have also left emails...

After reading everyone else's experiences, I get the impression that trying to call is just going to be a waste of time. At no point in the...
