Ordered online for my 86-year-old Mom. Somehow the city and state didn't get selected for the checks. There was never an option for it that popped up and I feel that the website is flawed because there was no way to preview it before ordering. The order got placed anyhow and I paid for them. Received checks and they are indeed incorrect. Received a call that I just have to lose the money because it's my fault their website sucks. So, I'm out the money for the checks completely because they have kept it and refuse to refund any portion of it. I cannot pay for the same thing twice with this shifty company, so I will order elsewhere. How is that good business? I predict this company goes out of business soon. My advice is to order elsewhere. Current is very expensive and the quality isn't good anyway and most importantly their customer service policies are terrible. Just terrible. Shame on you.

I ordered the Personalized Oval Address Stamp from Current. It is JUNK! First of all, it does not print reliably each time - there are light areas where there is no printing almost every time I try to stamp something! And sometimes a big blob of ink comes out on the envelope! Also, it's a little stamp in the middle of a big stamper, with no markings on it at all to show you where to place the stamper on the envelope so that you print a stamp in the envelope corner! Save your money - don't buy this item, ever!

Very disappointed
August 25, 2020

Current catalog has been my primary source for greeting cards for over 40 years. I sent cards to all adult church members in our church. So I send a lot. I ordered cards and address labels on july 3rd. I have called to follow up on order. Depending who I speak with I am told a partial order is shipping or the most often is, the order is in process. Today, they don't even answer calls. Recording said to leave message. I suspect this will be my final order and Christian book will be my primary source for cards.

Horrendous customer service. No return or cancellations even though the item is not in stock. They accept orders for items that they do not have in stock with full knowledge that they cannot fulfill these orders before the applicable holidays. Save your money. Don't do it.

Holy cow
December 3, 2013

Holy cow -- can't believe that CurrentCatalog.com has not been reviewed yet. Current has been around for ages and sells cards, wrapping paper, stationary, and miscellaneous items. It's mainly known for the cards and wrapping paper.

This is place to go for cards, boxes &/or sets of cards: birthday, anniversary, baby, wedding, graduation, get well, thank you, etc.etc.etc. Good quality and the prices can't be beat. This is the way to stock up on cards and NOT have to go get a $5.99 card at a store!

The best wrapping paper around! Good quality, heavy paper and most have a cutting grid on the back!

Only thing is I think the shipping costs are over-priced. Always us a coupon! If you get on the mailing list you get a 20% off your order code 5 times a year plus lots of other savings and discounts.

Checks
October 30, 2021

Ordered checks on Oct. 11 2021. I ordered 4 boxes had them expedited. The associate I talked to didn't talk very good English. It was her first day of work. I was hesitant to place a order because of her lack of experience and because I couldn't understand her. I kept double checking to make sure she was understanding me. I received 1 box of checks. I paid 74.68. Kept waiting for my other checks never received them. Shipping was apparently 42.00. She didn't tell me that. I've been a customer for a long time will not order checks from Current again.

Check order
January 22, 2020

Ordered checks entered correct names and address. They sent me checks with partial names and no street address. Said it was my fault. So no refund. I know what my name and address is!
Will never order here again. Don't waste your money.

Disappointed
December 23, 2019

Placed my order on 4 December, seeing it was 5-9 business days to ship. Given the holiday period, I thought they would have plenty help in their warehouse. Called 14 Dec to check status; was told it would ship Monday 16th and that a couple of my items were now out of print. Actually shipped on 19 December and when I got the order, I didn't receive the personalized notecards I'd ordered. Poor Kristen Schwenke, whose cards I ordered, is probably not so happy either. Don't see myself ordering from them again. It was my first time and I'm not so satisfied. I will say the phone customer service reps were kind and helpful.

It appears it takes over a month to get product. Called customer service and they agreed. I would never have ordered from them if I had known it would take this long. Customer service said it says this on their site but I could not find anything that says it takes over a months to get product. I will never order anything from this place again. The lady at customer service was very rude.

I have tried to place the same online order over and over again. Order will not go. Get a confirmation #, but payment is not precessed or do I receive a confirmation email. Customer service says clear cookies and caches. Ridiculous! I order from numerous companies and have no problem. Heartbroken... ordered from here for years. I don't even want to get their emails anymore

Don't count on them!
December 5, 2017

I wish I had seen everyone's reviews before I placed the order. After order and expensive shipping, never got an email with a tracking number and the product did not arrive in 6-8 business days as promised. No replies to emails sent to the customer service email address. 12 business days later, the order arrives -- incomplete. Won't refund the difference, sending me replacements. I told them they aren't replacing anything -- I never received. No refund, I think they think maybe I am lying and really got the other labels. I did not. So the replacements are on their way. I'm told 5 business days. I'm not counting on them. They lost a customer for sure!

Refund Issue
October 22, 2015

I purchased from note pads from Current Catalog and I was disappointed in their small size when they arrived. I decided to return them for a refund. I was surprised to learn that I first had to get an authorization# from Current Catalog for the return. I sent two emails to them from right on their website requesting the authorization#. More than two weeks passed and I still did not hear from them so I finally had to contact them by phone. The attendant said the return had been approved and gave me the authorization#. What a hassle for just $12.99! It will be a long time before I order from them again!

Not only does the website not work but Current, when called will not honor the prices that are displayed on their website.
$1.99 cards on the website, are suddenly $4.49 when you call, isn't that illegal? Advertise one price and then charge a higher price. Look at sympathy cards, and the one labeled Kraft sympathy greeting. I have been a loyal customer for many, many years but no more.

Dishonest Advertising
October 25, 2018

I received a catalog advertising all orders over $50 gets shipping for $1.99. Also included in the catalog was a 25% off coupon. When I placed my order (for well over $100) I entered the 25% off code. They gave me the 25% off, but added $31.99 for shipping! Don't bother shopping here. There are plenty of other places who let you use the coupon they send you along with the shipping discount. Not only do they mislead you, but they rip you off.

34 Days for Shipping
November 30, 2018

I ordered Christmas labels, stickers and wrapping paper this year on November 14th. The company only ships by super slow snail mail, and the quoted date of delivery is currently Dec 18th. I contact customer (un)service with absolutely no help. They said they had no ability to ship this faster. So I won't be able to use them this year!

Update... customer service reps make all the difference... still no labels so I called cust serv again & discovered that Current is ending their shipping contract with DHL because of slow service. The rep checked USPS tracking for my pkg & discovered it's been delivered to my town, probably yesterday, and should be in my mailbox today. The customer service rep makes all the difference. Today's rep was polite, helpful, sympathetic and provided more info than yesterday's rep.

It has been 16 days since I ordered labels and I have still not received them! I emailed customer service 4 days ago and never heard from them. Finally had to call. Waited quite a while to talk with a rep who told me that DHL transfers pkgs to USPS in a hub (for me, NJ) and USPS is given 2 days to get it to the customer. When most retailers get packages to customers within days, Current is taking weeks! I have been a long-time customer but I will never shop at Current again. So disappointed.

I placed an order in February and when the box arrived, I found the quality of the contents unacceptable... poor quality of paper on greeting cards and flimsy box to hold cards. I returned the materials at my expense and now they say they haven't received my return. I will not purchase from this company again. Please beware.
