SmileBox

Discovering Smilebox.com was a great opportunity to start designing new ways to share family photos. Their site was easy to use and offered so many cute ways to present photos or videos that could be sent to friends and relatives. Their monthly/yearly subscription isn't too bad if you do a lot of design work or wish to use social networking sites. Easy to use, options are many, and fun, delightful results.

Beware - they are charging you for the full year even though the ad says it's monthly. No free trials. I thought I was paying $5 to give it a try and - ta-dam - I have a charge of $59.99 for the full year on my card! I contacted them 3 times and absolutely no response. The quality is extremely low - you cannot see whom you shared your postcards with after sending them. It creates a new duplicate every time you open it, not even make changes. So, the service is not even usable for my needs. Trying to create a case and get a refund through my bank now. Stay away from these fraudsters!

Smilebox is a great tool. I have had this for many years and recently went from a PC to a Macbook. The transfer was easy, no glitches, and my previous cards were loaded to my Mac. Their support service is friendly and very helpful. It has all the cards, occasions, photo books, scrapbooks, postcards, etc. that you will ever need.

As an artist I have always loved using Smilebox... they have so many different designs that sometimes it's really hard to make a choice... so... I usually just take several and work with them to get what I want... I've used them for all kinds of cards... did an invitation for a reunion for some folks, I've done birthday cards and Christmas cards that come out so very nice and the colors are beautiful... I would recommend Smilebox over any other site and believe me I have checked out quite a few over the years... check it out and you will love it too... Maggie

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD. Need I say more? Their close to 700 positive reviews is probably the bs company. They don't have customer support, they give no confirmation bill after you sign up, if you cancel your card after 1 mth, they charge your credit more than 3.99. They make no sense. First they wrote 1.99 per month, then 3.99, then 6.99, and after all this they charged my card 25.50. I don't know how I fell into this, maybe i'm misunderstanding something, but take the evidence of these reviews for your own good.

The program was easy to use, however there is no indication when you have used a photo, so when working on a big project it becomes very hard to keep track and you end up using pictures twice and some not at all.

In the beginning, they were great! There was simply nothing out there that did the things Smilebox did - and so easily, too. Now? Years later, the selection has grown to an amazing degree, and the topics covered run the gamut! The artists are all so talented, thinking of how to put things so much better than I can, but making it easy for me to use their work, and just add my own photos to bring the 'card' to life! It's more than a greeting card, not quite a pure video, or even a static album or memory holder... it's all that, and more.

The subscription price for the year is well worth it. I've actually saved more money than spent because I no longer buy greeting cards. I make a Smilebox special greeting, save it to CD, put on a cute label and off it goes, in the mail, in it's own little plastic holder, and wrapped in a CD mailer! PERFECT!

Smilebox has earned it's name in my family. Everyone loves getting the CDs and now, lots love making their own!

For years I have enjoyed sending ecards from smilebox. Great assortment from birthday invitations to christmas cards and anywhere in between. Smilebox creates a canvas where I can create my masterpiece. I love when family and friends reply with comments. For those who haven't used it give it a try, you wont be disappointed.

Smilebox uses predatory, unethical and dishonest billing practices. If you want to cancel your "Trial" subscription, even after one day after their trial time period ends, they will automatically charge your bank account without notification for a full year's subscription. They charged me $51.47 without any authorization or recourse. Refunds are absolutely refused and they do not provide any telephone customer support. If you want to throw your money away and receive nothing in return, go ahead and try Smilebox. In the meantime, they steal your money and laugh all the way to the bank.
