jerseygirl Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 FWIW - artscow.com warning from another post here http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=123002
Ginny123 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 "server is busy" thanks for the heads up about this company. it doesn't take but one bad review about someone's credit card being charged mysteriously for me to say "forget it."
oglitterkittyo Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 The good thing about Artscow though is that they take Paypal. I've placed tons of orders and never used a credit card on their site, so I don't worry about mysterious charges from them.
Jen1717 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 so wouldnt it be best to order your items separate......for example, place an order for the dog tags, then come back later and place an order for the ornaments? or am I missing something?
jeninpa Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Just FYI, I have ordered from them and had no problems. That was over 3 months ago.
tlock1945 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I started the warning thread, but I have ordered from them also without problems. I think if you pay with paypal, it is more secure. I don't like how they save your payment info. I never add my debit card as default payment on any site. I just wanted people to be aware it has happened and if you order, to check your statements.
inluvstill Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Thanks for the warning, I will keep a close eye out for any unusual charges, but I do that anyway. A girl I work with never checks her statements or bills....she just pays them.

nawlinslady1970 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Made my order on Oct. 30 and recieved them today. I'm so pleased with the dog tags I ordered that I'm ordering some more!
Kathi3043 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I ordered the 1.99 mousepad from them...glad I had free shipping, it was sent from HONG KONG! No wonder the shipping is so high~ lol
chrisjuvers Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Made my order on Oct. 30 and recieved them today. I'm so pleased with the dog tags I ordered that I'm ordering some more! I ordered mine on the 31st and the status is "shipped' so I am expecting mine anyday. Has anyone ever chosen "matte" as the finish. I choose matte for my dogtags but I'm worried that I won't like them.

I choose matte for my dogtags but I'm worried that I won't like them.I didn't even see where you could order matte. I would imagine it would look good.
txsupermom Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Made my order on Oct. 30 and recieved them today. I'm so pleased with the dog tags I ordered that I'm ordering some more! I'm anxiously awaiting mine!! So glad you are pleased. Ordered mine on October 29th and status is "Shipped". I ordered another set on November 4th (still processing), so I'm hopeful everything will arrive in plenty of time to wrap up the Christmas gifts, attach the dog tags and send them on their merry way.
ribbit1072 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Okay, forgive me if I'm just stupid....when I go to check out with paypal it's in Chinese? Did anyone else see this?
chrisjuvers Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Okay, forgive me if I'm just stupid....when I go to check out with paypal it's in Chinese? Did anyone else see this?My Paypal account showed up in english, just as it always does for me. These are shipped from Hong Kong but your end should be in english. I checked out fine and the artscow site & Paypal were both in english. Maybe you can call Paypal..
erose630 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I got mine yesterday as well - they look wonderful!
allshoppedout Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Ok I am NOT skilled at this at all. I want to make some and have them turn out well. I have some pictures in photobucket. What is the best size I should edit them to to fit on these tags?Best size vertical?Best horizontal? Can anybody give me just 3-5 pointers of what is best to do?Also, I may want to try a double sided one, If I want it to say Love you, or maybe a special date, what can I do?I do not understand that "paint" program thing...
schmitt Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Okay, forgive me if I'm just stupid....when I go to check out with paypal it's in Chinese? Did anyone else see this?This happened to me for the first time today but had not in the past. I clicked the checkout button because that was in english and the next pages came up in english. Worth a shotgood luck
nawlinslady1970 Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Ok I am NOT skilled at this at all. I want to make some and have them turn out well. I have some pictures in photobucket. What is the best size I should edit them to to fit on these tags?Best size vertical?Best horizontal? Can anybody give me just 3-5 pointers of what is best to do?Also, I may want to try a double sided one, If I want it to say Love you, or maybe a special date, what can I do?I do not understand that "paint" program thing... For the image size, you might want to try here....https://www.artscow.com/help.html#ist For adding text to the dogtag, I used MSPaint. I opened the image, added a text box where I wanted it, chose my font, size and color, saved the whole image under a different name and used that image to upload to the dog tag. You can also make an image with just text on MSPaint and save it to upload. Paint is pretty simple, you don't have to do much to insert text. To make a text box on paint you click on the "A" button on the left hand of the screen and draw your text box where you want it, after that you click inside and start typing. To adjust the text box, you put your pointer on the dots on the side and in the corners of the text box until it turns to a double sided arrow hold the mouse button and drag it in or out to your desired size. To change the text font, color or size, click on the "View" drop down menu and click on "Text Toolbar", and it will pop up so you can choose what you want. Hope this helps.
