Discussion: More Questions on the Reorder Process
Following up on our earlier discussion about reordering, I wanted to address some of the more specific questions that have come up. We know that vendors usually keep data for a short time, but what about the actual "logistics" of a reorder? Do you get a discount? Is it faster? Can you change your address or photo without it being a "new" order? Let’s clear some of this up.
Most vendors see a reorder as a "new" order but with a faster data verification stage. If you want to change your address or photo, it’s usually better to just place a new order. Trying to "modify" an old order can often lead to confusion and mistakes in the production line. However, if you just want a second copy of exactly the same card, a reorder is very straightforward.
Tips for a Smooth Reorder Experience
- Keep Your Previous Order Info: Having your original order number makes everything ten times faster.
- Check for Loyalty Codes: Some vendors send out discount codes specifically for returning customers. Always check your email before you buy.
- Verify Current Designs: If it’s been more than 6 months since your last order, double-check that the state hasn’t updated its design. You want the latest and greatest!
I’ve reordered from two different vendors recently, and both made the process very easy. One even had a "reorder" button right in my account dashboard. What are your experiences? Have you found any vendors who are particularly great (or difficult) with returning customers? Let’s share our "loyalty" tips.
