Shopper Testimonials
“I absolutely LOVE these cards from Greeting Card Universe!! There are choices for every occasion or need, and so many ways to personalize or even add a photo! Everyone who has received one from me has been very happy with their card. And I am happy with the ease of shopping on my iPad from the comfort of my chair! I can have the cards sent to me OR directly to the recipient. And turn around time is FAST! And the price is GREAT! I am a customer for life!”
