My new favorite greeting card platform I’ve used a few greeting card platforms, and Ellacard is my new favorite. It’s got the best features - I especially like that anyone can add videos and photos. I started a large group ecard (over 50 people) and everything worked out perfectly. Thanks Ellacard, I’ll be back.

Got billed twice after transaction apparently failed! Tried to finish but the website just kept hanging up and could not complete the transaction. Then two hours later, got notifications from PayPal…Ella Cards billed me twice??!! And I had already sent an e-card using a different company. Edit: Ella Cards responded promptly and issued refund.

I would go less for a rating but that… I would go less for a rating but that is not an option. The "service" is a joke and not as advertised. I knew from the start that I would design my own card. I am so glad I did as the selection is mundane at best and uncreative. The site unfortunately does not provide a horizontal format nor informative instructions. My card supposedly was sent to the named collaborators, who I supposed to be those to sign the card, per the "details" for the order but 24 hours after it was supposedly sent none received it. Well, except for the bereaved, who was not to have received it until later in the week AFTER his colleagues had signed it. As others mentioned imagine my surprise when at the end there was a charge as NOWHERE was it mentioned. The charge was not significant and for the convenience it might have been worth it in this time of hybrid schedules had the "service" actually worked as advertised. I already have one email submitted with questions to which 24 hours later I have not gotten a response. I submitted another email a few minutes ago asking how I can be sure the collaborators don't receive the silly card now that the intended individual has already received it. I cannot recommend this "service" and would like to speak to those leaving 5-star reviews to see if they were written by the owners family.

Deceptive Checkout Experience Ellacard is peak "we designed our check out experience for maximum revenue versus actual customer experience" design. Look, I work in tech and I understand you want people to "get to the end" but this feels deceptive. You pick your card, entire a little note, enter the email address. It's digital, how expensive could it be, right? $6.99 CAD?! LOL. WHAT? Why is sending a DIGITAL CARD more expensive than me getting an actual card, postage, and sending it in the mail? Of course they're going to bet that you've put too much work in to turn back now and ultimately checkout with your purchase. Zing! Look, if you're a business, and you're going to send a bunch of emails to your colleagues throughout the year for various occasions, need a bulk signing capability, and want a little pizzazz in the process, maybe the subscription makes sense. But if you're just an average person looking to sending a one-off card (from one person to one person), you're better off finding an alternative or even just sending an email.

We use Ellacard to send cards and gifts… We use Ellacard to send cards and gifts to our employees and we love how interactive and collaborative the platform is! I would highly recommend.
