Has anyone found a Yellow letter company that supports our Canadian economy?
Would anyone like one started for a great price?
Any suggestions would be wonderful
Thank you for your time

Oh Really? Is that a Canadian Company?
or is it a company that operates out of the states and send the letters up here to Canada?

They are American, in Jacksonville I think. They finished my letters on Monday. I should receive them in six to ten business days! Sounds like a long time to me...

So far service with Tracy at yellowletterscomplete.com has been good - I direct shipped my stamps to her from Canada Post - had a tracking number and all - she has a client number for Cda Post
The big question will be: quality of letters received. My understanding is that the body of the letter was bulk printed, and they will hand-write the name and address info into each letter - I am waiting to see how that looks and if they can match the pen to the printer or not....
First 1000 are due to be shipped soon express, with the balance coming via slower shipping - we have committed to send out 200 per week with the masters program.
I think my wife already replied on a separate thread, but we would def consider keeping it Cdn for similar quality/price

Is the 6-10 business days from the time you order to the time it hits your doorstep? or the extra days after the order was complete?
Does that include the stamps on the envellopes?

I sent for a sample from her a while back. It looks fine, the pen/print colour match on the letter and envelope. The only thing is that if the person happens to put the sheet face down after reading it, you can see the minor bleedthrough from the pen in only the address and Dear sections.
Honestly, they must be lo-tech. You can easily setup a mail merge program and have the sheets printed with the addresses and salutation as well. You simply get a custom font made($10) for the hand printing of whoever wrote the original note. The note is still handwritten, only the address/dear use the matching handwritten font. You can`t tell whatsoever, and no pen bleedthrough.
Now if only printers printed on smaller invitation size envelopes. Most only do #10 envelopes

I tried a custom font as suggested earlier when this RLG section started. The letters were so spread out it looked very poor. What company do you suggest to get a custom font? Any tips when setting it up?
Thanks Kathi

Jeff took the words right out of my mouth.....(Jeff that`s twice now!)
Just to make absolutly clear.....handwrite the letter, only use the font for the Address/dear xxxx. I got someone else to do my writting and made them print large on the letter, to use over 1/2 the page. That might help. You can`t tell the font whatsoever...except for that one, too small, crooked "s" he did a bad job of writting on the font order page! Put 2 ss side by side and you can tell.

With the encouagement of fellow REIN members and past clients I was prompted into starting Yellow Letters Canada. You asked for it and you got it and no I will not be starting an answering service anytime soon but I will give a recomendation when I have one I`m satisfied with (That can answer all the right questions in the proper manner).

Hi Judy,
We are currently up and running, and new orders are being scheduled for the middle of next week. We have some new printer hardware on-route that will eliminate our backlog and keep our turn-around time within a few days once we`re caught up from the additional load of providing the service to others.
Thanks,
David.

Hi everyone on this thread:
It`s been so useful reading all your comments. My question is what lists are you using? I understand that sending to zip codes is not very helpful. Has any one used the list providing services that Ron mentioned in his course or are you buying foreclosure lists or obtaining expired listings? Can some one pls advise.
Also what success is anyone having with PatLive? Any advice or input is really appreciated.
Thanks!
Julie
