This is a title I found in their blog – cutpopup.com
For a long time; I wished to have social media BIG disapproval button.
It is the first thought I have looking at their page.
Their “About” and “Contacts” info pages reveal the Great pretenders quickly behind.
Pretenders, because claiming that their work is the work of numerous designers, there are no names in sight, and quite monolithic design sets do not show individuality. Plus, 3 locations on three continents leave no doubt.
Big (Chinese) Money trying to cash out on a trend.
I was looking at their designs.
The overwhelming feeling I have looking at is sadness. Somehow in my mind, I see an image of countless Estate sales in the US populated by always the same unimpressive merchandise. Among them, these Popup cards that supposed to be cute, but where even the passing time did not reveal the familiar atmosphere of past time. Infinite sadness of lives that passed dressed in mass-produced things pretending to be highlights of their lives. There is nothing special. Not even the tiniest treasures bring joy to your heart. Instead, there is the grey feeling of a desert. Run-of-the-mill merchandise.
The biggest surprise awaits you when you check their blog and comments.
Of course, I am biased, expecting some extra effort from the designer, not this picture of neglect.
Checking their post:
“What is a popup card? All you need to know.”
In recent comments:
Clicking on one of them (Alanya Escort Bayan”)reveals some pornographic pictures of young women exposing themselves, advertising escort services in Turkey.
Another one leads to a website (In the Polish Language) with some statistical information about the United States.
The third one I checked with the enticing subtitle “effects of marihuana use on ZEBRA pop-up cards” leads you to a page with a surprise: ZEBRA.
Nobody cares. Nobody checks the comments.
The reviews you can find there….. each contains their advertisement.

Checking their return and refund policy brings up another surprise (or maybe not a surprise). I saw it already a couple of times with Chinese sellers on Amazon or elsewhere. There is a restocking fee of $10. So the postage cost plus the $10 “restocking Fee” makes you richer with one more experience. The return cost of the $12.50 item is more than the purchase cost, and since nobody checks such details the seller made sure that there are no returns ever.
My Advice? Stay away. there are enough nicer cards you can find elsewhere without the additional entertainment of dealing with their “Return or other Policies.”
