Business Cards

How difficult is it to get a set of business cards made?  It has taken me two weeks and after many horrible proofs I go to another vendor.  The first vendor now says they are going to be printed tomorrow and will be put in the mail.  I would really like to see them before they are delivered to my front door and look like crap.  I am going to cancel the order with the first vendor and see if the second has any better luck.  This is even after visiting the first vendors office and looking at the cards and seeing how bad they look.
