 ### Quality summary

+Sticker Ninja - wow! Thick, sturdy vinyl that feels amazing. Plus loads of pretty finishes - I'm really noodling on what I could do on "Prism Party." They're not *the* cheapest, but for sets of 100 they're not awful, so they're probably my vendor of choice unless I'm buying more bulk (and 100 is my most common amount). I've ordered some new holo [hummingbirds](/hummingbird-become-ungovernable) from them as well as a design new to stickers, [big pidge](/big-pidges).

+Also, they sent me a "queer joy is a revolution" sticker in the sample pack. Also also, they seem like they have a great approach to work - they close their ordering on Sundays so they don't come in absolutely slammed on Mondays. I respect that a lot.
 
 ### Pricing summary
 
-Death by Stickers stands out as *by far* the cheapest option for ~100 or maybe less, and still fairly competitive for ~200, though bumped out of the top slot by StickerGiant. If you want bulk, Brick City Printing comes out ahead - and they are union!

 If you want really small lots, maybe try Sticker Bunnies - their pricing model is a flat per-sticker rate regardless of order size. Be aware, however, that they only take orders via email, so it may be a bit more of an involved process than most.

 ### Sticky Brand
 
-Sticky Brand has apparently gone pretty hard in on generative AI marketing. I priced them out (and ordered some stickers due to a *deep* discount) before learning this, so I'm noting prices down for reference, but I don't recommend them.

+\*Or well, I *thought* I ordered stickers. Here's what happened:
+
+I ordered a sample pack. I saw the discount on 100 holo stickers, realized I should have gone for that, and put in to cancel my sample pack, then ordered the 100 holo PLUS sample pack so I wasn't paying shipping twice. They then canceled my *second* order, of the 100 holo and sample pack, rather than my first. And now it's been 2 or 3 weeks and I still don't have a sample pack, because order 1 is seemingly stuck in printing. Welp.
