"BUMP"

Yer in for a bumpy ride, man. Ask someone to do it for you.

Business cards are about the easiest bit of print you can design, shouldn't be that bumpy a ride.
You could give http://www.printing.com a try, £49 for 500 cards, I haven't had anything done by them but they sent me a sample pack and the print quality was decent. CMYK only though so don't use any Pantone inks in your design. Every other printer I've tried has quoted around £200-£250 for a set of cards.
85mm x 55mm is a common size for business cards. Remember to include your fonts and images (300dpi at 100%) when you send the Illy file. Get someone who knows what they're doing to check out your artwork before you send it to the printers or you could end up getting charged for shitty artwork setup.
Hope that helps.

Are Century 23 any good? The prices look reasonable but their print specs were a bit dodgy...
'All files must be supplied with a 3mm bleed. Please ensure that IN ADDITION to the 3mm bleed all text or important images are a further 3mm within the crop area (i.e. 6mm from document edge).'
If I understood that correctly that means they allow a 6mm margin of error on printing and cutting!
Any experience with them?
