Jostens contracts with schools to extort ridiculous $ for every item associated with graduation. Then the school makes it mandatory to require new cap and gown every year by changing little things. Guess what? Your school gets a piece of that pie back from Jostens. Hold the schools accountable for the outrageous thievery they are perpetrating with their partner in crime, Jostens. We HAD to purchase from Jostens and the minimum cost for just the gown was over $50 after all the junk fees (delivery of 20 plus to pick it up myself from the SCHOOL. So they made an extra 1000 just on my daughter's class 'delivery' fees.)
My daughter's class ring is a joke. I spent almost 600 and she spent forever designing what looked like a beautiful, unique ring on their website. Just got it today, months later, and it looks like a bubble gum machine prize. Seriously. It looks like they farmed the work out to Temu, complete with blurry engraving, uneven fonts, the most CHEAPA*S stones that are nothing like they picture. Cracked, cloudy, just don't have words for how cheap it looks. I am disgusted that this is being foisted off on graduates, who get these as symbols of the hard work and perseverance they put in to earn a diploma. And I am furious at the thought of the hardworking families who make genuine sacrifices to pay these outrageous prices only to be handed this unbelievable garbage. Shame on Jostens; Shame on the schools who conspire to peddle this crap!DO NOT waste your money. Have a jeweler make/engrave something quality that does justice to your child's accomplishments.
