They don't pre-cut 'em

No print shop pre-cuts business cards, there'd be no good way to feed them through the printer if they aren't done several up on a larger sheet. I'd go find a real print shop (if such things exist any more, I used to work in one) and see what they'd charge for a ream or two of your favorite card stock cut down. Not Kinko's or somesuch, but a real place with the smell of solvent in the air and a few old Davidson's, or even an AB Dick 3xx series clanking away, and that squish squish squish as the blanket sucks the image off the plate.

On the "perforated for feeding through your own printer", Avery is doing some that are non-perforated on something like a Post-It note backing, so there are no fuzzy edges. I'm sure more expensive than what you need, but it is possible to feed something that actually looks okay for output.

But then, having done QC on quite a few embossed (not "heat embossed") full-bleed multi-color (but not 4 color process) I have certain standards for business cards, and it takes a lot to impress me.
