Well, I hope you're wrong, it would make a nice present. I've already got 12 photos in mind taken on the corresponding months of this year. They are advertising coupon availability from Monday giving 1 week to upload to photobox to make the xmas deadline. If they don't deliver that'll be their last business from me. I see the price is slightly misleading as well. They advertise the calendar for £6, they don't mention that there's another £4 for postage until after payment for the 'groupon' is made. No such thing as a free lunch.

My apologies, so it does, I hadn't noticed that

It does say on the Photobox site that this is for new customers only.

Also seems like buying the 10 for £49 is a pretty cheap way of getting 130 A3 prints done.

Ouch...didn't spot that one. THAT is a bit cute, hiding it away on the Photobox page.

Oh well, will have to sign the wife up to Photobox.

Funnily enough...

I almost opted for that deal but with all the other stuff I've got through Groupon I reckon you'll be lucky to see it before next easter.

I usually use Vistaprint for my yearly calendars. Use code QDCO5CAL and you get 5 for the price of one. Include delivery and You get them for about £4 each. Go through Quidco and you'll get cashback too.

I'm usually impressed with the Vista print calendars but I'm easily pleased and appreciate you get what you pay for.

(I'm not affiliated with Vistaprint but thought those looking to save money might like it)

I ordered a calendar from Photobox last week (not via Groupon) and it's arrived today. I am amazed at how good it looks, the website was telling me two of my pictures were not brilliant quality but I can't see any problems in the finished product.

Really happy with the calendar, recommend them

[chrisj_abz]

yep i ordered Ten, mine are apparently being dispatched today and even though it said new customers only my order was processed with no problems...

[markmullen]

My 10 arrived today, on schedule, but A4 not A3.

Spoke to a nice girl in customer services who has arranged a new batch to be printed in A3 and dispatched ASAP.

I have to say I'm quite impressed with the A4s, the A3s should look even better.

My A3 was also delivered as A4 ..... nice quality though
gave them a call and they re-ordered the A3 for me without any issues

Today the new calender arrived .............. as A4
gave them a call and told it is A3 when open ie 2 x A4

So be aware ............

is this the case with other printers do you know?

I've had exactly this issue, I've now got 2 boxes of A4 for free (which are pretty nice) and some A3 being re-ordered for delivery after Christmas.
