Vistaprint calendar code anyone?

fiscalfreckles

I have ordered photo calendars for the grandparents the last few years; they are now expected & looked forward too.

However, I can't seem to find a code this year, there is usulally one to get the first calendar for 99p + P&P, has anybody seen/got one please?

Thank you :xmassmile !

I am just looking too! Best I have seen is an email to me the other day for £7.99 each, free delivery, but 3 for £20, ends 15th Nov. Wasnt a code, just a link in the email.

Not seen anything about free calendars this year. Even the leaflets that arrive with orders from Amazon etc were for the £7.99 offer.

Funky Pigeon have an offer on for 50% off at the moment. I've used Argos Photo and Photo Box the past two years and both have been of good quality.... not sure if Funky Pigeon would be of the same quality and so I am reluctant to order.

Ha! Glad it's not just me looking for this deal. I've had a calendar printed for my OH for 99p every Xmas for the last 4 years!! It aways turns up in the end. Maybe it will in the next few weeks. Keeping my eyes peeled for any other decent sounding deals on personalised calendars. Not found any yet... Will let you know if I find any!

I made the mistake of making 10 for relatives when my daughter was a baby; they all now look forward to a new calendar every year. Just had a quote for £62 from Vista with free delivery which is cheaper than Funky Pigeon which I mentioned above (FP are £5.49 each plus postage). I must be mad!

TCB has 15.15% cashback at Vista too :-)

Someone's asked Vistaprint if they're doing these calendars on their FB page and they say no...
More precisely they say "We're not offering the same discount this year. But you can take advantage of our recent discounts for one Wall Calendar for £7.99 with free delivery (14 days) and uploads included as well. For more details please click on this link http://www.vistaprint.co.uk/vp/ns/default.aspx... Thanks"

Was banking on one towards my OH's £10 worth of pressies.

at least they have made it free delivery I suppose, but nowhere near as good a deal as previously.

These desk calendars are much smaller, but better value, £4.99 normally or you can get one for £2.49 via this link - another option?

Clever bit of marketing really, sell at a loss one year, creates market. We get hooked and next year put the price up. Genius. I wouldn't be surprised if they email us all closer to the time if they don't get the volumes of orders

Maybe, but they had been doing the free calendars for at least 5 years - so I think it's a total change of strategy, not a follow-on

All their long-term offers have changed, for the worse, in the last few months - we've been using them for at least 6 years for their 'free' 100 postcards, 'free' 50 large postcards, 'free' 25 brochures - using pictures uploaded 'free' (13 at a time) on their 'free' calendars (which means we've had some very odd calendars!).

All were free (promoted in promo emails sent every day!) except for the postage - which was acceptably low if you planned ahead and chose the cheap 2-3 week option. Not the best quality but perfectly good for a (very) small business needing low print runs.

But now, just in the last few months, the offers that have been constants for years have changed totally - the 100 postcard offer is now just 10, the 25 free brochures never appear, and the free calendars have also gone totally - so I don't think it's a cunning plan, it looks more like they can't afford those offers anymore...
