I made a photo calendar last year with vistaprint and got a bit burned by the extra costs Angry. Could anyone recommend a cheaper alternative this year? The photos are the thing so I am not too worried about overall design/paper quality etc... thanks!

Snapfish pretty good. Code xmas3 will get you money off depending on how much you spend. Postage is on top though at the end.

Also saw in boots a make your own calendar thing, think it was £8 for calendar with slots for normal prints and stickers to add comments.

Forgot to add how did you get stung at the end? I get mine free and just pay postage? so never more than £3

LittleTyger, I got a flyer about the Vista one - is it really 99p? Is there an extra charge for uploading images or something?

What's the quality like? Think I might go for it Smile

Photobox are far superior quality to Vistaprint but Vistaprint are the Ryanair of the market so will always be cheaper even with the add-ons.

I paid £11 for Vistaprint for 3 calendars, that was inc postage, tax and upgrading to their nicest paper.

An American site called tiny prints is my all time fave for cards/invites/calendars etc. the postage was a bit but I have been really happy with my orders so far!

Oh God as soon as I slag vistaprint off they get super cheap. last year it was mad, something like £5 per calendar, then upload free, VAT (!!) and postage added another £8. Per calendar. Umm, I used tesco in the end and it was a little more expensive than Thursday says, but I will persevere!

Until now I'd have said photo box...but as they have sent me two orders, wrong, twice, and still haven't sorted it, I'd advise you steer clear. I'll never order from them again!

I did a vistaprint one last week - cost me £5 inc postage. I could have got cheaper postage, but I upgraded for a quicker delivery. I'm sure that's a con though as I've always got them quite quickly. They're not the same quality as photobox, but they're nice enough for Christmas gifts from DS which is my usual purpose of them.

Can I just take back what I said about photobox. They are terrible!
