Every year, the same thing happens. I get two the same. Am v grateful to the givers but wish JL wd set up a system so they don,t sell the samr product twice to the same email address. Will ask one of the givers to be refunded. Plus this year cn, even download it despite having adobe air on my computer.

Email them and ask to switch one of your calendars to a different one. Surely they'd say yes?

Tbh I don't see this as more of an issue than any other duplicate present. Except that it is potentially easy to fix...

For example you wouldn't expect amazon to check if they were dispatching the same gift twice to the same address?

They only do two ecalendars, the london one which i had last year and the alpine one. I can,t download two calendars onto one computer and i can,t regift one,

I do t know what Jackie Lawson calendars are but it can't be their fault that two people get you the same present.

It,s an advent calendar you load onto your computer. So a duplicate is useless and as they only do two versions and as many of the same people are signed up to JL ecards it,s v foreseeable that you wd get duplicates

We have two calendars installed on our pc.
You can't have two on the desktop but you can have two installed.

I see why you find it irritating but do you really expect a business to tell one customer about what other customers have already ordered?
I can't think of any business that does this tbh.

There's the original calendar - the English village one - which if you ask them, they might let you have... though it's vanished off the website.

Because unlike any other item i cannot do anything with a duplicate and because the chances are high i will get a duplicate!

Not sure why you can't download two calendars though.
We've got three calendars downloaded onto the desktop (the original winter village, the London one and the alpine one - we seem to be collecting them each year and don't delete them) and we also got sent the circus thing last month. They are all on the desktop and work fine.
I'd email them and ask if you can swap the calendar for something - if not another calendar then something like the circus.

Amd say to the givers that this is a recurring problem - could one of them send something else instead (not quite that bluntly, and choose the one likely to react better!). I'd rather be told, as a giver, than have the money go to waste.
