Reply to "2015 PCNC Calendars now available!"

Hi guys,

Grrrrr.....I just got my PCNC calendar. I ordered one before posting the info to the forums, so I was the guinea pig. I was very disappointed in what I received.

First of all, I ordered the "11x17" version and what I got was only 8.5 x 11 inches. This is because they consider both pages when describing the size, something they fail to mention. If you open up an 8.5 x 11 calendar and measure the whole thing when it's open, yes, it measures 11x17. But nobody would presume that, I imagine.

Secondly, some of the photos were jacked up. They were supposed to be printed full bleed, meaning the image was larger than the page and the extra portion would just be in space somewhere. Instead, on a couple of pages they chose to print the image on top of the calendar page! DUH!

Fortunately, Zazzle offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. For sure they will be getting this one back!

I then went to their website and struggled to fix the problems with the product. To make a long story short, I discovered that I first had to do "step two" of their process, before doing "step one". The resultant calendar now appears as it should, with proper images, and set up so that it can be purchased in all three sizes.

I posted the calendar for sale a few minutes ago, but it's likely that it won't be visible for purchase until sometime tomorrow. In the short term, there will still be two calendars visible. The one you want is entitled:

2015 PCNC De Tomaso Calendar (revised version 2.0)

Disregard any other versions you might see there.

Now, what if you've already ordered a calendar? Well, if they have told you that it shipped already, you're a bit screwed. You'll get a nice-looking calendar that has a few issues. You can either chose to keep it, or contact Zazzle and find out how their 30-day replacement guarantee works out.

If you've ordered/paid but it has not yet shipped, it's likely Zazzle will contact you and tell you your item is not available; this is because I deleted the jacked-up versions after I posted the new and improved version. In that case, you'll all set--just go back and purchase the new one.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused everybody. I'm now about nine or ten hours into this construction project, caused largely by Zazzle website crashes, error messages, and a completely inscrutable procedure necessary for creation of this thing. But I'm convinced you'll agree the finished product is worth the effort!
