Aura Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I've been trying to make calendars for Christmas gifts. Shutterfly has been such a pain. It's not cropping pictures like it's supposed to. It's locked me out of one of the calendars altogether, so I had to start over on that one, and my dd has now lost a ton of work she was doing while making photo books for me. I've even tried using different computers! I've talked to customer service twice and they've been less than helpful both times. I'm really frustrated with them. The only thing keeping me with them was that I'd already put a lot of work in the projects, including uploading a ton of pictures, AND they had a really good sale with 50% off. But the sale ended yesterday and I'm still dealing w/ problems, so I'm thinking of bailing and starting with somewhere else. Anyone have someplace they'd recommend?

momto10blessings Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I've never had problems with making shutterfly books/calendars. That would annoy me to no end If you want to keep going, I just got an email with 50% off code for books/calendars until Sunday. Code: getgift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I've made two photo books this week as gifts and have had zero problems. I make at least one with them every year and have had no problems. They take a lot of work so it would seriously bug me if it kept screwing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Have you tried a different browser? I was having similar problems with my bank website a couple of weeks ago. Safari would not work; Chrome did. Safari always had before, and neither the bank not Safari acknowledged a problem. I was about to throw my Mac through the window, so I completely get the frustration. ETA: I also had a problem cropping a pic on the SAT site once, and that also was cured with a different browser. Again, neither side acknowledged a problem with the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReader Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I always use Picaboo. Higher prices but many coupon codes ("like" their page on FB and you'll get emails w/offers/codes) and their quality is top notch, very user friendly. They do books, calendars & cards.

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I just got my Shutterfly order. I'm sorry that you are having problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I second the other browser idea. I've never had issues either. I love mpix but I'm not sure if they do plug and print books and stuff. They are a little more than Shutterfly but their quality is awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks everyone! Especially to momto8blessings for the coupon code! I don't know if it's the browser or not, but I've tried from two totally different computers, and that didn't resolve everything. My dh suggested installing chrome, so I may do that and keep trying. I didn't have this trouble last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto10blessings Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 No problem. The email said the code was getgift but When I clicked on the email it says the code is Holiday... Hopefully one works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would also try a different browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex-bex Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'd agree with trying a different browser, and remember to save often. It was a tad buggy for me in the week leasing up to thanksgiving when I did the bulk of my work, but I saved frequently and had no trouble. Good luck!

AnneBlessedx4 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I just got done with three calendars yesterday. GRrrr.....GOod thing I only do them once a year! I used to do 7! Snapfish had really good deals this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKapers Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I just did calender's thru Snapfish. It ends today but if you spend over $100, you can get over 60% off using code Cyber60. If you spend less than that you can get 55% off using code Cyber55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I finished my dad's calender this morning, with code Holiday. I have been making photo books of family history stuff all year - nice to get to reuse some photos I'd already uploaded in a different way!

Aura Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Thanks, all! I installed Chrome, and it seems to be running much better. I am working on them now, and hopefully I will get them finished in time to use the holiday code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
