Default Shutterfly 50% and Free Shipping

Did you get the email?? 50% off books with free shipping through August 12th! What a great deal!! I'm ordering!

If you didn't get it, the coupon code is BOOK50

ETA...looks like it only works for the email they send it too, but other offers are out there for smaller percentages!

Good luck! My email was the Book50 code as well but did have that nasty little statement at the bottom that it was exclusively for my account. Fingers crossed for you all!

Do they send these kind of coupons out often? I don't have all my layouts ready to put in a book yet. Do I need to register at shutterfly to get the coupons or do they usually only send them to those who have purchased previously?

I didn't start receiving them until I had ordered a couple of books and now, the deals seem to keep getting better and better.

20-30% off is pretty usual Denise. I would say every couple of months, especially around holidays. The only pretty common one is buy 1 book, get 1 book 50% off. This is the first 50% flat I have seen & now, better get butt in gear to put together my kitty book to print!

Mine is 25% and free shipping, I got excited when I saw new sizes, but no 10" x 10" yet. Still waiting . . .

I'm just excited they're offering the landscape 8x11 size- i don't care for 12 x 12 for storage reasons, and 8x8 is too small sometimes. Now if they'd also offer the portrait version of 8x11, my life would be complete!!!

I received an email as well (the 25% one). But I think its because I have one started, but I haven't finished -- so they sent out a little prod to get me going (and boost sales, I'm sure). That way if people started one and were on the fence about spending the money -- this helps those of us that are a bit indecisive

I didn't get one either, and I have a free 8X8 coupon sitting at Shutterfly, but haven't been able to use it in months because it doesn't work in conjunction with free shipping! I can't check the "make me pay for shipping and give me my book" option!!! Ugh. It's been one of those days.

Mine is for 25% off-can't scoff at that deal either. The book about our beach trip is almost finished. Have to have husband proof the spelling, make jpg's and send it off.

After all my fussing and fuming, I was ready to go to Blurb, but I decided to call Shutterfly as a last-ditch effort to fix things.

I have a coupon for a free 8X8, but I couldn't use it in conjunction with the free shipping offer. Since they've had free shipping since who knows when, I was afraid the coupon would expire.

Apparently, the Print Your Digital Scrapbook falls in the same ambiguous category as "Martha Stewart" and "Thomas the Train" books. They're considered premium books even though that description is nowhere on the website; it's a little misleading. I've looked for the fine print and can't find it anywhere.

The rep said that Print Your Digital Scrapbook does not qualify for the free shipping promotion (has anyone seen that spelled out anywhere??), but he went ahead and changed it to a plain old photo book so I could print for free and ship for free. I was willing to pay for the shipping, but I'm not complaining.

My concern is that this is the third time something squirrely has happened with a book. Apparently, the Print Your . . . category is its own thing completely.

Anyway, I'm happy, but I feel guilty that I had to call Customer Service. Am I trying to get away with something dishonest?

Sarah,
For what it's worth, I don't think you're trying to get away with anything. Because I didn't know about Shutterfly doing their digital scrapbook products, I've historically always used their normal books (generally the 8x11s) and just selected each individual page as a full, single photo - which was actually my scrapped page saved as a jpeg. I'm not sure what the difference really is - except the scrapping pages look gray prior to filling them and the regular book pages give you lots of options for layouts, backgrounds, etc. that I never use.

I don't understand why they want to charge more for to fill the plainer book anyway.

Oops! Those free shipping deals don't apply in Australia, so I just trashed the email and didn't even see the 25% off deal (exclusively for me )!!
Now, if only I could finish the last few pages in any one of the many books I've got on the go....

this seems to be my problem too.. have too many projects almost ready but never get them finished in time until a promotion is gone.

Lynn,

That's never made sense to me, either, because the only difference with the digital book is that we do our own covers and spine---but the printing and binding is the same. What's the production difference between picking one of their covers, and using yours? I guess I just have to keep calling!

Maybe at some point they'll open a satellite production facility somewhere else so shipping is more reasonable for y'all!

I don't think it would be hard, I don't see why they couldn't open a plant in Australia. But $25 isn't TOO bad, I pay $14 to ship a 12X12 book.
