Six 12" poster for €3.41

adinike · 19-10-2008 12:22am #1

Hi all, just benefited from last two photobox offers and now it seems that these online printing companies are doing this offer intentionally!

Here is how it works:
Order 6 12 in posters from http://www.pixum.co.uk and use voucher code 9eb6d-98cae-265dc at check. Price drop from €25 to €3.41 including postage!

And if you use Quidco (don't know if it works in Eire but registered and used it anyway), it is supposed to reward you £6 for ordering from the site.

Saw this offer from a UK bargain website and thought people here will love the offer too.

Oh, it looks like for a new customer you also get 25 free prints from the site.

Edit:
The offer is no longer available.

nice one cheers

Cheers.. ordered some there but highly doubt this deal is "intentional" as I can nowhere on the site that mention it as a special offer.

But worth a shot!

Zascar · 19-10-2008 12:19pm

Nice one, I just ordered 6x 12" posters.

I think I'll try it a few times

What's 12x12" or 12x18" in pixel ratio can anyone tell me? Or what's the best way to crop to the size you want?

Zascar · 19-10-2008 12:24pm

Dam you can only use that voucher code once

Quidco (don't know if it works in Eire

Anybody know the answer to this question?

samhail · 19-10-2008 7:24pm

I hope you didnt get your measurements from http://www.pixum.co.uk/product/520-12-34-posters.html cos it says the ratios

Format: min. 12" x12" to max. 12" x18"
Aspect ratios: 3:4 = 12" x16" / 2:3 = 12" x 18"

OK thats mightnt answer your question... but to get a ratio divide one side by the other !
so 12x12 is a square (1:1)
and 12x18 is 2:3

I think they were looking for the pixel ratio not the aspect ratio.

A 12"x18" image is 864px by 1296px at 72 pixels per inch.

cormie · 19-10-2008 8:14pm

Sorry, yep, I was looking for the pixel ratio, as in I wanted to open up a file in photoshop with the pixel size and fit the photo into that, but a google made me realise it is dependant on the DPI resolution or something, so Just opened an image in 12/18 inches.

£6 is pending in my Quidoc account and there is a option to transfer the money to paypal account (will try when credited).

Here is how it works:
1. register at Quidoc.com
2. search for pixum in the search function
3. click into the offer and login the pixum site through the link provided
4. your transaction will be logged and your account will be credited.

Lots of offers going on in the Quidoc and sites like play.com also included, so perhaps it is a good way to save money, if it is not a UK only thing.

Just trying to order prints now. I have 6 selected and have created an account (but not logged in) and trying to buy, have put in CC details but when I click submit it loads something but doesn't change page

cormie · 19-10-2008 9:28pm

just checked the photo page and 5 photos have a red arrow pointing down and one has a green arrow pointing right, maybe the red arrows are causing a problem, but I don't know what the problem is

If you click the checkout button at the bottom of the page, it will lead you to the payment page again and this time you only put in the three digits validation number.

Hi there,

thanks for this, just ordered 6 posters, total came up to 3.41 Euro...now just have to wait for it to be dispatched and we're sorted!

Cheers,
Magic

beolight · 19-10-2008 10:00pm

nice one

forgot the quidco thing you coulkd end up making money:)

cormie · 19-10-2008 10:07pm

Cool, think I just had to create a new account, musn't have done it properly when I did it at the checkout. Just found out what the red arrows were for:

IMPORTANT:
Your order contains 5 image files, with an unsufficient resolution/size.
We therefore cannot guarantee for an optimal result.

Hmmm, wonder what that's about. I edited 5 of them in photoshop to get rid of red eye and saved as JPEGs on the highest quality.
