PhotoBox - Large Photo Collage £1

    Promotion here.. but read below:
    Photobox (www.photobox.co.uk) presently has an offer to purchase a large photo collage (30" x 20") for only £1 (RRP £17.99). This is supposed to have a minimum spend of £30. However I have discovered that if you put at least 3 collages, which can all be different, in your basket, they get confused and discount every collage to £1!! I have ordered 6, paying just £1 each + postage. They also dispatched them within a couple of hours!

    Offer ends 15/09/08 so get in there quick for a real bargain and create a lasting display of your holiday pics!
    Add the code SEPCOLLAGE1 at checkout.

    Jus tried this and worked a treat. Cheers for that basquille!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭PIMPHO


    How much did ye pay in total? Mine is coming up as £7.50 for 3 collages plus delivery?


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭paidi_ed


    Yeah it was £7.50 in total for delivery to ireland. It's on till the 15th, hopefully they won't cop on till after the weekend, be good to do some more over weekend. The old collages take a bit of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,178 ✭✭✭killbillvol2


    Nice find basquille. Thanks.

    I'd love to know how you "discovered" this little flaw!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    I wonder if they'll cop after hundreds of people try it.
    I wonder does it work for other offers...
    I wonder too much.

    Nice one cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,699 ✭✭✭ThOnda


    Three collages created and ordered :-)
    Thanks a million!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,067 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Wahey.. mine was despatched this morning. Really didn't think they'd honour it! ;)

    Fair play Photobox.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,247 ✭✭✭Qwerty?


    Also don't forget your getting 40 free prints if you have just signed up with them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 633 ✭✭✭clevtrev


    great spot thanks a lot. Now all I need is a new house to hang them all in :D

    Wow.. make sure you check your credit card statements. Be a pretty nasty surprise if they actually took the full amount of €93 out of your card.

    They can't without running it by you first... it's basic consumer law.

    They'd have to contact you and state it was a misprice, then offer it to you at it's normal price of €93 - which you could accept or deny.

    Cheers, 2 sets of 3 collages ordered, the P+P went crazy with 6 in one order so had to split up

    They must have fixed it up. I am getting just over 40 sterling for 3 collages now which is the cost of 3 minus 1. Was away for the weekend so only saw it now :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 110 ✭✭liamtinney


    They have their problem sorted now so no more bargins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,929 ✭✭✭dubmick


    I signed up for the 100 free prints offer a few weeks back and forgot that they expired after a fortnight! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 281 ✭✭magicEye


    Placed the order on the 13th...came up as 7.50 sterling for 3 collages, it still comes up as printing...I don't think they're gonna honour it.....Just wait and see at this stage I suppose!

    Cheers,

    Magic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭johnfás


    In the same boat as you magicEye. I did two orders, one on the 13th and one on the 14th both still say Printing.

    Does anyone have any experience of how long it would normally take to dispatch? I wouldn't be surprised it it wasn't honoured although you would expect an e-mail soon enough saying so.

    I placed my order at 12.45am on Friday night.. and it was despatched just over 7 hours later at 7.59am.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 19,300 Mod ✭✭✭✭slave1


    yeah, mine are printing too, well it's only Monday so maybe they catch up weekend orders on a Monday? anyhow, fingers crossed

    Hmmmm, T+C

    "Once you have placed an order for any products or services through our websites (including any order for printing services), the order will not be treated as having been accepted until you receive confirmation from us that this is the case. This confirmation may be provided by email or post."

    and I say we've all received confirmation emails so this is good, but the next T+C is not good

    "Only one collage print per order"

    only time will tell........


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,067 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Well, Photobox have already charged the €9.54 to my credit card.. so I'm set! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 281 ✭✭magicEye


    In this case, I'm sorted too....:)€9.73 EUR. Fingers crossed now!!! :p

    Cheers,

    Magic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭PIMPHO


    Same here €9.63!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭johnfás


    Me too!

    And I got the best rate of the three of us :D

    PHOTOBOX LTD 9.55
    PHOTOBOX LTD 9.55


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 281 ✭✭magicEye


    Nope, you're second best, Johnfás!!! Basquille is the best by a huge difference of 1 cent....

    It seems I'm the most expensive....cheeky paypal :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭johnfás


    That is good to know though magicEye, that you used paypal. I use it obviously when I use eBay because you don't have much choice but I have always wondered comparatively what they charge on exchange transactions. Now I know that my Mastercard gives me a better rate. I am still unsure whether a Laser card gives me a better rate again or whether they both give me the same as they are tied to the same bank. Would be interesting if anyone knew? :confused:

    Just got the following email from photobox

    Due to a high demand for our products caused by a large uptake on the promotions that we are currently running, we're writing to let you know that on this occasion the Poster or Collage order you placed may take an additional 5 working days before being dispatched.

    We are doing everything possible to get your order to you as soon as possible and thank you for your patience.


    Best regards

    The Photobox team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,067 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Jaysus.. fair fecks to Photobox.

    They could have cancelled those orders .. but have decided to honour them at the incorrect price.

    Jaysus I hope they do honour them. Spent flippin hours on Sunday night picking out the best pics of the family, zooming, cropping... I was goggle eyed and was about to give up and leave it till Monday. Just as well I didn't. :)

    Brilliant Bargain alert! Cheers Basquille


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭PIMPHO


    My 2 orders are still at printing status eventhough they have already charged my credit card?! :(

    Wouldn't be too worried... they'll probably change the status to 'Despatched' shortly.

    Did you recieve an e-mail saying it was despatched?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭*Dallas


    im raging I missed that promotion!

    Just on Photobox, how do I avail of the free prints when I register ? is there a promotion code?

    thanks

    No only got the confirmation email of the orders. Has anyone actually recieved their collages yet?

    Check your junk folder. The email went straight there for my gmail account yet the order confirmation was in my inbox.

    If you examine your account, there should be the credits listed. Then upload your pictures, add 6x4 or 6x4.5 prints to your basket based off those prints being in an album and your credits should automatically be added to reduce your total price. I don't remember having to do anything else. Total cost was £1.99 (for shipping). :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭johnfás


    One of my two orders was despatched this morning. I would imagine the second will be despatched tomorrow as I ordered it a day later.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 419 ✭✭*Dallas


    cool thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,823 ✭✭✭Dr.Winston O'Boogie


    Just on a side note I ordered prints there a month ago using my free credits, only thing is I order 6x4.5 and I can't seem to find a photo album to fit the bloody things! Every album seems built for 6x4.

    Anyone any ideas on where I could get one? Or is there anyway I could get more free credits? I don't think I got 100, just 40...

    1) Trim photos yourself with a ruler and a stanley knife
    2) Use a different username and email address when signing up. should work. In fact, invite yourself to be a user of photobox and then you might get free prints on the new account and bonus prints to your first account. :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,067 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Anyone find a good price for a 30" x 20" photo frame? A clip frame would be the way to go. Some great prices at Wilkonsons on clip frames.. not quite the right size (but not far off) but don't ship to Ireland.

    Wilko Clip Frame 29in x 20in
    Wilko Clip Frame 32in x 24in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,342 ✭✭✭johnfás


    I've bought good value clip frames from Homebase in the past.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,178 ✭✭✭killbillvol2


    My order was despatched today. Fair dues to them for honouring this.

    As it turned out we needed some calendars at work so I was quite happy to tell the boss to get them from photobox. He spent about €800 today so he's making up for some of us!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,067 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Got these yesterday.. look fecking class!

    Once again, fair fecks to Photobox for honouring it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭PIMPHO


    Cool, can't wait to get them! Let me know if you find a good frame for them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 103 ✭✭paidi_ed


    Got my first set yesterday, they look great. Ordered the second set sunday night so I'd say it's stuck in the backlog of orders. Fair play to them for honouring it alright


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 470 ✭✭PIMPHO


    Got one of mine today and they are amazing, such good quality and so big too! :D

    All my work colleagues were around my desk admiring them! hehe

    Thanks again OP!

    Anyone have any good ideas as to how best to frame them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,587 ✭✭✭gerire


    Ever so slightly gutted i missed this offer
