Looking for company to print calendars

I have been using Bay Photo to print wildlife calendars but it’s the second time I have had mishaps with my order. Instead of getting 50 calendars, I got someone’s wedding album. The calendars are on heavy stock, spiral binding and printed with 6 colors. If anybody can make a recommendation, I would appreciate it. On a side note, someone received my calendars but Bay Photo doesn’t know who got them. Thanks, Fran

I've used Photobook and Vistaprint to print mine.

Vistaprint always does well for me.

Vistaprint has worked well for us for at least five years. Good quality and fast delivery.

I used mixbook with good success. Heavy stock paper....all matte however.

I think I received you calendars. Nudies on a calendar? You should be ashamed.

Since I have a Walgreens in my town, I use them for my 8x10 full color (glossy) wall calendars. The system is very easy to use and lots of options are available. (And they frequently have 50% off coupons - find them on RetailMeNot). You can choose layouts, I.E., one photo - no text; 5 photos with text; full photo; etc. You can choose backgrounds, layouts and the colors that surround photos (if not a full photo). Current price is $24.99 - $12.50 with the 50% code. And if you have a Walgreens close, there's no shipping charge.

I have used Picaboo for several years for calendars. Very consistent and good results!

So sorry to hear of your situation. Sounds like someone in their shipping department sure messed up.

I have used both Bay Photo (with no problems), and Mpix ( https://www.mpix.com/calendars/wall-calendars )
during the past 5 years for my calendars. This year I went with Mpix, and they are actually supposed to arrive today.

I have been happy with the quality from both companies so far.

I also have been happy with Picaboo. Note that on the bottom of their homepage there is a link to a bulk rate discount offer; 60% off for ten or more of the same item.

Shutterfly. Once you mark your special days, birthdays. etc. Your next year's calendar will have these dates automatically set for you.

I used Shutterfly. Easy peasy. Make 13 jpegs, drop them in, done. They were wire bound, not spiral but the other type, printed on good quality paper with true colors, and were delivered pretty quickly. No complaints.
