I finished my 2013 Lever gun calendar (photos)

38-55 I'm going on tomorrow and ordering a 1/2 doz. I think they are outstanding and have several anti-gunners on my Christmas list, who I know need one and they wouldn't dare throw them out if they come as a gift from me. HA HA HA. Plus I need about three around the place.
 
Hey 38-55 I just had a thought, would you be interested in doing one for 2014 exclusively for me corporately? Say 150 units to hand out to my customers. That would be too cool!!! My only criteria is all Winchesters and I would even send you some rifles for the photos, if you like. I would like some say as to which rifles but beyond that you would have total artistic freedom. What do you say?

Anybody else out there with businesses that would like in? Let's get this thing off the ground and make it worthwhile enough to see that it happens every year. I'm in and committed anyone else?

... I can understand why Canadian sales aren't through the roof ..... the shipping they charge for just one calendar is a bit expensive...

That's why I'm having mine sent to my gf's place in Bellingham. $5.25 vs $11.00. No-brainer. Pity there isn't a Canadian printer who could do this... for a reasonable price. But if you're getting a bunch of US orders, that's good, too.

I'd love to get a Canadian printer to do this sort of thing, but it isn't just a printing job. The Cafe Press people print the orders as they come (i.e., most of them are one-off jobs), then ship them and collect the money and send me a cheque for $4 per calendar at the end of the month. The printers that I know print by the batch, then I would have to ship and collect the proceeds myself and I could end up getting stuck with a pile of unsold calendars that would make this a 'get-poor quick' scheme. Today, with Freddy Four's order, I broke my previous Canadian sales record of 6 calendars sold. My US sales thus far are a total of 37 calendars. Obviously not a get-rich quick scheme, but it is the gun photography that I enjoy.

P.S. Let me remind anyone who is going to order one (in spite of the big fat shipping charge for one calendar) that there is a 'start month' menu. If you don't choose a month, you'll get a calendar that starts in November or December. If you already messed up, give them an email or call and, thus far, they are sending out a free replacement calendar.

Well, I'm going to order two "irregardless" and pick 'em up in Bellingham. So you can count those as semi-Canadian (or semi-American) orders.

Looks like the previous record is shattered. Glad you all like the photos and thanks to those who are getting one. :D
 
Just ordered 3. Just hope the printing turns out a little better than the one in '11. Not that it was bad

Clint, if you are not happy with the printing when you get your calendar, just give them a call and they will give you a refund or a replacement. I got three that were a little off centre two years ago. I called them and they sent me three more, properly centred, free of charge. Or PM me and I'll make sure you get a replacement or refund.
 
The printing was cut by the spiral binding if it was more than one line, as I recall. But it was still a great calendar!
I'm more about the lookin' than the readin'
 
That should not be a problem this year. I laid out the printing so that the coil holes would not cut into it.

Unlike some other companies,Cafe Express seems to take their after sales customer service very seriously.My first calendar had the wrong start date because of a mix-up at their end.I contacted them and a replacement was sent out lightning fast,they never even considered having me return the original.
I hope that this item really takes off for you,super idea and the overall quality is very good,I'm very happy with it.
