Default Corvette Calendar

Has anyone purchased a corvette calendar from "Moments of Light"and found it to be poor quality? After spending $27.50 I was very dissapointed. The pictures are not very clear and they don't fill the page. I expressd my disapointment to "Moments of Light" and got no responce. As an FYI I would think twice before ordering one.

You are absolutely correct. I got mine the other day and it was VERY disappointing. I couldn't believe I paid $27.50 for this thing which I could have generated on my local printer with better results. :U

The one I ordered was suppose to have my car on the cover and also the month of November. The cover was there but that was it. And of course the cover photo looked like a bad scan.

I haven't had time to deal with it since I got it. I agree, anyone else thinking about it, don't bother.

Sounds like the three of us got the same thing. Ordered the calandar with your car on the cover for 27 bucks and yes change. I was pretty disapointed, first with the quality of the prints, second, no names of the owners of the vehicles, or any other information. I believe they have seen my last paypal check. :cuss :cuss :cuss :nono: :nono: :nono:

If I would have wanted qualitly like this I would have ordered a ricer calandar :lol: :lol: :lol:

At least I still have my sence of humor, its only money :D :D :D

Glad now that I waited!! Very unfortunate. There are some very nice Corvette pictures that could have made for some real nice calendars.

Thanks for the heads-up. I receive one every year for Christmas (a staple), and one of them was of similar dissapointment. The pics were poor and some even had the wrong year in the description! :smash:

Whew!! I am glad you guys spoke up. I feel the exact same way. I also feel the "Editors choice" left alot to be desired. Maybe that was so more people would go custom, I sure did. Wasn't worth the $27.00 each.

Dave,
I'm sorry you didn't like the calendar. I was upset at the quality of the pic of your car, I thought it looked better in the pic we sent back and forth, but I guess that happens. Maybe it was just a fluke. Hope I didn't upload the wrong pic. I was pretty happy with my calendars and my dad liked his as one of his Christmas gifts. Some of the pics didn't fill the page because they weren't the full 600x800pixels but that showed on the site when you uploaded your pics or chose them for the calendar. Again, I was happy with mine, sorry you guys didn't like yours.

I like mine. But then agan I didn't expect a glossy printed calendar either. I probably could have printed comprable quality on the pricey laser printer at work :nono: but the hassle of doing the calendar part of it and that spiral thinggy makes it worth the price in my book.
