Thinking about the December holiday season already? We are. It's our busiest time of the year, and because we hand-make all our albums to order, November and December can be very hectic - especially as we close down for three weeks over the NZ summer holidays. Short story: If you definitely want your Album or Press Book before the holidays, we'll need your order by the 10th of November (23 October if we're designing for you). Long story: We work really hard to get most if not all our November and December work out before the holidays, so even if you place orders in late November/early December we'll do our very best to get them to you. The advantage of ordering earlier is that it gives us more time to make sure everything's correct and ensure delivery. Close-down dates This year we close at 3pm on 22 December 2011 and re-open at 8.00am 16 January 2012 (a few of our office team will be back a week earlier). January bridal shows If you need sample albums for early January shows, please get your orders in early so you'll have them before the close-down! What you can do to ensure December delivery • Get your order (and all image files) in to us before the 10th of November. Make sure you've included everything - no missing files or information (eg text for titles). • Answer any queries, confirm your order and arrange payment as soon as you hear from us. Same if we find any problems with your image files. • If we're designing the album for you, sign off on the design promptly. Remember, your order can't go into production until this is all done. Looking forward to a hassle-free December! Anna
