Shutterfly discounts?

[kellia]

After seeing the thread on digital scrapbooking, I made a couple on Shutterfly! Wow, don't know how long it's been since a picture we took was actually printed.

Right now, they have 30% off and free shipping on orders over $30. Should I get them now or wait a bit for a better discount? I'm not sure what their offers usually run.

Thanks!

I have a bordering on unhealthy obsession with Shutterfly I do not buy books unless they are 50% off with free shipping. I consistently make them, then wait for a sale. I try to do it as much ahead of time as possible so I'm not worrying about them having a sale at the right time. They almost always have SHIP30 (free shipping over $30) active, and photobooks go on sale a lot.

If you want to order now, then 30% off isn't a bad deal- but know that they do have 50% off sales (it very rarely gets better than that but I have been able to stack codes before to get better).

Also depends on the price of your book. It's not unusual for me to make a $100-$200 book, so waiting for 50% off is key for me. If it's just a $30 book, it doesn't make as much of a difference obviously. Although right now it looks like their sale is 40% off 12x12, 25% off 8x8 and 8x11 and 15% off 7x9 and 5x7 but maybe you have a different code than what I'm seeing.

Thanks for the advice! I an so excited to see what they look like when printed! Glad I waited, it was only 30% off yesterday and now it's 40%!

I usually wait until there's a 40% off sale. They have them pretty frequently. (I don't think you see 50 nearly as often and I;m not that patient!). They almost always have the free shipping over $30.
