And the date is still 2024 on all pages except the cover...it's basically the 2024 calendar with new pictures
SOB! I looked at the cropping and all that and never paid any attention at all to the dates! It IS just a 2024 calendar with new photos!

Unless it's an error in the file given to them, at which point, Wayne's gotten nothing from this, which would suck. It's not mislabeled, it's the actual 2024 calendar.

It would me a problem except 2024 was such a good year! I'll just relive it. I guess I'm going back to Spearfish with Madmudder. My condolences to Madmudder.

I don't want to live 2024 over again! I can do more good stuff this year, but I want to leave all the crap from last year in the rear view!

I can't apologize enough. This is 100% on me. Unfortunately my calendar was also caught up in shipping delays so I wasn't able to notice anything wrong before it was too late. I still don't have mine.

I feel awful and I'm really sorry for letting everyone down. I'll see what I can do to make things right.

Just for reference, the "Standard" is the only one wrong. The Emphasis, the Large Print, and the Stylish are correct, on LuLu's previews.

Good observation Festus. This could be on Lulu along with the faulty cuts.

If you ordered a calendar before today (1/2/2025), please send me a PM so we can get a count of who has incorrect calendars.

:( Yeah, that's a deal breaker. I already have 2- 2024 calendars, so I don't need 2 more 2024 calendars because it's 2025 now. lol.
Sorry. No good deed goes unpunished. lol.

PM sent to Wayne.

Tim, it's the printers job to proof read so I don't fault you on this one. I'm ticked off at myself for not spotting it right away

My last 3 years at that job I ran a sheeter, a large cutting machine that just converts rolls of paper into sheets of paper. I got out of the habit of looking at what was printed......

Tim is contacting Lulu to see if there's any help from them to be had (for the cropping issue).

We are exploring options for replacements as well, should Lulu not agree to reprint them.

Our apologizes on the dates - I was one of the reviewers and I missed it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Not how I see it. You volunteered to take on a project to help the forum. On top of all you already do. Project went a little sideways.
No motorcycles or person were hurt. If anyone feelings were hurt, then they are probably in the wrong corner of the internet. :lol:
I don't feel let down.

So moving on...........

If Lulu will fix the problem on their dime I would like mine replaced. If it's coming out of forum or other funds then I am fine with what I have. We can mark it off as tuition and move on.

I just like looking at the pictures anyway.

I agree with Dan. I look at pitcherz. I want to support FJRiders. If anything is coming out of Riders pocket, that's a big NO for me. Only if its coming out of the Printer's pocket would I want a redo.
