Thanks worked for me and best of all the total was definately 0, no credit card needed


I wonder why red? It really pisses me the "F" off when someone gives red and moves on without an explanation! What's the point??


NO CREDIT CARD NEEDS TO BE ENTERED.

Instructions ripped from SD, thanks Lila and idlebrain:

** Instructions

1. First need to select the photo book size.
2. Landscape, M size is the only one with price 12.95, rest are all above this price.
3. Once you selected, it will ask to you install 'photo express creator" application. Click 'install'. Might take ~5 mins.
4. While installing select 'Run the application after installation'.
5. Application will open after installation, select title for your photobook (Optional - $3.99) and background visual.
6. Now add pics to your photobook from your computer or online (Photobucket etc). You can add exact number of pics that fits or less is also OK.
7. Provide shipping address, enter promo code momspaceab81 etc.
8. Finally it shows $0.00, ...wait..not yet over...now all the pics will be uploaded to the server, takes 1-2 mins. Done.
9. You will receive confirmation email from albelli.

This happened to me, it turned out I had "text on the cover page" selected. Check your settings on the cover page and turn off any text if you have it.

HTH


I spent a good amount of time creating the photobook. It didn't ask for a credit card and total came to $0.00. I really hope it comes after all the effort I put into it! And make sure you save it frequently while you are creating. I had it crash on me twice. Traffic to the site could be picking up.


Free is tempting but the editing software sxxxs. You may end up wasting time.
I spent an whole hour making it and then the editor randomizes the order of my photos.

If contents and editing is not important and you have enough patience, please try this.


Just placed an order

+ Works well on Mac
+ Easy, simple UI
+ Free!

- Slow for some operations (crop then save for e.g.) but mostly ok
- Poor choice of layout templates but the positive there is the layouts are customizable i.e. resize each photo as well as move around the positon of the photo on the page within a template which most others don't offer

Since this is free, some one has got to ask the question ... has anyone tried to place multiple orders to the same address and got the free deal?


How's the quality? Never heard of the site, before.


24 pages is max for free. As many pics as you can fit. # of pages determines price.


Gave it a shot. Thanks


I am getting an 1009 error when trying to instal the software... Any suggestions?

What operating system are you using?


it's charging me $5.99 for shipping. Any thoughts on how to get free shipping?


Worked for me. I read the reviews and they weren't the best, and I already have a photo company I get my books for, but this was good to throw a little book together for my son to have all his family members that we live away from in...and of course a bunch of silly photos of himself. I will report back how the quality is when I recieve it....still a good deal!

Yep got the same thing

Dear Customer,

Thank you for using the albelli photo book creator. We have successfully received your photo book.

Your order will be put into production once we have received confirmation of your payment. You may have already received a confirmation email depending on which payment method you have selected.

Should you have any questions regarding your order, you can contact us at service@albelli.com or alternatively visit our forum at http://www.albelli.com/forum.

Best regards,

albelli customer service


"The demand for the Momspace promotion was more than 50 times what we expected. You can still use the promotion code, but free shipping and handling will no longer be included." Shipping is $5.99. I guess that makes it a "HOT DEAL" now.


Hi,
Although a little late, here is a reply from Albelli. In the past days we have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reaction of many of you to our offer for a free photo book. As our first priority was to make sure that you would be able to order your book, we have not been able to answer the questions that you posted.

Now that we have made sure that all the ordered books are going to be printed in the next few days, please let me answer your questions:

1) Who is Albelli?
As you can read on http://www.albelli.com/thecompany we are truly for real. With over 1 million books printed in the last 12 months, we are one of the largest photo book producers in Europe. This year we decided to bring our experience to the US.

2) What are the conditions of this deal?
The code allows for a free photo book with a value of $ 12.95. Shipping ($ 5.99) is not included. The offer is valid until Sunday September 8 and we allow a maximum of one free book per household. But you are free to forward this offer to your friends and family.
You may elect to buy a larger book, add additional pages, or print a title on the cover. We will simply deduct the $ 12.95 from the total amount.

3) Do I get a confirmation once my order is placed?
You should be getting a confirmation e-mail after your payment has been authorized. Due to high traffic some orders were getting into our back-end systems after some delay. So in some cases you may receive a confirmation email some 24 – 48 hours after you placed the order. If you still have not received a confirmation, please contact our customer service through service@albelli.com .

4) How long will it take for my order to be printed?
Usually we ship within 72 hours after your order has been received. Even though we have received far more orders than anticipated, we still expect that most of the orders will be shipped within 4 working days. You should be receiving an email once your order has shipped.

5) What does the software do?
We are using new Adobe technology (AIR) which requires a small install on your computer. During installation a warning may come up saying that the application requires unrestricted access to your computer. This is needed so you can use images from your hard drive in your photo book. This software is not a Trojan horse, nor do we collect any other data than is needed for printing your photo book.

6) Do the white text boxes appear in the final product?
No, the white text boxes just show the size of the caption. Only the text in the caption box will be printed. If no text has been added, no text will be printed.

7) Problems?
Due to heavy traffic, our website and application may not have been performing as you would expect. We apologize and have already fixed most of these issues, and will continue to address issues as they arise. If you are still having trouble, please contact us through www.albelli.com/help

Thank you so much for entrusting us with your pictures. We are working hard to turn them into a valuable keepsake.


I checked the forum, they said due to larger number of orders, a lot of people didn't get confirmation email, and we can email from the email address we used to order to check the order status. I emailed them but haven't got back from them yet. I also got an email saying waiting for payment to be applied. So I still don't know if they are going to give me this book for free or not.

That's exactly where I'm sitting too.

I was quick and ordered a little bit after I seen the post... received the book either today or yesterday. The quality isn't the best, but it is suitable, and the book size is SMALL! maybe 8x6 in size.


OMG.... Don't do it.
I was having a frustrating time on this site last week. I got an email from them this morning about them having a computer glitch with my payment. So called the bank this morning to check my balance...They charged my account 17 times. A grand total of $678.47. I can not find a phone to contact them. I wrote back and waiting for a responds.


I went thru creating the free photo book, it took FOREVER, well actually like 3 hours. Anyway, I receive the book finally in the mail, only to find out the pictures I chose were missing from some of the pages! Also, the captions are all over the place! The font color (hot pink) looked more like a peach color.

Quality is ok only, I've seen better printed quality. The book cover is pretty nice. The size is quite small, so if you print one picture a page, it will look great, otherwise, I did two and three pictures, they were decent only. Everything was free, & I like looking thru it, so that was a plus.


Received my order yesterday and am very happy for free. They did miss out on one page though - which turned out blank. The print quality is certainly not the very best but am asking too much for free. Shutterfly has worked out better in terms of print quality for me. But next time, am gonna give mpix and Adorama a try.

thanks once again, OP.


I received my book yesterday as well. Not as good as Shutterfly, but free is FREE

BTW...my book included a blank page a few pages from the end

Thanks to the OP


I recieveed mine the other day....was decent, especially for free!!


Not sure what people above have meant by quality as "decent" but compared to Picaboo, Shutterfly, Snapfish quality is very poor. The photo paper is much thinner, the "linen" cover looks pretty amateurish and the picture quality is bad as well.

Also as an insult to my intelligence, got an email about multiple orders placed by me when I only placed one (unless the fact that I was thinking of placing one more was somehow telepathically perceived by them). I replied back to them advising them to be careful about accusing their customers without basis and I got a form letter that my order will take a week to be shipped.

Will not order from them in future.

P.S. : BTW, one picture was missing from the book (1 out of 4 in a page so it is clear that it was missed)
