100% OFF: 40 Page Personalised Photobook from 'Photobook Malaysia' for RM0

This has to be one of the best deals of all time!

The proof is in the pudding - Over 133,000 vouchers sold!

The deal

Who can resist a deal that costs nothing? Oh, OK; RM0.

This is really a 20 sheet photobook with both sides utilised. So that makes it 40 pages. (Is it 170 or 190gsm/pg?)

The product is free but shipping isn't. You pay Groupon nothing to buy this voucher but you pay the merchant a shipping of RM8/book (for 6" x 6" soft-cover mini-book and west Malaysians) upon redeeming the voucher. The original price of the book is RM79.

What I think

"This is such an easy deal. I know it's free but shipping isn't so I got my card ready anyway. Before I knew it, I purchased the voucher without having keyed in my card details. Then it hit me; I don't even need a card! Not right now. Duh!"

 

The limitations

And I have until 19 May 2014 to redeem it. That's the expiry date stated on the (deal page and) voucher itself.

Rather than redeeming the Groupon voucher at the merchant's directly like we used to, you first have to convert this Groupon voucher into a Photobook voucher. This form is not very robust but it works. If you have submitted the 1st time successfully and you submit it a 2nd time (because you didn't know it went through the first time), it will tell you that your voucher code is invalid. That's because you've already converted it.

If it did go through, you'll receive an email from Photobook Malaysia instantly. (So check your email before you panic.) This email gives you your unique photobook voucher code that you will need to redeem your product.

Have fun designing!

I know you were jumping up and down the first time you saw this deal. I don't blame you. Only that, there is a learning curve but it isn't hard. It should be easy for a lot of people.

The 'photobook designer' is free to download. Install it into your computer. Oh, this isn't one of your inadequate local sites. It's much more professional than that. Consult the quick guide before you start to play around with the software.

It's point and click, of course. You aren't expected to design from scratch. You only need to select the photos you wanna use (your own photos, you noob!). Design wise, your choices are laid out for you. You only need to click (and maybe drag) to select the page layout, background, etc.



* Don't get the two mixed up. Convert the Groupon voucher into a photobook voucher first. Next, redeem the photobook voucher at the merchant's site. Do this anytime before 19 May 2014.

* You'll need to pay the shipping fee when you checkout at the merchant's site. You won't be able to checkout if you've not uploaded your photobook (that you designed).

* Update: Fast approaching 150K vouchers sold!
