Apologies if this is too early to post, it will start tomorrow afternoon. I got this years and it was actually pretty good. Facebook like will most likely be required as per last year, but hopefully one of you guys will be able to find a way around that (I know how many ppl don't like FB)

We'll be giving away 3,500 free 2013 calendars in the afternoon.

    Thanks for posting. Was just looking at this years one & wondering when Dulux would offer the 2013 calendar.

  • unity1 on 04/12/2012 - 20:13

    I remember this from last year. The calendar arrived in just a couple of days. It's huge.

  • altomic on 04/12/2012 - 20:18

    didn't like the size of the dates. almost too small to write anything in the squares.

    but I did like the retro style ads.

    I remember last time they even sent the calendar by a courier with signature on delivery and everything. I was impressed!

    • Kiz on 04/12/2012 - 20:34

      Yeah delivery was very fast and would have cost them a fair bit. Let's see if this one goes in no time again

    • deeevan on 04/12/2012 - 20:46

      Oh yeah.. the courier was bemused when I told him this was all for a free calendar.

  • parcus on 04/12/2012 - 20:43

    Why would I want a calendar with a picture of a dog with a bit of wood through the skull? Very morbid and mean to dogs!

      pretty sure the dog is biting the piece of wood.. you can practically see the wood in the mouth.. lol..

  • vipulrm on 05/12/2012 - 16:44

    I managed to get one. Used the Tab key to move to the next field on the form as scroll not working. Too long a wait and the process was not very smooth. But free is good :)

      Yeah it seemed to be partly working before but now it's just constant unknown errors for the last couple of minutes, I reckon they are rebooting the servers from their side.

      • Click_It on 05/12/2012 - 17:00

        Yeah they must be, something's not right…

    • hollykryten on 05/12/2012 - 18:14

      They might have added more calendars

  • FitzChivalry Farseer on 05/12/2012 - 18:31

    I can't believe the bitter *rsed people negging this.

    Dulux made it quite clear that there were only 3,500 calendars available and anyone who logged on to their site today could see the amount of likes and comments meant this was going to be a hit and miss affair once it finally opened - there were even a few ozbargain comments posted on the site.

    It's a paint store not a calendar store so no surprises there were server problems for hundreds of people logging in at the same time to try and score a freebie. Thanks to the OP for posting. Good luck to those who scored a free calendar, bad luck to those who, like me, didn't.

    To the whingers - you missed out on a free calendar, big bloody deal, move on! (and I bet you never bought a can of Dulux paint in your life :P)

    • TheBooleanOne on 05/12/2012 - 18:43

      Yep agreed.
      Wouldn't hurt to have people re-read the voting guidelines:
      http://www.ozbargain.com.au/wiki/help:voting_guidelines#nega…
      "Please do not vote negative just because a deal is sold out. If the title of a deal needs to be updated to reflect the deal no longer available, please use the REPORT link instead for mods to update the deal. Negative votes made for this reason will be revoked by mods."

    • aerona on 05/12/2012 - 18:56

      There is space for disagreement,

      1. There were many announcements that it was going to be up and running in 20 minutes but this happened one after the other which basically took over 1 and a half hours.
      2. Dulux announced that the servers will be stable after an hour once it went live and to check back in 1 hour but was already out of stock.
      3. Strenuous repetitive refreshing with absolutely no luck. I think the point you made "just a paint store" holds true for the servers lag but doesn't justify the fake announcements. (time wasted)

      To me that is worthy for a NEG but that's my opinion.

      • TheBooleanOne on 05/12/2012 - 19:04

        Again I can't see any of those reasons included in the voting guidelines ;)

        So the site was overwhelmed? And #3 helped exacerbate #2 as well.

        Lighten up, it was a freebie. The only thing you lost was a bit of time.

        I missed out too by the way.

      You're welcome, I personally completely forgot about it until just now. I used the link http://bit.ly/calendarMOBILE . It seemed to go through fine, but I'm not holding my breath for it seeing as a lot said theirs didn't go through.

  • Pumpkin_rrr on 19/12/2012 - 23:07

    Received mine today, thanx OP.
    Unfortunately the calendar is so big (like twice an A4) and the postman folded it in half, and it doesnt look like I can return it to the original form…. Perhaps Dulux can mark "Plese dont fold" next time.

  • Kiz on 20/12/2012 - 13:06

    The packaging last year was better with it being in a poster tube and registered mail. I assume it cost them an arm and a leg though and that's why they've changed it. Mine was a little creased also, but still happy with it. Glad you guys all like it :)

  • Dealer12345 on 21/12/2012 - 21:52

  • thebricoleur on 29/12/2012 - 20:00

    My sister purchased a lovely calendar as a Christmas present for myself and thus, have no use to this Dulux Calendar. For those who have missed out and are based in Melbourne, I'd be happy to give you mine.

  • Pumpkin_rrr on 14/01/2013 - 16:20

    I'd like to know how everyone hangs their Dulux calander.
    It has one hole in the middle, presumably for me to put it thru a hook, 3M or some sort.
    But I find it insecure so use some (ugly) thread…..

    • TScott on 14/01/2013 - 17:55

      I am using a smallest 3M removable wall hook (i don't know what they are exactly called) but they are a 1 by 2 cm rectangle see through hook, and the calendar hangs fine.
