My California Calendar 2022

I did receive all my orders before Christmas of 2021. I was quite surprised that the calendar was in book form but not in calendar type to hang up. They were useless. The photos on each page were substandard and quite thumbnail small. Very disappointing and not up to my satisfaction. Never order again!

Absolute Scam - DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR WORK OR MONEY!!

This is such a scam. I was told one of my photos was chosen only to see in the preview that it's one of the hundreds that made it as a thumbnail. And the calendar is letter size (or A4) so how are you suppose to see each super small thumbnail size photo?
But to be supportive, I ordered my calendar in November 2021. I was charged twice but thankfully I was reimbursed for 1 of them. Today, March 16th 2022, I'm still waiting for my calendar. I sent 13 emails, got a response only twice and only to be told to wait 3 to 10 business days as they are in the process of printing them. That was in December and the other time in February.
DO NOT SUBMIT YOUR WORK OR YOUR MONEY! Like ever...

I Also Believe this is A SCAM!

I think this company should be charged for fraud! In good faith, I like others ordered the calendar when they sent me an email saying one of my baking photos had been chosen! In fact I ordered 8 calendars thinking they would be a great gift for my siblings and friends. I ordered in November 2021 for a cost of $150US. After several emails, the calendars arrived near the end of January 2022. BUT as others have stated, they are of the poorest quality of any calendar I've ever seen! The ones I have bought at the Dollar Store are of far more superior quality! And they have so many thumbnail pics on each page, the calendar does not hang up either, so is not at all useful. The calendar is entitled "The World's best Baking", yet there are photos of other foods such as pasta salad and veggies that are definitely NOT Baking!
I tried to contact the company via email, but no response! As I had absolutely no use for the "calendars" I paid the $20.00 postage and sent them to the Returns address in UT on January 28. To date the postal service tracking number just comes up with an "in transit" message. Today is March 14--so soon will be 2 months since I shipped the package. Now the Postal Service says they cannot refund any monies back to me until the "Addressee" notifies them that they have not received the package! So I'm stymied in every direction! They have my money; I returned the Calendars; they will not respond to any of my emails. PLEASE DO NOT EVER ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY! Hopefully my experience will help others to never trust this company.

Not what I was expecting.

To say I was less than thrilled would be an understatement. This is a scam, I was lead to believe that my photo was selected for a specific month on a calendar. Apparently, every photo they received was used as a thumbnail pic. Just a bunch of thumbnail pics on a page across from the month on the next page and it isn’t even set up like a calendar. More like a book. I can buy a calendar at the dollar store with better quality. Don’t fall for this scam.

TOTAL SCAM!!! Beware and Spread the Word!

In October, 2021, I submitted a picture to "Indie Treasure" hoping it would be selected to be featured in their 2022 Hawaii Calendar. In November, they informed me via email that my picture was selected for the 2022 calendar and identified prices for ordering copies of the calendar and that publishing would occur approximately mid-December. I ordered two (2) calendars (in November). By early January, 2022, I had not received the ordered calendars. I sent an inquiry to them requesting status...no response! I sent a second inquiry to them and they replied stating the calendars would be published by 11 January. By 23 January, I still had not received calendars so I sent another email inquiry to them and requested my order be cancelled and monies spent be reimbursed...no response! I then informed my credit card company of the issue. At the end of January (29 or 30), I received the calendars and the quality was totally disgusting! Each of the year's 12 months featured 16-18 poor quality thumb nail images...on thin paper. The picture I submitted was shown on an extra page...not associated with any month...with 15 other thumb nail images. Another untitled page had 18 poor quality thumb nail images on it. The 12-month calendar has 254 poor quality thumb nail images in it! Very likely, everyone who was told their image was selected ordered at least one calendar ($20!)...if everyone ordered just two calendars, "Indie Treasure" grossed over $10,000 for each state calendar! Please BE AWARE of this SCAM operation!

I submitted pictures and received a response they had selected my pictures for an upcoming calender. I paid 25.00 for a calender, which I have never received.
I emailed them, expressing my concerns that I have been slammed, and they reassured me, "thus is not a scam and you will be receiving your calender soon ".
It's very infuriating to be duped!

TOTAL SCAMMERS

we submitted my daughters photo from a link on facebook, which appears to entice you into thinking your photo was randomly chosen for a calendar. Paid over $50 in October - ordered 3 for christmas presents, thinking what a lovely idea to showcase her photo. Calendars did arrive, although too late for Christmas. Calendars are of poor quality. . I could have made better using a well known app to do it yourself! Tiny thumbnail size photos, not any decent size at all, and guess what,? no image of our specified photo, so I had 3 calenders with no personal image included so completeley useless to me. I advised them via Facebook and by contacting so called customer services many times, since then December, and was promised a refund, Lo and Behold, its Feb now and no refund back. Utter garbage. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY . its a total SCAM.

Ripoff

I submitted my friends pic for the calendar and they texted me to say his pic will be used in the calendar. I ordered him a calendar for $25.00 in Dec. figuring he will get it by his birthday in late Jan. That did not happen we are now into Feb. and still no calendar. Ive tried several emails no no avail. Theres no way that I found to even request a refund. DONT DEAL WITH THESE SCAMMERS THIS IS BS

It happened to me as well. I paid the same amount and I submitted tons of Michigan pictures. Never got the calendar. Total scam. Bull[censored].

Yes it’s a scam to make you purchase calendar

Received my calendar and I am very disappointed with the layout as it can't be hung, and not usable on desk. Pictures are nothing but a thumb nail picture. $20.00 for this calendar is about $15.00 over priced. Would not recommend spending this much for an unusable calendar. Now they want me to join with password ? Why?

Scam trashy product not sellable even in a dollar store

Did anyone who did this ever even see a calendar in their life? No apparently not.
Those calendars are very poorly designed, and very poor quality and display of photos. Also the calendar isn't even usable in its format. At all. I wondered if they were made by inexperienced high school students for extra credit or made in China. I threw them away. What a waste of money!

Absolute rip off artists

Entered my scenic photo in what I thought was a local calendar competition. I was selected thinking I was one of 12 photos featured by I was not there were 18 thumbnail photos per page. Could barely see my photo. I was still proud that I got featured though but didn’t order it at the time, then they sent me a text saying it’s now also available as a puzzle which is cool. And they gave me a discount, not much of a discount I saved $5.00. The total was $56.00 or so I thought. I did not realise until after the transaction had been out through that they had charged me $73.00 instead because they charged international rates. I had no idea a local competition was based in America. So I was paying shipping costs. And I was like screw that. It’s not worth it. So I emailed them and told them I wanted a refund and they sent me a text saying a refund is being processed for $30.00! I replied back saying “is this a joke”? You owe me the full amount you charged me. So we shall see what happens.

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY! It’s the whole “if it’s too good to be true” moment

Astonishing Wisconsin Calendar 2022

Okay so here's the deal. I submitted a photo to hopefully be chosen as one of their selections to be featured in the calendar. It was and I was thrilled! They then gave me the offer to order the calendar, and even gave me a code to use to get 10% off my purchase. Like an [censored], I purchased one. That was in December of 2021. Here it is Feb. 5th, 2022 and still no calendar. I've emailed them several times trying to either get my calendar or a refund. Yea, I have better luck telling the wall to jump 2 inches to the right before they'll communicate with me. Needless to say, I'm launching a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Don't know if it will do any good, but at least it will be recorded.

It's a SCAM please don't ever give your money to these despicable scammers

I am humiliated and embarrassed by what I thought was a legit business. I sent them several pictures.. and I was ok with them picking just one photo of my cakes. What I was not ok with was they never tell you that #1 they select more than 12 photos and that they are thumbnails #2 that it is NOT a real calendar (they send the money they get from unsuspecting buyers like me on the cover page) #3 they don't tell you where your photo will present until AFTER YOU GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. I purchased these calendars for Christmas gifts and I was in tears humiliated when I opened the package. I felt duped. Correction I was duped. They put my thumbnail photo on page 30 of 32 pages. I spent over $95.00 on this scam and you can't even use it as a calendar because you can't hang it.. These people are disgusting humans

DON’T BUY THEIR PRODUCTS! Very low quality product

Indie Treasure is not worth the money. A photo of mine was chosen to be in one of their calendars. After paying over $20 to them and after months of me emailing them twice weekly ( with no response from them), I received a calendar that was very low quality ( the photos were blurry, the calendar was printed on copy paper). DO NOT BUY ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS!

Don't Be Duped

Do not pre-order like I did. Extremely poor quality paper / printing. Communications implied my photo was selected for a month only to discover its a thumbnail among 250+ others. What a pile of junk! A waste of my hard earned money. Never again!
