Shipping in Multiple Packages

Shipping in Multiple Packages (Em & Friends Greeting Cards)

If your order includes individually-packaged Em & Friends Greeting cards, they will ship separately and at different times at no extra charge to you. We group our individual Greeting Cards together to protect them being damaged during shipment; they are warehoused separately for this reason, too. This could result in your packages arriving at different times, but still within the expected delivery window.

Pre-Orders

What is a pre-order?

A pre-order allows you to reserve a product before its official publication date. By placing your order, you secure and pay for your item in advance, and it will be shipped to you on the publication date.

When will my pre-order be shipped?

Your pre-order will be shipped on the publication date. Please review the product page for the publication date of your item. Publication date can be found under the “Details” dropdown on the product page. Please note that delivery dates may be subject to change.

Can I change my shipping address after placing a pre-order?

Unfortunately, we are unable to change the shipping address after you have placed your order. To ensure your item arrives at the correct location, please make sure your shipping address is accurate when placing your order. If you anticipate moving near the time of the publication date, we recommend using your new shipping address at the time of checkout.

Out of Stock

We do our best to keep the website stock as up to date as possible. On occasion, an item may go out of stock between the time your order is placed and the order reaching the warehouse. In this case, your order will be immediately canceled, and your credit card will be credited for the amount you were charged.

Answers – Frequently Asked Questions

Page-A-Day Print Calendars FAQ

Where did the Page-A-Day calendar originate? 

  • Workman, in fact, invented the Page-A-Day® Calendar, which is why you see this “®” symbol on our product and throughout our communication. The first Page-A-Day calendars were announced in the spring of 1979—365 Words-A-Year, 365 Jokes, Puns, and Riddles, and 365 Women-A-Year. Please refer to our “About” page on pageaday.com to read the official story of Page-A-Day.

What are the sizes of Page-A-Day print calendars? 

How do I buy a Page-A-Day® Calendar if my local store has run out? 

  • Our calendars are available almost everywhere books are sold. Click on store at the top of this page, and to browse our complete calendar offerings for the year and to purchase them through the pageaday.com website. International customers can contact consumersupport@hbgusa.com for help assisting them with purchasing outside of the United States.

Website & Customer Support 

I have a problem with a print calendar published by Page-A-Day, like a printing error or a problem with the stand. What can I do?

Do you offer technical support?

  • This FAQs section should answer almost every question. Please read through this page carefully and you will likely find the information you need. For more technical support, please use our customer support form to contact us. If you can’t fill out the form, you can reach us by email at consumersupport@hbgusa.com. We are happy to help. 

Does pageaday.com use Javascript and/or Cookies? What other technical requirements should I know? 

  • Yes. The site requires that both cookies and Javascript are enabled on your browser. If either of these are disabled, it’s possible that you will encounter problems such as missing buttons, graphics that won’t load, blank pages, or an inability to enter our contests. 
  • If you are using Norton Internet Security (or any sort of fire wall) you’ll need to configure it to “allow browser identification.” If this does not work, try turning your firewall off completely. You should then be able to reactivate your daily calendar emails after registering with no adverse effects. 

Page-A-Day® Photo Contests 

What are the rules for the Page-A-Day Photo Contests? 

How do I know that the photo of my pet is high quality/ large enough? 

  • If you are using a modern digital camera, and you upload the photo at the highest resolution, chances are the photo will be high quality. If you don’t understand photo optimization, do not attempt to resize the image—most likely this will result in a lower-quality image. All images must be uploaded at the highest quality available in a JPG, Tiff, or PNG format. This file has to be at least 300 dpi for the format of the calendar (width: 5.25 inches or height: 5.25 inches). Remember that we can reduce a photo in size successfully, but not enlarge it. 

I entered my pet in your Photo Contest! Did he or she win? When will I find out? 

  • Our judges get so many entries that sometimes it takes several weeks or longer to get through them. If your pet is chosen to be in our print calendar, we’ll notify you by October of the year before the calendar date. So, if your pet is chosen for the 2025 calendar, you’ll be notified by October 2024. 
  • If you have not received notification of your pet’s acceptance in our website or print calendar, your photo may be considered for a future calendar. Our judges must first decide which photos meet their standards for print quality, and then which fit their editorial plan, so your pet still has a great chance of being chosen in the future. 
  • You are welcome to submit multiple photos of the same pet! 
  • For more details about our judges’ criteria, please read the full contest rules.
