I ordered 100 of the calendars from Merrill. Got them awhile back. I just opened a pack of them tonight. They are VERY nice, great quaility! BUT, where they made the hole for you to hang the calendar with, they did a crappy job. Looks like the took a nail and just forced it thru. Tears all around. I'm calling Merrill in the morning.

Anyone else notice this?

I haven't even looked at mine yet...I should check mine out! I bought mine at conference.
 
Just double-checked mine. They're fine. If you don't want to hassle with sending them back, you could always use a small hole punch to clean up the hole--assuming, of course, that the damaged area isn't too large.
 
Did you all see in yesterdays newswire that they aren't accepting orders for them after Mid Oct? And they are backordered again?
I was planning on getting some but now I'm not.
I am really disappointed w/ Merrill yet again.
 
I would call... they need to know about quality issues! I'm sure they will do what it takes to make you happy.
I just went on line and ordered mine :) and I got the black and white bag for free!
 
You can still "pre-order" the calendars through October 15th, with arrival by November 7th (so they say...I guess we'll see)...after 10/15, you will no longer be able to order the calendars...I'm ordering today & will post again when I receive mine.
