Margaritaville 2017 Calendar - Help

Post by davenrobin »

This could probably go under the shopping report but in this case, I am seeking and not finding. My wife and I are long time fans and I have relied on BN for a number of years to keep up with the latest news. I am looking for some help :cry: I have purchased her a calendar for Christmas every year for the past several years and apparently missed the boat this year. I have checked everywhere, on-line, Amazon, HSN, spent the morning calling the various cafe retail locations all to no avail. The following is the email I received from the Margaritaville Customer Service:

"Hi David,
Thank you for your e-mail! I hope this message reaches you well and you are having a great day!
I am very sorry to report that we are completely sold out of the 2017 Calendar. Unfortunately we are sold out for the season and will not have any available stock.
Thank you so much for your time today, if you would have any other questions concerning our products please feel free to contact us"

So I thought I would put this out there and see if someone bought an extra that they would be willing to sell. I'll obviously pay the shipping and try to think of something to sweeten the pot. Thanks in advance!

Did you try the one in Key West? They had them in stock during MOTM.

I've run into the same situation in the recent past. Margaritaville definitely doesn't produce enough of their own calendars. They are out of stock without even any promotion. A good substitute I've ordered in the past is the Rob O'Neal Florida Keys & Key West Calendar. Either search that phrase or use kwcalendar.com. He includes some very nice photography and it gives off the right vibe for the year with great photos. Hope this works for you.

Thanks for the suggestion. For her it is probably more about Jimmy than the Keys but I appreciate your feedback.

Does anyone have any thoughts on going to the publisher?

My wish was granted thanks to the wonderful Debbie and her friend, Linda. In a period where things have been difficult for me on a few fronts, one persons willingness to dig a little deeper and solve what was kind of a meaningless (to most) request, meant so much.

Be kind to one another people and when you can help someone, as small as the favor may be, you'd be surprised how much it might mean.

God bless!

They are both true parrotheads with huge hearts!
I'm glad things worked out & hope your wife enjoys the calendar.
You're only as young as you are right now. Make the best of it!
