Moon Pig

Hi All,

Just thought I would say.. Moonpig have asked if they could have a spot on PiO to advertise their card services and I quite liked the idea of sending card from the Uk to the Uk as I'm in Oz so it seemed like a genius idea - and also folk in the Uk can order card in the Uk that are sent in Australia for Australia. Anyway I hope that makes sense - I just thought I would draw your attention to it.

Would love to know what people think of the idea?

Tim

PS I do get a small commission from each card sold through the advert - so it all goes into helping keeping PiO going.

Hiya Tim, I think this is a great idea, as I cant tell you how many times I have been late putting a card in the post to Oz and then my Nan having the hump with me for months on end!!

So thumbs up from me!

Regards Kim

I think its a great idea! ..

Members can choose to use or not use the facility as required.

Anything that helps such a great website run even smoother ... has GOT to be a good idea!

Yep, use Moonpig anyway so happy to do the same through a link on here. Just do it Tim!

Anyone doesn't know them, Moonpig do a whole range of cards that can be personalised over the www. Have used them from abroad several times and the convenience/speed of delivery gets my vote (price is similar to quality cards from a shop). I see this as being ideal for migrating people - you don't need to remember to send cards 2 weeks in advance or have to find a post office!

Never heard of them, but it seems a darned good idea to me.

Can you get them on in time for Christmas?

Only yesterday did i use Moonpig to send birthday card and i have also had some party invitations done for my sons leaving party. Its a great idea, i ordered them at lunch on Friday and they arrived in post this morning. I would certainly use them again. Great idea.

I'd never heard of them either but sounds a terrific idea

Definitely good idea, I sent 2 cards the other day to people back in the UK and they were great. If you front load your money on their site you get and extra £5 for £20 if that makes sense. So you spend £20 and get £25 to use on cards.
