Pricing question

Judy, thanks for the input Another thing to consider is that we do offer bulk discounts which apply if you order multiple copies of one book. Here is a link to our pricing page

Here is a link to our book binding page it lists the trim sizes as well as the costs .

Using our book binding page and our book pricing page you could calculate the base cost and a discounted cost for any book we offer.

Hi Jason,
If this is for business, do you need a stiff cover like a soft bound book? What quantities are you looking for? For business for cut sheets, catalogues, etc... I use printrunner.com, but this is for pretty big runs of several hundred to thousands. The colors were amazing and the prices and service were excellent. But this isn't for small runs. The company that has the specials (but quality of prints is really poor) is winkflash. They often have specials on their landscape, hardcover 8" x 10", 100 pages, for $19.99 but this does not include a high shipping cost. I wasn't happy with the quality of printing at all.

Thanks Judy. That definitely clears it up. Unfortunately I'm not sure what to do at this point. I was really hoping that I was right in my original pricing assumption, and that Viovio was just experiencing a pricing error during checkout.

While I completely agree with Viovio's quality, I'm really looking for something more affordable for my budget because this project is for my business and I need to save as much money as possible. If you have any advice, please let me know.

Thanks again.

Hi Jason,
I think where the confusion lies is that $4.99 is the base price for the book and you need a minimum of 20 pages to get it bound and printed - and this book does not include any pages at all for the $4.99 price. For a 28 page book I come to $11.99. 28 pages x $.25 per page = $7.00. So $7.00 + $4.99 (base price)= $11.99. Still the best deal, best quality online. In my other posts I have discussed another well known company that I have used for their specials, but the quality is nothing compared to viovio's. Distant family memebers have bought family albums that I've created here (not cheap ones because of the hundreds of pages) and have been very happy.
Hope this helps, Judy

I've uploaded my book, however I'm very confused about the pricing. On your Pricing & Specs page you have listed for Portrait: Perfect Binding Softcover with a minimum of 20 pages for $4.99 + .25¢ for each additional page. My book is 28 pages, so my price should be $6.99, ($4.99 + $2.00 (.25 x 8) =$6.99) but when I go to check out my book total becomes $11.99 per book. I haven't even chosen which method of shipping I'd like to use as well. What's the deal?
