I do not recommend purchasing from Kolo, because the of the following experience:
On Monday, May 9, I called Kolo customer service and was told that, if I ordered a photobook by Tuesday, May 10 at 8:00 pm and paid for overnight shipping, I would receive it by today, Thursday, May 12. I submitted my order on Tuesday, May 10 around 6:00 pm. Since it is now late in the day, May 12, I just called Kolo Customer Service again to find out the status of the order and was told that it was shipped today and wouldn’t arrive until tomorrow the 13th.
We are having a 40th birthday party for my daughter tonight, to which we have invited a large number of her friends. This photo book was to be a feature of the evening, since it contains many pictures of my daughter as an infant and child. In fact, it was the only gift we had for our daughter. Had we been told that we needed to order it sooner, we would have. Alternatively, if we had been told it wouldn’t arrive on the 12th, we would not have ordered it at all.
