Blurb & RedBubble - Free Shipping on all Books and Photobooks
We have some excellent and exciting news. And it’s about photobooks.
“What’s that? Are you finally doing photobooks? Have our pleas been heard?”
I only wish I could sit here typing such epic news, but due to reality never quite matching the dreams we have in our heads, we still consider photobooks to be a product a little further in our future. It will happen one day, but that day is not today. And probably not tomorrow.

But we know you want them, and we don’t want to let you down. So, with Christmas on the horizon (is it me or is it always on the horizon?) we set out to find the bestest and friendliest photobook company we could in order to bring you this excellent offer.
Blurb admirably reached our high product standards and agreed to work with us to bring you free shipping on any of their products until midnight 24 November (New York time).
To receive the free shipping offer use the following codes during the Blurb checkout process:
- For AUD: RedBubble-09
- For EUR: RedBubble-094
- For GBP: RedBubble-093
- For USD: RedBubble-092
You can take it from us, the books are of the highest quality, whether you whip up a fine photographic hardback with a dustwrapper or just a simple perfect bound collection of your short stories, you won’t be disappointed at their attention to detail.
To become a Blurbarian, is much like becoming a Bubbler, you sign up for free and then can either download their BookSmart software to create your photobook, or use any editing software you already have to upload a PDF. They really couldn’t have made it much simpler or more efficient.
Who doesn’t want to call themselves a Blurbarian Bubbler eh?


Are you looking for smallprint? Well it’s here:
The Free Shipping offer only applies to standard economy shipping, not their private jet ‘get it before you’ve made it’ service, which is probably fair enough. And the free shipping code can be used once per customer – so make the order count!

Good work Redbubble!!
Blurb do an amazing job!
(just watch out they don’t have a hidden limit as lot of their advertised “FREE shipping” is then limited to $20 or something similar that doesn’t actually cover all the shipping costs to another country!)

I’m not quite seeing the RedBubble tie-in here. Does this mean that RedBubble how has an API that BookSmart taps in to? Or does it just mean that RedBubble have got a general deal for people to get free shipping?
For example, does it mean that anyone can buy a copy of a book I recently created on blurb and get free shipping using the above code, even though the book already existed and has no connection with RedBubble.
RedBubble replied 25 days ago
We’ve just negotiated a good deal for the members of RB – the code can be used more generally on Blurb (i.e. for books previously created on Blurb).

This is brilliant. so good of you to collaborate with another company this way thinking purely of the members leading up to Xmas.
While I’m here hope you don’t mind if I go off topic… I’ve had a few people in Tee HQ asking about kids tees for Xmas and I noticed in the feedback and suggestions area that Peter wrote they could be coming within the next month. Can I tell the members a more accurate time line.. .will it be end of Nov? (they’re very excited about it… as am I).
Thanks as always RB for your neverending ideas and ways to make this place even better than it already is.

So, why not interface rb to blurb and take a cut of the referrals instead of reinventing the wheel? Similarly, can I make moo.com cards using my portfolio?

So…you can make up books, as opposed to collections in the shape of calendars?
Can these books include text too?
What about packs of cards?
Do you have to pay Blurb to have books made up, or is it the same arrangement as with Red Bubble?
