FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
(and hopefully, some answers!)
Will you be doing a Vintage DC Comics or MARVEL Calendar again?
We’re grateful that so many of our customers appreciated our DC Comics and MARVEL titles as much as we did. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and so it is with these perennial favorites. Though these titles have been the ride of a lifetime for us here at Asgard Press, there’s only so much quality vintage artwork and we feel the time has come. We know our loyal fans will miss our yearly offerings of Spiderman, Captain Marvel, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and The Flash. We will, too. But just as one door closes, another opens, and we hope you will be just as excited about our upcoming new titles as we are.
What happened to your college football calendars?
Like our MARVEL and DC Comics titles, we have immensely enjoyed bringing your favorite college teams to our calendars for you. However, we feel the time has come to say goodbye to the old gridiron as we have showcased all the best of the vintage artwork in our collection. It’s been a wonderful trip in the time machine to the glory days of each school and we’re thankful so many customers made the journey with us. But we’ve developed many exciting brand-new titles and we’re sure you will enjoy them as much as we do.
Where can I find a calendar from a previous year?
Unfortunately we no longer sell calendars from previous years. So if you see a title you like, with images you’d like to frame, get it while you can! We clear out any remaining inventory by the spring—usually donating calendars to local senior centers—in order to make room for a new batch of vintage eye candy.
What are your calendar titles like? What’s in them?
We’re so glad you asked! Our calendars all feature vintage, retro, pop culture and history-themed images sourced from a number of collections and meticulously restored as display-quality artwork. All our calendars feature perforated monthly images for easy removal and display in standard sized 11"x14" frames so you can enjoy your favorites year-round. Our carefully curated and restored images include historical photographs and portraits, vintage posters, maps, artwork, lithographs and illustrations, and even original retro content that you won’t find anywhere else. Many of our calendars feature expanded commentary and captioning so you can enjoy the images in their full context. We are so excited to bring these titles to you each year and hope you are, too!
Where did your journal books, prints and notecards go?
After several years of carrying our plated and foil stamped journal books, poster prints and notecard sets, our inventory has depleted and with the ending of our college football and DC Comics series, we’ve decided it’s also time to say goodbye to journal books, prints and notecards. We do intend to revisit these product concepts sometime in the future.
Nice…but eco-friendly?
You betcha. We use 100% recycled paper for our posters (50% post-consumer waste, acid-free, sourced from an FSC-certified* paper manufacturer) and FSC-certified paper for our calendars, all using soy-based inks. FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. They provide certification to companies and products that meet rigorous standards in sustainable forest management and manufacturing processes.
How about your carbon footprint?
Due to costs, the vast majority of all calendars sold in the U.S. are manufactured overseas. Within this highly competitive, incredibly resource-intensive industry, we’ve made a total commitment to be an agent of change—while maintaining a ‘no compromises’ approach to innovative design and production quality. We‘ve worked exclusively with the same printer for over fifteen years—one of the most socially and environmentally progressive in Asia—and while we don’t claim to be better than anyone else, we do feel we are making a positive difference.
What is your privacy policy?
All customer information that you provide to us is never shared with any third party under any circumstances. We do not rent, sell, or trade away your personal information as a matter of principle. No exceptions and no excuses. We try to follow the golden rule in all our business practices and decisions. You can read our full privacy policy here.
How much is shipping?
All our Asgard Press products ship via USPS Ground Advantage (Standard Shipping) or USPS Priority Mail (Expedited Shipping). Our shipping charges are:
$3.99 for standard shipping (2-5 days)
$9.99 for expedited shipping (1-3 days)
Free shipping (2-5 days) for purchases of 2 or more calendars.
Posters and gift wrap ship separately from calendars (they are rolled and shipped in sturdy cardboard tubes) and ship for FREE!
Can I ship to multiple addresses with one order?
No, sorry, but you must have your order shipped to a single address. If you wish to ship items to multiple addresses, you must make multiple orders.
Do you ship overseas or to Canada?
All of our international orders are handled through our eBay channel. Please find us on eBay under the account name asgardpress.
Do you ever run sales? How can I find out about them?
We periodically offer great deals on our calendars. You can find out all about these deals and when they’re available by subscribing to our email list and following us on social media. The sign-up for our email list and the links to our social media accounts are on our homepage. Additionally, we run volume discounts all year. These discounts are explained on our calendar category page.
How safe is my payment information?
Extremely. We use technology that is the best in the business. Our shopping cart is secured by SSL/TSL technology and the Stripe payment gateway. We could go on about the technical details of state-of-the-art encryption technology and how your payment information is inaccessible even to our own customer support team, but the most important point is that you won’t find a more secure online shopping experience in the world today.
Fine, but what if I’m still not comfortable with online shopping in general? Or if I have other questions not answered here?
If you prefer, you can also order directly by phone (302) 295-8992, Monday thru Friday, from 9am to 5pm, EST. You can also email us at team@asgardpress.com and someone will respond to you promptly. We’re always happy to answer any questions you may have!
