Greetings from Colorado!
I'm beginning to get regular print orders from the UK and am looking for a reliable UK company that can print and ship my images for those orders. This would avoid the high shipping costs, import duty and delays between the time prints are ordered and the time they are received. Here in the US I have a company (whcc.com) which does the majority of my prints. I simply upload the image over the Internet, they print it and mail it before the day is over. They do an excellent job with both large (30x40) and small (8x10) prints, maintaining the colour perfectly with each order and ensuring timely delievery at a good price. Does anyone have experience with a similar company in the UK?
Many thanks!

Hi Erik
Photobox provide a service for customers to order prints direct from the web.
There are various levels of service from a no frills free option to a customised option which can link to your own website.

I have used this service for the last 2 years and it is reliable, good quality, and the service is very good (although I don't use the print purchasing option).
cheers
Sean

The best thing about photobox is their speed- unless you get a huge number of prints (and they have to use a courier). I have submitted files after 3pm, and got the prints the next morning.
