    Hi another example of what im looking for in case the other one wasnt clear http://www.technotape.com/products/products-browser?&mainCat=MC&cid=292&sid=293&products_id=1306

    I emailed that crowd and told them what i needed and they said to ring them, i also wanted a camera as an extra to our digital photo processing we were also going to do baby potraits in a small studio but when we explained we dont have much experience in photography so we were looking for something more user friendly and didnt really know what was the best options and thought they might suggest something suitable but they more or less said were better off dealing with a high street store as they only deal with proper photographers or something to that effect. Fair enough if this is the case but they were pretty snotty about it, they said theyd send out details of the envelopes too but never bothered. Still we ended paying over a grand between the camera Canon DX40 IIRC along with memory card, tripod stand, auto clicker and accessories so i guess that kind of money is above them.

    So other than that rant the reason im here is ive tried everywhere on the net and i need something to put 4x6 8x10 and 8x12 photo prints into but the 4x6 are the most important and although i found some in the US and was willling to pay shipping and customs they dont deliver outside the US.

    Is there any other alternative to use, im getting pretty desperate and need something for the opening of the store? Anyone any ideas?

    Since i mentioned bad service i thought id finish on a good point, someone here mentioned Sisslings Frames for mouldings and they know what customer service is, again didnt have much experience in framing as its been quite a few years, they brought us around and showed us some of the framing equipment in action, offered us tea, offered samples and full color brochure and said if someone didnt like the display we had in the shop to pick from the book and theyd have it down to use next day delivery to save us splashing out too much until we get up and running and asses the demand. Highely recommended and very friendly

    Sorry you had a bad experience with them, they were always super friendly to me. I would have always highly recommended them.

    Still the only people I know that supply them, theirs are high quality unbranded envelopes.

    You can also try worldofenvelopes.com not sure if they do the same thing but they have high quality letter envelopes if you dont come across anything else. I have used them before and they are very efficient.

    you could try JM photo for the envelopes


    I have had bad experiences with stewarts too

    Sisslings are great, alan is more than likely the guy you dealt with there and he is great.


    i buy quite a lot of materials from them for mounting and what not.

    If you need to buy something from a US company that doesn't normally export you could try using a package forwarding service such as "myus.com". They provide you with a US postal address and then when they get the package they forward it onto you.

    Note: I've never used one of these forwarding packaging services yet, so I can't really recommend which one you should use
