Photo prints

    Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to where I can print off around 50 photographs from my usb, photo paper quality, glossy, and that's under 10€? I just missed out on a sale in the Hickeys Pharmacies, 50 for 7.99€.

    Also, i've found this website - photobox. Read mixed reviews about it. I signed up and it says i'm entitled to 60 free prints, all I have to do is pay for shipping. Is this legit? Is the quality of the paper the same used in regular photo printing places?

    Any suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated. I live in Dublin, so, nowhere outside of Dublin please.

    Photobox are excellent and they'll print whatever you send them. Very quick too and quality is spot on.

    I'd just like to give a mini update on my experience with photobox, in case anyone is ever in doubt as I was.

    I recieved my photo prints today in the mail. Ordered them on the 24th, recieved them on the 30th, so they got here within 4 working weekdays, which was great, 3-5 days is around how long they predict your order will be delivered. They arrived in a typical dirt aluminium plastic paper of some sort, with my details etc, and then inside was a cute little box with my photographs inside. Very handy, was quite pleased. I ordered 57 out of my 60 free prints, and I recieved all 57, + 2 extra prints, 1 was a smaller version of a specific photograph I had ordered, with my details and their details on it, the other was a print with the small thumbnails of all the images I had ordered. The quality of the paper is great, as good if not better than the quality of the prints i've always payed for! I ordered with gloss, turned out great too, i'm always wary of gloss. The quality of the actual images really impressed me also, not only because I expected them to not have taken care of my photographs seeing they were basically free, but also because a lot of them were photoshop images with very vibrant colors, and I wasn't sure how that was going to show on paper. They looked wonderful :). The cropping was spot on for some of them, for others there was a lot of white showing, but I will say that that is not their fault, as my images were too big, and I guess I didn't use their cropping tool on the website properly.

    I've absolutely no complaints, I was quite nervous waiting for them as they are for college and I have a deadline coming up in days, but the delivery was spot on, the images were of great quality, and I literally payed €3.19 for 57 quality prints and shipping, as opposed to €20 euros like I was going to have to pay for only 45!
    There's an offer now for 50 free pints if you register now, I recommend you all give it a shot if in need of 6x5 or similar sized prints, as it will only cost you 2-3 euros!
