Got my prints today.

For anyone else who bought it GrabOne have a framing deal for a dublin company- link
€29 for a €80 voucher.

I phoned them and they said framing a 30" by 40" photo would cost about €140, would be dry mounted. So with the voucher it'd be about €89 (€29 for €80 value voucher & remaining €60).
Tell them Patrick sent you.

Ironic posting up rip off merchants in the Bargain Alerts section! €140 quid for a frame? IKEA, have a frame for €20! Link is posted earlier in this thread.

Yup a Stromby although it's not quite 40 x 30 and you'll have to do a little trimming.

No use to me though as I was a greedy bastard and got the 45 x 30....been checking around for some of this MDF stuff and have been told B&Q is your only man.

If I was going for Ikea frame I'd go with a mounted frame- like the Ribba one.

Yes, they are a hell of a lot cheaper than frame shops BUT the frame quality wouldn't be quiet as good and the picture wouldn't be dry mounted.
I also priced one locally in Galway and for double mount & frame it's €119.
It's a big difference in price alright, I think I'll check out an Ikea one to being with and probably buy one. Can always buy one from a frame shop down the line if not happy with the Ikea one.

I bought a load of the Ribba ones before, €10 each (to fit an 8" by 12" photo) and they're good but not as good as one from a frame shop (€33ish).

I just think you'd be mad to think people would spend near €100 to frame something they bought for €8!

It cost 8 but that's discount price, normally 30.

Bought one Ribba and one Viserum frame, come with a large mount so will have to cut it to size. I'll give a full verdict once dry mounted and hung.

Still haven't received mine guys. It says it was shipped on the 3rd April should I be getting in touch with them or has anyone else had to wait this long?

that seems unusual, mine only took a week from order to receiving.

Mine said it was shipped 4th Apr 2014 and I haven't received it yet. I presume it'll arrive today though, if it's not arrived today I'm gonna start wondering where it is.

here's some of mine in frames (crudely insterted, no glass on). It's actually plastic and not glass
I bought the Virserum frame from Ikea and was thinking of cutting the mount but might just go without it

1. love this but it's lost the image quality so will have to bin it
