Good photo lab in Ireland?

    So far I got large print runs done by photobox.ie but I need something closer to home. The .ie domain suggests that the company is Irish but in fact the lab is located in London.

    Quality is good but shipping times are not. They print an order within an hour of uploading but with Royal Airsure Express it took two WEEKS for the prints to arrive - on two occasions! The normal (and cheaper) air mail takes "only" between four and ten days.

    So I'm fed up and am now looking for recommendations of a photo lab in the Republic which offers:

    - good quality
    - image upload
    - delivery by post

    They don't need to be cheap as long as they are good. And they should not try to "improve" my images without asking. :rolleyes:

    Bit of a thread bump...

    I used photobox last year, but their website is currently quoting prints from €9999.92... and is appearing to me in French.

    So I thought that I'd ask to see if anyone has any insights... I do a few prints/year, with the exception of the yearly Inflatable Santa print run of 100 4x6. Ideally, I'd like a lab professional enough to provide a colour profile, but will settle for the promise to not autocorrect contrast and hue if asked nicely.

    Delivery by post essential.

    I know they used to have a policy that when you uploaded any photo to them, you transferred the copyright to then, and they started selling it as stock photos.
    I don't know if that's still the case, but there's no way I'd use them.
