    I usually upload mine in smaller batches of say 25.

    That way if an upload fails you have only lost the last 25 and not spent hours uploading 150 to find it hasn't worked!

    I uploaded 100 at the same time and it took 1hr 12mins - i not got the best speed of internet but all loaded on and i'm now waiting for deliveries over next few days!!
    I also wanted to mention - The pics can be uploaded anytime and ordered up to a month after you initially sign up, there is a 30 day expiry date on the offer. Example - sign up on 6th August and expiry is 5th september. So no need to rush it all now, as long as you sign up be 12 midnight tonight!!
  • Thanks clairy-lou and lawlorlane. I have signed up and will upload tomorrow. My computer is sooo slow I will wait to do it on my ds's. Very handy as I have just been to a wedding abroad and have taken about a hundred photos.

    Photobox is very slow to upload ive found , Truprint is about 4 times quicker due to the software they use.

    :o Having ordered from both i would agree that Truprint are a little faster but not fast enough for me to pass up 100 pics for free!! (+ postage!!) ;):p
  • How much was the postage, mse'ers? I did sign up in time but their system was a bit overwhelmed yesterday (I think).

    Postage is £1.50. 100 pics for a bargain £1.50 is brilliant in my opinion, it works out at -
    £1.50 (div) 100 = 0.015 :T
    so 1.5p per pic, and you dont have to move out of the house!!!:D
