50 6X4 digital prints free post £1.50 (merged)

Unlike me, please pay attention to the size of the photos you're ordering. The OP says 50 6x4s but for some reason my order says I'm getting 6x4.5s . Apparently it's the default setting.

This is no good to me as all mine are either cropped for 6x4 or taken with my dSLR which keeps the standard ratio any how. Plus, it's really difficult to get photo albums of the "slip in" type for this new size as they'll be too high (I've just been in WH Smiths, who had none, other than the whole page type ones).

Whilst 6x4.5s are will be best for an uncropped digital photo (taken on a non-dSLR) they might not fit your albums ..!

I've also found that photobox default to 6x4.5, although Snapfish detect if you're uploading photos in digital ratios and offer to change them to 5.4x4 or something (i.e. they fit a standard album but are shorter).

Hope this saves someone some problems!

(CS has very promptly got back to me and said they'll change the order - it's only taken them as long as it took to type this post which is impressive!)

Uploaded mine Monday night and got the photos this morning ... for £1.50, I wouldn't complaint about the quality .. anyway they look nice and better than what my photo printer could produce.

Ordered mine Tuesday night and recieved them early Thursday morning! Not bad delivery time at all!

Quality was good and colours rich! Uploading was a bit of a bind but i've experienced worse!

I got the free 50 prints from the above deal but have just found out that https://www.photobox.co.uk are offering 30 prints also for £1.50 but these prints are bigger at 7 x 5 (rather than the above offer of 6.5 x 4)

Still worth a go for £1.50.

I wonder if a lot of the photo uploading slowness people are reporting here is due to the fact that most high speed broadbands are capped at an upload speed of 256kbps? Our bb has been upgraded several times but never the upload speed.
