  • yep, mine was waiting for me this morning, absolutely great, saves on photo's cluttering up the house and looks lovely. agree with xCherryXBabyx above, no need to take off the free options (logos etc) as it is just fine!
    ... and whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should ...

    Thanks for this - it took me ages as the site purely refused to upload my pictures for no apparent reason but all sorted now.

    4 days of trying, 4 hours to get my photos onto photobox as it kept closin IE for no apparant reason, 2 hours to get them in order and write all the little bits and do some tweaking.

    I go to hit the order button to find out its gonna take another 4hrs 38mins and 27secs to finish uploading my pictures :eek::eek::eek: and its been saying the same time for an hour, coutdown goes down, goes back to where it was to start with, what a waste of a day off.

    So I cant order it until its finished, just hope someone doesnt close the page by accident.

    Did you put for them to be uploaded high quality as that does take a long time? For the photobooks the normal quality is fine. I am only asking as this happened to me on another site I didn't notice I had clicked high quality and it wasn't needed for what I was doing.

    I think there must be something wrong, as when I did mine it took a few minutes to complete the order. I find IE is not very good these days for some reason and I downloaded firefox for free and use this now instead and it seems quicker IMO and less problems.

    If you have saved the book as you did it, you can just go into your account later and look at your creations and order it from there.

    Yeah i selected quick upload, ive never had a problem with photobx before im a photographer and use them all the time as their pictures have the best quality of all the online print retailers.

    Its not a problem now anyway as IE decided to ''not respond'' so it closed down and i lost the lot. I cant be bothered to spend another god knows how many hours adding them all again for it to happen yet again.
    Yes i did save the boook after every page, but its not showing in my account so its a gonner.

    I checked mine online and it seemed fine. I followed the "email a friend" link and there are several photos missing. Anyone else had this? I'm wondering if I'm going to get a half empty book.

    The software crashed for me the first time so I wasted several hours putting the book together.

    I think it is best to upload all your photos you want to use in the book into one of the albums before starting to make your photobook.

    This Free Delivery Code popped up (after I had ordered), not sure if it can be used with this offer but hope it helps someone...
