Sending photos to USA

trubster

I am sending some photos to the USA for family and I dont really want to pay over £20 postage as there is quite a lot, is there any cheap sites I can use in america and use my debit card with a uk billing address and us postal address?

Thanks

if they were from a digital camera, you could email them or get them put onto a CD and just post that - they can print at the other end.

Was gonna suggest a similar thing there is also companys like photobox which you can upload photo's then others can order sure there must be an US type company as well. Even if photo's are hard copys might be worth scanning and sending to save the postage

You could upload them onto truprint and then share your album with your friend in America that's what I do.

If you want to send the actual prints rather than asking them to print it, it would probably work out cheaper to get the prints sent to yourself and then use the royal mail to post internationally.

£20 implies a very heavy package!
What rate are you looking at - Air Mail Letter?
I always send photos from UK abroad as Printed Papers - this is significantly cheaper than letter rates, and does not necessitate a Customs Form.

P.S. Royal Mail rates ALL going up on Monday 2 April 2007!

I woud personally recommend that you stick them onto a disc or card and then tell them to go down to Wal-Mart and get them printed ut in an hour for 14 cents each. That way it'll be cheaper than the postage.

If you send them Airmail via Royal mail, at Small Packet Rate they will cost around £1 per 100 grammes, max weight is 2Kg.

The envelope/ jiffy bag shoud be marked as such.

Cheers, I was rather suprised at the cost actually, I sent about 30 photos for £2.79 Small Packet Airmail. Only thing is I printed it online and forgot to sign the customs declaration... oops

I was after having about 100 printed from my digital camera, I already use snapfish, but rather than using a UK company, I was after using an american one that lets me use a UK postal address.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Yahoo Photos should be able to do what you want
