My apologies! I really didn't know that to print in store was so much cheaper. Are there any size restrictions to send this way?
I don't recall any when I sent and I have never had the "you need to pay extra" email.
Glad you found the prices, it's a considerable saving and it's somewhat hidden on the website really.0
