Online printing- Photobox or Jessops?

Darthchaffinch · 17-10-2009, 10:17 AM

Need to get ~150 wedding prints (keen amateur standard), would either of these 2 merchants suffice pls? Jessops is appealing as can direct the software straight to my shots on Flickr.
Thanks!

I think jessops might be about to go bump, I'm avoiding them for the time being just in case.

Im not sure of what Jessops current fortunes are.. its not the first time they have been rumoured to be going bust but Photobox have been ( in the past) very good and well spoken of

At at a point they were a victim of own success and colour matching issues happened but I believe this was more of a hiccough than anything else

I have not heard anything bad about them lately
so:
Are they any good? .. Yes they are

Do they have some keen competition? I believe they do but others here may know better
What do you have to lose by trying them?

give photobox a try, when you sign up you get 40 free prints anyway (only 6x4 but at least you can see the type of quality you can expect)

for photobox, I have used them for a long time now and the prints they produce are excellent, delivery is fast as well.

I've found photobox far superior to Jessops. I only ever use Jessops if I'm in a rush so can just pop in and print it out.

However the company that I've found to blow all the other competition out of the water is DSCL

Photobox will let you connect to flickr to get your photos too.
