Hi all,
Seeing all the negative comments here on group buy deals and for photo albums/ canvas, I just want to see if anyone actually has good experience from a company so I can look out for their deals in the future?
I am in the market for a photo book (possibly many pages), if anyone has print one before from group buy deals please recommend the company? Or if I should just rely on snapfish (my experience on snapfish have been ok).
Thanks all!
I've used Photobookshop in the past and was really happy with them, and have since gone to their website and bought vouchers for several more books. Let's hope they continue to be good. They have regular sales with good prices.
At all costs avoid MyPhotoBox. I have been trying for two months to get the photobooks I ordered from them, and on this OzBargain forum site have discovered I'm not the only one having problems with them. Mine is now escalating to a formal Department of Fair Trading complaint.
I've also used 123Cheese…and their software was wonderful…gave you options to prepare and save your own templates. But I thought the paper was quite flimsy (maybe only about 100gsm) and it had a plain cover…so I wouldn't use them again for that reason (just a personal preference). However I must say, in terms of customer service, they were great. One of the books started to fall apart and some pages stuck together for some bizarre reason. I sent them photos and they reprinted the book straight away for me, at no extra cost.
I also used Eastmon Digital. The quality of the book was great…BUT…you have to prepare it all online. It took hours and hours just to get the photos uploaded and on the day I did it their system kept freezing and crashing and, in the end, I was only able to get two of the books I'd ordered completed. So although the quality was good, the process was frustrating and exhausting and, as a result, I now will only use companies that I can download the software to my computer and prepare first.
Hope that's of some help.
