I need to get around 90 photos printed this week, they're a mixture of original digital photos and scans so am aware the quality isn't going to be perfect for all of them and the dimensions of the images are all over the place as well so would prefer the option to crop them myself.

Not overly concerned about finding the cheapest, as long as it's good quality and turned around quickly. Has anyone ever used anyone online? I looked at a couple but they seem the same. I previously ordered a calendar from somewhere (forget where) and it took almost a month, presume that printing simple images won't be a problem.

Anyone had a good/bad experience and can guide me in the right direction please?

My wifes been getting hers done free online. I know its photobooks something, but I'll have to wait until she gets in to let you know exactly as there are a few variants. Basically she gets one free album per month for P&P good quality stuff. You can pay for more obviously but she's tight..

I've found boots to be the best quality, I stay away from Asda and Tescos.

I've used both cewe-photoworld.com and foto.com but for photobooks and stickers, that kind of thing, rather than just straight photos. Both are good quality and good value, about a week or so turnround on printed products (so would be quicker for photos I'd have thought), both have decent online tools to allow you to manipulate/crop etc the photos. Not sure what they're like for just photos, but would imagine they're pretty good.

My wife has used snapfish, by HP, before and the 7" x 4" wasn't actually that size. Free but poor quality.

I think she used this one through itunes. She's being "forgetful" but I know she did it through her iphone.
