    Yes, quality was fine (to my untrained eye) and quick dispatch. You can probably find some vouchers if you search or go via one of the cashback sites too.

    Used them a few times, impressed. Their calendars are particularly good (and excellent presents for grandparents).

    Used them alot, they're linked directly to my web page, so I suppose that means I'm happy.

    used them a lot then noticed a year ago perhaps that the pic quality was dropping. I tried sending the same image to them and snapfish and compared the two. the photobox photo looked like it had been harshly jpegged and then sharpening 'enhancement' applied. the snapfish image had tons more detail, natural colours and less sharpening.

    tried to get photobox to discuss the issue but nobody on the help email seemed to have any concept of these sort of things and i gave up on them.

    Their prints are of very good quality IME, I've used them for both small and large. They do tend to be a little dark – darker than my monitor will calibrate to – so it may be worth making a small order first just to check against your own screen (and/or they will send you a calibration sheet if you ask).

    The 'gift' type products (I've had mugs, fridge magnets, books etc but not the acrylic or canvas prints) are mostly very good, too. Some less so, but not the end of the world.

    Anyway, I'd recommend them.

    Hmm just realised it has probably been a couple of years since I used them last, so perhaps the quality has fallen.

    e photobox photo looked like it had been harshly jpegged and then sharpening 'enhancement' applied.

    Presumably you supplied the image as a JPG so there should have been no reason for then to alter or recompress it?
