Photobox - Maximum order size

[paddy]

I've recently returned from a year long world trip, I took loads of photos and having sorted through them want to get these printed off.

Although photobox claim to give you "unlimited upload space for orders" - do you think they will complain to the 6GB of data my photos occupy? (what my ISP will say is another matter )

Anyone have any experience of this? Can you send orders in on (multiple) DVDs?

Thanks for the replys, I'll e-mail them and see what they say. Discount certainly sounds good

Can you reduce the file size down to something more manageable ?
Unless you are printing bigger than 10x8 then a 500k file will enough.

Hadn't thought about that option
I'll be printing at the "normal" size - 6x4 (?), What resolution should I shrink them to (they've all been shot on an A70 - 3MP)?

Which means you took around 3000+ images you busy sod! It was a holiday not a photography outing

Very good guess

8 months was spent in Whistler working and snowboarding - took about 900 pics
next 3 months was backpacking around Thailand, Australia and New Zealand - and I took about 2300 pictures.

Panoramas were the main cause of my high number of photos - 27 in Thailand, 54 in Aus and 146 in NZ. I've spent the last month stitching them all together. Photobox are going to be busy

My girlfriend also took about 2000 pictures.

There is a Costco in Reading, but they don't do Photos (yet), website says this may change in the coming weeks.
