Online Image Printing Services

Has anyone used any? And which would you recommend?
I'm currently looking to print A3 size for a couple of images for my parents so that they can then put them in a frame, or see if I can order a frame at the time I print as well before I have them delivered - to save them having to get the frame.
I've not been able to find a print service that also offers frames as well, so wondering if anyone has, and who they recommend? I found photobox, and also seen people recommending them, but hoping I can sort out a frame at the same time.
Thanks
Ian

There have been several threads in the Forum recently.
I've never used them but this one got a good review on here recently

Thanks for the info.
I've just tried photobox, since I'd seen that recommended here. I ordered 2 x A3 prints, and I also then ordered frames from:
http://www.fastframes.co.uk
as they had the A3 size frames that I needed. So shall see how they turn out, and then update to say on quality etc.

Hope you colour matched with the photobox site otherwise you'll probably find the photographs are darker than you wanted.

No, I didn't do that calibration but hopefully they'll come out OK.
So far though I'm not impressed with photobox. My first order informed me of being dispatched and I had booked courier delivery for next day. After two days it still hadn't arrived, and it should have been delivered Friday at the latest last week.
However, I am not told by photobox why it didn't arrive, and they have now told me it will be reprinted and dispatched today - they have given me a tracking number, which I've just tried and it doesn't work as if it doesn't exist. Certainly not good as a first-time customer to experience this appalling delivery service and duff tracking number.
Frames are good though, got them nice and quick and they look good also.

I ordered around 20 shots on Friday afternoon from Photobox, cheapest delivery, and based on past performance was disappointed they didn't arrive on Saturday. But they were here this morning. Ordered last week on a Friday afternoon, delivered Sat morning.

Nope, CD by post only. When I last looked on their forums they were adamant that they couldn't run an upload facility or FP server for the prices they charge.
However DS Colour Labs do have upload facilities, similar pricing (in fact, 18"x12" prints are 1p cheaper) and turnround time to ProAm and just as good quality.
