For Christmas every year that we've been here - I order photos and mail them in Christmas cards. It saves a lot on shipping a gift (although I do have some things to ship but they're tiny) and it was so expensive - that I only did it once a year.
Then I discovered www.ifolor.fi. The site is available in English too which is great...and it was much cheaper than downtown!
Well, I got an email yesterday advising me my order was ready. Fabulous!
Then I got a card in the mail advising me to go to the post office to pick up something that wouldn't fit in my mail slot. Great!
Then I opened my packages this morning, found the one with the baby announcement cards in them and addressed them all and sealed them...Excellent!
Then I opened the other packages with the photos in them and began to organize them into piles (many are duplicates) so I could pick and choose which ones went into who's card....easy!
Then I realized something awful.
All the photos are 10cm along the tops and bottoms of the photo...but the lengths varied...so not all of them fit in envelopes....and I already mailed off cards...and I had already sealed (with glue) the baby announcement cards into their envelopes (which would be able to hold the taller photos)....
Oh how annoying! But be warned!
**It says on the site that photos can be 10.2cm x 10.2cm-15.3cm** They don't want to crop the photos - so if you cropped them using your photography software - then the photo will come out looking as such.
