Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008Postage charges in iPhoto
So, daughter wanted to buy some 'notelet' cards from iPhoto with a nice family photo on them. Cost per card = £1.15 which, though a little steep, is more than justified by the convenience and quality of the finished product. She wanted 20 cards - a small box/jiffy bag probably - and Apple wanted to charge £9.49 postage :-( A furtle in iPhoto suggests that they charge postage based on volume. For small notelet cards the rates are: 1-10 cards = £1.69 p&p 11-25 cards = £6.49 p&p 26-50 cards = £9.49 p&p >50 cards = £17.49 p&p given that a box of 50 cards is the size of a thick hardback book, £17.49 seems a tad steep! > So, daughter wanted to buy some 'notelet' cards from iPhoto with a nice > family photo on them.

All the postage charges in iPhoto are utterly ridiculous, it really puts me off using it. I like to make calendars at christmas, and the postage is ridiculous. It shouldn't really cost much more to post two calendars as it does to post one. On top of that, they shove on VAT at the last minute, meaning a calendar that's supposed to be about £12 ends up costing £20. > > given that a box of 50 cards is the size of a thick hardback book, £17.49 > > seems a tad steep!

Maybe that explains the Apple cash mountain.  SignaturePhil http://www.philwalters.co.uk |
