[Photobooks] 123Cheese Replacement Service - Any Reccomendations?

Hi

As most of you know 123Cheese had gone bust quite a while now - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/192830
I bought 10 vouchers, I'll never get back… but even more excruciating is I created 2 x 60 page books with 100's of pictures (globally dispersed family!) which I lodged in April and never got anything for…

Anyway, I know the money is down the proverbial - but I was wondering - since I have gone through all this effort of selecting the pictures, layout and story, I want ot just print these books anyway…

I have the 123Cheese files and the PDF proofs and the "exported" pictures I used.

Any services you would recommend?
++ Bonus if I can import a 123 file… (I can only hope!)

Thx

    Yeah I got suckered into the 123cheese fiasco too. I finally just got my intended A3 photo book from a company called Photo Box .com.au but I believe they operate in the UK. They have savings coupons going all the time so sign up with your email and check it out. The quality of my A3 book is AMAZING. Its beautiful and I am really happy with it! I was so worried because other sites have reviews from people that are not happy with the quality but I headed over to their fb page and saw most people were happy and if anything went wrong photo box would replace it no problem! Postage on this book took almost 2 weeks (standard) but they said allow up to 14 days anyway and you can select express post if you need it faster.
    For all up about $55 aus including postage I got the A3 lay flat 50page photo book.

    As for importing 123 I am not sure as I could not find anything but perhaps if you ask them on their fb page??
    However in saying that, it was all alot easier than 123. I uploaded all my photos first and then selected them and chose page designs etc but there is also an auto selection too.
    Also keep your eye on both the 123cheese fb page and the website as apparently something may still happen for you in way of partial refunds or an offer to complete the service in te future. I know the aussie photo company made an offer to buy them out but the offer was rejected - that gives a little bit of hope.
    Hope all this helps.

  • Awesome. Thank you!

    Will check out the PhotoBox…. and the FB pages.
