So, how fast can smugmug print a big poster?

Need posters and flyers yesterday. What't the soonest feasible time I could get them by having smugmug print?

You want POSTERS? Like, 20x30, 24x36, etc? I just recently placed an order with a 24x36 in it, and the thing took like 2.5 weeks to arrive. But they ARE photo quality posters, mind you, and I dunno they might take as long at a local lab as well. But yeah, they DO take longer than your average batch of 4x6 prints. I personally emailed help@smugmug and it was confirmed that Ezprints outsources their largest prints and so things take a week or so longer to process...

Yeah, unfortunately anything larger than 30" is done by another print house and they take longer. An extra 4-5 days is common but I've seen longer. They are stunning, however.

30" or below are done by EZ Prints and usually completed in 24-48 hours.

Maybe not the best quality but fast... also you might be able to find large size printers in your area. There's a chain called Fast Signs which might be able to print posters quickly.

You might even be able to send in your file electronically and pick up the prints later, saving a trip.

Yes Baldy that is true, I must admit that I've ordered some 20x30" prints as well in the past, and those ship with the same expediency as all other orders. 24 hour shipping is of course stellar...
