Hi, just wondering if there are any Canadian smugmug people out there who can tell me which Printshop they use for their Canadian customers. Does EZPrints have a .ca store to link to? Thanks,
b

    Hopefully some of our canadian heroes will chime in but this is what they've said in the past:

    They use Bay Photo and they choose shipping with the International Economy method because it is trackable, and the costs for an 'average order' is about $10 extra (above International Airmail) and includes the gst that Canada Post may tack on. When they did a comparison between WHCC, Bay and the Canadian equivalent (Technicare) print costs at Technicare were at lest 2X and shipping was a flat $8 within the same city so overall using Bay was less expensive for them. They also said that the convenience of only having to upload once (meaning to SmugMug only instead of to SM and to the lab in Canada) is worth any additional shipping costs on big orders.
