Can An Australian Get A Photobook Printed In Uk?

[Bert45]

Our son lives in Australia. He is much more computer literate than I am. Last year he made photobooks of his son's first year and posted a copy to us in England. The postage cost a heck of a lot. I suggested that he gets next year's photobook printed in the UK (as well as Australia) so the cost of postage would be much less, but he seemed to think he could not do that. I didn't ask for details as it all goes over my head. But do you think that this could be done?

Dead easy. He can use Photobox, whose services I thoroughly recommend: https://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/photo-books

Their instructions on how to get an item sent to an address which is different to the one used for billing can be found here:

Thank you, Buenchico. So he would get one book printed in Australia, for himself, and another book printed in the UK for us. It would mean going through the whole process twice, which for me would be a nightmare, but for him not so bad, and worth it to save on the postage (imo).

One small problem(perhaps) with currency conversion. He would have to pay Photobox UK in GBP. How would he do that from Australia, where all his funds are in AUD?

the website will most probably do it for him

Thanks, bednobs and Buenchico. I consider my question answered. No need for further comments.

Just for clarification anyway:
I've bought stuff from US websites, French websites, Czech websites and loads of other non-UK sites. It doesn't matter what currency is used on the website, my bank (or credit card provider) automatically makes the conversion when I enter my UK card details. (e.g. if I buy something for US$50, it will show that amount on my receipt from the vendor but it will appear as about £39 on my card statement). It will be just the same when your son uses his Ozzie card to pay in sterling.
