$100 shipping for one 6x8 album from the PL website (total approx $165 NZD) . Had a great idea that I would do a hybrid mini album using my digi supplies of my graduation for my grandma for christmas but it doesnt look feasible. Any other ideas on doing something for her? I have approx 40 photos at most but her eyesight isnt totally great but I dont want to do 12x12
 
ouch! that is crazy. do you have any craft stores where you can go in and buy something that would work? that is just really insane amount of $ for one album!

eeeeeeeeeeeek? for shipping? yikes...
if you did decide to go smaller book for economics, you could have one side photo the other large print journaling?
I did that for a Christmas book one year, and loved it
 
Very few scrapping stores here and I dont even see what I want in Australia (cause I want a gold album), Amazon dont ship to me so I'm lost. It actually started out as a nice gold picture frame with the professional photos in it then a slip in album for the rest but couldnt find what I wanted there either. Part of me is now thinking I should go all digital and print as an 8x8 book.

Another alternative could be a photo box with 4x6 prints inside of your graduation. You could decorate the box too.

I'd rather do some sort of album as she will have been waiting 8 months for this
 
It is a bummer when our ideas don't match up with our budgets. I am sure that whatever you create will be loved by your Grandma.

Oh I know it will but when you can't produce idea number 1 its a bit frustrating

I've got no problem with the exchange, its the exhorbitant shipping Becky charges that I have an issue with. I've messaged a couple of stores here so I'll see what happens

Yep, Becky figures anyone outside of the USA, Canada and I think Mexico has the privilage of $100 shipping no matter what you order....sometimes it just plain sucks living at the bottom of the world.
 
Holy Moly! Jeez.... Is there a way to print it here, and then ship to you with the us post office? I think packages would be less than that and within 2 weeks or less!

I'm quite happy to print at home if I find the album cause then I can play around a bit and try different combinations out. My mum does paper/hybrid so has the tools.
 
That's just mad! Do they just not want to ship outside the US? No way that represents the cost of shipping. I have used YouShop in the past (still not cheap but much cheaper than that!). It's run by NZPost. They give you a US shipping address then forward it to you. Other times kind US friends have forwarded to me :-)
 
I hope you find the album case, Jennifer!
 
That's crazy shipping!

Maybe a 10x10 from shutterfly would work? How bad is their shipping?
