Sending framed photo to England w/o crazy shipping costs?

June 25, 2016 2:16 PM

I want to send my dad, who lives in England, a framed photograph (preferably the stand-up-on-a-desk kind rather than the hang-on-the-wall kind). I'd like this photograph printed and framed by an online company that will then mail it to him. I thought I could pick a British company so as to avoid large shipping costs and a long delay, but the sites that I've tried won't accept payment from a credit card with an American billing address. Anyone know of a place that would accept an American credit card, or have clever alternatives?

Maybe someplace that takes PayPal? or other such alternatives (paying through Amazon, etc.)?

Best answer: Photobox accepts non-UK credit cards and, failing that, Paypal.

Snapfish definitely takes PayPal. They don't have framed photos exactly, not in the traditional "photo in a frame you can pull it out of" sense, but they do have some table-top items that might work for your purposes.
