I'm in the UK and am wondering if forumites can recommend (or anti-recommend) any services for printing and binding brochures to be delivered to an organisation in the US? Do Staples or similar provide such a service? They seem to provide services where you send files digitally and then pick up the finished product, but I need them delivered.

This is not actually for a conference (it's actually for a non-university related matter) but it seems like the kind of thing you might need to do if you are organising a conference at a distance, which is why I've posted it here.

It would be a bundle of letter-sized brochures, likely with something like comb or spiral binding, with quite a few photos on the pages.

FedEx definitely do this, as do Mimeo -- disclaimer, I've not used either.

Thanks! Mimeo looks like it could work well - FedEx's base price is twice Mimeo's plus Mimeo has an introductory offer.

Off to Google "Mimeo review"...

You can also hire someone to print and do the brochure construction, then have them carry through the mailing/delivery piece as well.

I think there are smaller freelance graphic design/mailing centers or individuals who also do this kind of thing, depending on size and so on, that might be a bit less expensive, and you might get better follow-through from an individual than from a company for whom it's just one more item in a daily stream of them.
