Need to get some photos printed off which aren't your standard sizes. Well the photo's are but the frames I have don't appear to be. I'm after a printing website where I can upload a custom sized print and have it delivered the right size. I didn't really want to have to start cutting prints down to fit.

Any good recommendations?

Many of the prints I get via Photobox are not std size, I just print them the right size on larger paper, then crop them when framing. Still works out piss cheap.

^^ Yep, choose 'crop to fit' and cut off the edges.

Have a look at the link in my profile. We can print to whatever size you require.

(or you could do as above and cut them yourself).

right,I'm printing some others. 12x16". Trying to upload to Photobox to print into a 'Pro Poster'. Says that the files are too big. How do I reduce the size from ~40mb to 10MB max but retain the quality. I'd have thought that being top quality prints, you'd want to keep them at a big size and they'd just let you get on with it?

40mb is a fair bit ott for a 12x16. Around 5mb would be perfectly adequate.

Use the crop tool in photoshop to size to 12x16 at 300dpi (3600x4800 pixels). And save as a jpg. Level 10 compression will be fine.
