Stickable Photo Tiles from Photobook

Second week of January, I was busy decluttering our home and while I was cleaning, I saw all the Photobooks I ordered for the past two years. I have thousands of pictures on my harddrive and I seldom print because printing pictures is not cheap and it is hard to choose pictures. I started ordering Photobooks last April 2018 and so far I have 8 Hardcover Photobooks, 4 Softcover Photobooks, and 2x2 Insta Cards.


"A picture is worth a thousand words but memory is priceless"

Since Photobooks are not cheap, I only order if there are promo codes and Black Friday Sale. The last time I ordered was March 2019 so yung goal ko na every year magpaprint, hindi na naman natupad. Anyway, I redownloaded their mobile app and checked for promos. They have different promos so I availed 50%, 65%, and FREE 10 pcs of Insta Print. There are few changes na rin pala, I remember last time P250 yung shipping rate, now meron na mga options. 

P300 - Premium Express - 4-6 business days 
P450 - Super Rush - 3-5 business days 
P200 - Standard Shipping - 7-10 business days. 


For my first order, I chose the 5"x 5" Small Square Lay Flat Softcover Photobook. This is the smallest photobook that I ordered, parang mas type ko yung 6x6 or above na size. 

P145 - Photobook (50% off) - 20 pages 
P200 - Shipping 
P345 - Total 

Next, I availed the FIRST10 promo code, free 10 pieces daw pero Insta Prints 5x5 - Square (15pcs)  pala so sayang, kulang ako ng 4 pieces na pictures. I thought same sa Insta Cards ito na medyo makapal, mali pala expectations ko. Yung Insta Print, same as regular photos lang pala, the difference is may theme siya so pwede mo lagyan ng design. I chose my favorite photos from our Scandinavian Trip.

FREE - 5x5 Insta Print (11 pcs) 
P200 - Shipping 
P200 - Total 

I was contemplating if I will order the Stickable Photo Tiles because even it is on sale, namamahalan pa rin ako so I asked my husband about it. He said yes naman so I chose my favorite photos. The original price is P1,800 for a set of 3 and FREE Shipping daw pero when I ordered it, may P50 na shipping charge. 

For the style, there are two options, Front Print Mount or Back Print Mount and for the wood color, you can choose from the 3 available colors; black, white, and latte. I chose Front Print Mount and White Color. I am glad that my order turned out fine and I received it in good condition. I will order again if I have an extra budget. Hehehe! The only downside of these stackable photo tiles is it doesn't stick to our walls so we have to use a different double-sided tape (3M brand) so it won't fall again.

January 11 - I ordered 4 items 
January 18 - I received 3 out of 4 orders via DHL. I was expecting 3 separate packages since I paid separate shipping for all of my orders. Ganun din kasi dati so I was surprised when I received one box only so I was thinking baka nadelay yung 2 na order ko. When I opened the box, nagulat ako na nandun pala yung 2 order ko na via DHL din. So pinagsama-sama na pala nila yung 3. 

Ang weird noh because I already received 3 of my orders (from Malaysia) pero yung 6x6 Mini Square Imagewrap Hardcover that I also ordered on the same day, wala pa. I am waiting for this order via Ninja Van daw. 

P192.50 (65% off) 22 pages 
P200 - Shipping 
P392.50 - Total 

Update:

January 11 - ordered 4 items
January 23 - received the 6x6 Mini Square Imagewrap Hardcover via Ninjavan. The package is from Malaysia. 



Update March 2021: Photobook Canvas Air 12x12

While checking the February promo of Photobook, I saw the PHP299 promo for 12x12 Canvas Air. I've already tried the Stickable Photo Tiles so I wanted to try the Canvas Air. I immediately ordered so I just chose my favorite photo which is also my phone and desktop screensaver. 

Canvas Air is the thinner and lighter version of Canvas Print, for Canvas Air, you have 3 options: Standard Texture (Canvas), Leather Texture, and Fine Texture. I chose the standard texture. I only chose standard shipping but the rate is quite expensive. I paid for my order via Paypal, I was expecting that it will be delivered after two weeks but it took more than that. And my order just came from the Philippines. 

PHP299 - 12x12 Canvas Air
PHP400 - Shipping fee
Total: PHP699 

February 16, 2021 - placed my order
March 5, 2021 - received my order

The package includes instructions on how to display the photo so I have to buy my own adhesives for this one, unlike sa stickable photo tiles, provided na. Though yung free sa Stickable Photo Tiles ay hindi madikit so we use 3M double-sided tape. Anyway, I like my Canvas Air and I hope I can score more promos so I can print my other favorite photos.

    1. Hello, yung front print kapantay ng frame yung photo and yung back nasa likod mismo ng frame (parang tray ang hitsura). You can check this link https://www.photobookphilippines.com/product/photo-tiles ;)
