Just ordered my first Finao sample. Just wondering how long does it take? I'm sure many of you guys use them. Ordered my graphi just under 2 weeks ago and got it today!

I have one Finao sample. It's with the ICE cover. Had a consultation last night. The MOB couldn't take her hands off of it. B & G loved it too. They booked.

Mine took 3 -4 weeks over Christmas holiday.

Finao takes 3-5 weeks (depending on cover and type of album)... or used to at least. Pretty much the reason we stopped using them.

based on his post I'm putting a nice crisp $10.00 bill smack on the "YES" column.

Not much of a gambler but this smells like a sure thing

Could you elaborate? I'd like people's opinions of them as well before I order a sample or two.

Edit: especially after reading your praise for them in other Finao threads.

I haven't used Finao myself, though I have had them send me a loaner sample.

Compared to PictoBooks I found them to be of lesser quality. The leather doesn't seem quite as high-end (thinner, less supple), and more noticeable is the fact that the pages have a visible separation between them (so you see white/black/white for the edge of each page, instead of just seeing one nice thick page like Pictobooks).

-ANYTHING- blows away Graphistudio though in my opinion - I hate their albums.

I have one album I have ordered from them and thought was pretty nice ,but I don't have a lot to go by as this was my first high end album. I can speak about the people there who I spoke to numerous times and can only say good things about them. Very helpful and pleasant to deal with. I will order from again.

I use Finao for seniors and for higher end wedding albums. Since July of last year, I've ordered a total of 26 albums from them and have absolutely no complaints with the quality or the customer service. Their ordering process is simple and quite user friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

These are less like albums and more in line with maybe an art book. I would not compare what WHCC to a "real" album. Yes, I use WHCC books but only for engagement or senior books.
