Thanks for the link, although Bay Photo seems to be more for professional photographers than consumers; the site has a resale certificate, gets you to balance your screen and install software. These pro sites are not consumer friendly. There are also reviews on a different site that said they got green hair with Bay Photo and then were quoted "disclaimers" when they complained.

Anyone have experience of a more "consumer" friendly for a poster sized print?

Try AdoramaPix and/or Shutterfly (shudder), or perhaps MPix.  Try Pounds Lab, or Miller's Lab, or Nations.

Past that, there are other pro labs that are easy to work with. Or hire a professional photographer to get you what you want.

By the way: metal prints, et. al, are accomplished by printing to an emulsion that can be transferred to various surfaces. Pretty flexible technology. Since I don't know what you mean by "high quality" other than "does a good job" I can't offer more.

Most pros try out various vendors before settling on a supplier of choice. As far as I know.
