Commercial printing?

I was wondering if anyone has come across and/or can recommend photo printing sites that have options for, or cater specifically for, people wanting to bulk print things.
I've often wondered about the people I see at craft fairs selling post cards and mounted prints. Even with the cheapest of online printing companies I've seen, their mark-up must be pretty slim. I figure there must be bulk discount sites or something else. That or it's a loss-leader to advertise their business?

Might not be what you're after but I found PhotoBox's print quality pretty amazing for the price (Fuji Crystal Archive).
The Java interface is pish though.

Gah
I cocked up again. I ended up doing a "photo greeting card" on Jessops, as I figured it was the plainest option, other cards use templates so your image doesn't take the whole front up.
Went and collected them today to find they essentially are just a pack of 10 envelopes and then 10 plain prints. Not a card or anything.
I wish the uploader/design wizard/catalogue had proper examples of how these things look, front, back, inside etc!

I ended up going with Moo.com
Seemed my options were either £6 for 10, £100 for 500, or Moo which had more reasonable quantities. I knew from past experience as well that the upload/edit process is pretty painless. I'll see how the 60 cards I've got printed for £33 end up, and go from there.

I can't fault Moo's print quality. I've had one of their sample packs and a set of business cards done with them, you will be more than satisfied I think.
