Go and look at their offer again more carefully - that's *exactly* what 
greatunpublished do. They are perfectly able to accept a pre-formatted 
PDF file and print directly from it. The typesetting service is only for 
those that need it (which is probably most of their users, admittedly). 
The only restriction on you is that you have to fit to their standard 
paper size. They take orders from and deliver to pretty much anywhere in 
the world.
