So my dad and I have a client who wants us to setup a website that allows their family to email photos to like CVS, Walgreens, Eckerd, or some other sort of store that does photo prints for them to pick up. Apparently being mailed to them is not an option she is looking for.

Anyone know of any services like this?

Thanks

Walgreens already provides this service:

> **[Photo Prints, Custom Cards, and Posters | Walgreens Photo](https://photo.walgreens.com/store/home)**
>
> Visit Walgreens Photo Center to shop for personalized photo prints, books, cards, posters, and other photo services. Get same day photo printing.

Not sure about CVS or Eckerd.

[CVS](http://cvs.pnimedia.com/upload/upload_simple.aspx) does it too.

Once you have an account with Walgreens, you can email photos to your album by sending them as attachments to save @ [mywalgreens.com](http://mywalgreens.com). I don’t know if CVS has this option, too.
