I want to actually get some tangible pictures out of all these digital pictures I’m taking. I don’t have the patience to deal with printing them myself, nor do I actually want to take the bother to drop them off at some store. Basically I want to upload my pictures somewhere, and have them in my mailbox within a reasonable amount of time.
So, recommend me your favorite online picture printing service. My main concerns are time and quality. Basically I don’t want crappy pictures, and I’m willing to pay a bit more for better quality, but I don’t want to be paying ridiculous amounts (i.e. anything over $0.40 in ridiculous). Even over $0.30 is streching it, unless it was spectacular for some reason.
I see a bunch of 10-15 cent services when I search, but I’m wary that I’m going to get complete shit when I get them back.
I use Shutterfly quite often. I’ve been satisfied with what I’ve gotten through them so far, and the prices are pretty reasonable. It’s free to sign up, and they e-mail me with deals every now and then. Good luck!
The wife and I have been using Snapfish for several years, and have been very happy with it. When you upload your photos, they create online photo albums for you, which you can share with people. Anyone you share an album with can order prints of their own, as well as photos on mugs, shirts, etc, so you don’t have to make quadruple prints of everything – just email people the link and let them buy what they want.
