muddle_mannAnyone use online photo hosting sites to order prints?
IIRC photobucket used to do this but since they boned everyone with that dumbass broken link thing then trying to charge $400/yr I don't really want to give them any business. Any others?

cparktdI just use Walgreens for prints. They host and you can share but it's not really geared toward sharing. I have been happy with the cost and quality of the prints. I usually wait for a promotion and order 100 prints at a time. I mostly use their app on my phone to upload and order. Of course you can do it online via a computer as well. Prints are typically ready in a couple hours and I pick them up at the local store so no postage or waiting on the mail.

I tried the local walgreens and their interface for doing something seemingly simple was so ridiculous that I literally gave up. Then it occurred to me I can do this from the comfort of my own desk...

I know right? It's wedding pics for the in-law side and Mom is 85 and she no CD/PC

The trick she does I really "love" is getting her prints when she asks for them and then immediately misplaces them... :-|

Black92LXMPIX is by far the best quality we have found and you pay for it.
For stuff that does not need the super quality we use Shutter fly.

Excellent, thanks! It's nice to have a place if I want serious quality.

PASigMy wife does it all the time with Shutterfly.
They even make a "canvas" print that looks like canvas but it's digitally printed on some sort of plastic material and tacked to a wood frame, looks nice.

The professional photographer my wife uses for the kids only allows her prints to be done by MPIX. I am sure she gets a kickback but there is a very noticeable quality difference between MPIX and the other place we have tried.

mikeyspizzaAnother vote for Walmart. Upload desired photos to Walmart.com, local store prints them, then go pick them up. No shipping charge.

Pale HorseWe use Snapfish for ordering prints but most of what we order are larger canvas or metal prints to hang on our walls. They have a decent selection of gift items too that you can customize with your pictures.

And the way MPIX wraps your prints, they'd survive a grenade.

bronicabillFor quick, cheap turnaround, I use Wal-Mart online. My wife uses Shutterfly alot and the quality is pretty darned good, but when I want superior quality, I rely on Whitehouse Custom Color; a professional only site (or at least it used to be) for my prints. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re the best if you want top quality! It’s who I used to use when I was a working pro!

UTsigI use MPIX for all prints except 4x6. They've consistently done a good job. Wait for sales, they were recently 25% off.
I do notes cards and use Bay Photo for 4x6, a little cheaper than MPIX and I like the Fuji Pearl Paper.
