I am very happy with target. you can send online and pick up in-store.

winkflash has the best quality for the best service, and the cheapest price, it also has flat rate shipping - a definite plus.

target is a good idea if u have a car or live near one, for me to spend $2 on a subway there....its cheaper to get it shipped from winklash.

do a search on google for "winkflash" coupon codes or something like that. They always have specials 50 prints free, flat rate shipping, etc. I have an account at all of these places, I use which ever I have a coupon for at that time.

I think that most of these places give the first 20 prints for free just for opening an account with them. At least, they used to.

Thanks for writing about Winkflash, I have been using Snapfish but I see this is cheaper.
Has anyone used both and have you seen a difference in quality?

I sed both, snapfish in the beginning now im using winkflash, which is just as good. make sure u specify if u want matte or glossy, or youll get glossy (I happen to prefer matte so I have had surprises when I didnt check....)
good luck

I like Snapfish because it has more editing options, although shipping is way more expensive.
To see a real consumer report type of opinion, check this out. York Photo got the best reviews.

I am a bit of a product nut and I really shop around. I just registered for York photo, Shutterfly, Winkflash, Scrapbookphoto, and looked around.
I must say for me, I think I will stay with Snapfish.
The color of the photo just seems more true on the Snapfish site. I can edit as much as I want on Snapfish, not so much on the other sites, and Snapfish still has 12 cent prints.
I know shipping is more expensive than Winkflash, but sometimes you pay for quality.
I also went around sites and read product reviews, all seem to have the same customer satisfaction, so I will just stick with what I like.

PS- Future diagnostics coming soon, I am ordering the same prints at Snapfish and Winkflash and I will compare the quality. My inner nerd is rejoicing!!!

I've tried them and compared them all, Snapfish, Kodak, Shutterfly, Winkflash, Kellards.

I have to say you get what you pay for!

If you want cheap prints, I would recommend Winkflash they do pretty good qulaity on fuji paper.

If you want real good quality prints use www.kellards.com they are more expensive but they print on Kodak Royal Paper and found them to have the best quality. Also, they usually ship within 24Hrs.
