I have tons of photos on my phone of my kids/ family etc over the years. I’d love to put them somewhere physical so my kids can look at them. It’s going to be a lot of work sorting and organizing! Where is the best most affordable and efficient place to order from. Snapfish type of thing

Sign up to snapfish. You get 100 free prints a month. $11 shipping. Order 100 at a time, organize, then order the next set.
Once caught up, order all new prints every month.

I just did this!
The cheapest is usually snap fish but the quality isn’t great. I used Adorama

This is a good price but keep an eye on the emails. Sometimes you can get cheaper.

I undertook this project a few years ago and while it was hard work and time consuming it was well worth it! now I make sure to print every 6 months so I don’t fall behind. I started with snapfish but the quality was really bad so I switched to shutterfly and am much happier. also just fyi the pics didnt always come in order so sorting them was also a job. good luck!!

I think ordering tons at a time would bring the price down to .10 cents or less which is equivalent or cheaper than the shipping fee.

Is the uploading a smooth process? Which one is smooth and fast?
I started uploading on Walmart once and after working for close to an hour, the page got frozen and I lost all the uploads, had to start again. I gave up.

I wish they would print pictures in order.
I stopped printing photos 8 years ago. I have a wifi enabled digital picture frame that I updated pretty often. (It's synched with Google photos album so it's super easy to set up)

the out of order printing is a killer. shutterfly uploading is really easy but the sorting once they come isn’t so fun. staying on top of it is really the only way to eliminate hours of work

I have 6 years worth of prints, probably over 1000 in total. Shutterfly sent them all mixed up. It's been sitting for 2 years and I only got to a quarter of it. Thinking if it's worth it to order someplace else where they keep it in order.

Thanks for all the responses! Are you all ordering individual pictures to insert in your own albums or creating “photo-books” collage style

FreePrints lets u print 80 pictures a month free! U just pay shipping or if u order bigger sizes.
Photobooks, their sister app lets you order a book/month free, same with the shipping or extras.

I started doing Chatbooks a year ago, so far I’ve done 3 years so far and my kids love it.
They have amazing customer service by text for any stupid question while trying to do your photobook and you can do it on your phone. It has all the options to chronologically date the photos and you can even send a link for another person to share their photos too.
So I’ve sent it to my husbands phone and added the pics from his phone as well.
It can take some time to do it, maybe an hour or two. Nothing compared to physical prints.
The idea of printing physical prints just makes me dizzy.
The best part is that the books end up costing about $50 give or take, depending on how thick you do it.
I need to finish up the other years now… but I’m so glad I found a solution!

Albums with 4x6 inserts. I bought a dozen or so of the same photo albums that look neat in the sefarim shelves.

Kids love them take them out on shabbos to reminisce or to show guests when thru come over.

I’ve been making the Shutterfly 6” books with unlimited pages.
I put one picture per page. No pictures spanning pages. Make a few books at a time and wait for coupons for unlimited pages. Typically it’s just during the first part of the year not now.
It’s so nice to have them in book form in sequential order to look through. My kids enjoy it so much.
