Ordering Prints?

[Synndy]

Hi everyone!

I've searched through almost all of this community and I think its AMAZING!

I got into scrapbooking about a year ago and its my obsession (second after Disney of course)

After scouring this community I have gathered SO many amazing ideas for my Disney books! Our trip is in 4 days yay and I plan on taking more photos than I would like to admit.

So my question is, where do you all order your prints?

I dont have a normal place I get mine and when I have done pictures, its only been a few (less than 50) here or there.

I have a feeling I am going to have several hundred photos I want to use (I want to make a few different books based off this trip) Since I plan on ordering such a large quantity what are the best places to order?

Thanks a head of time!

P.S. I was talking to my Dad about the trip & I asked him if it was weird that I'm just as excited for when we get home from the trip so I can start scrapping! ha ha. I'll be sure to post pics of my work when I get some done

Hi Synndy - Not sure if they have Walgreen's drugstores where you live, but if they do, I always upload my photos to their site and they will be processed at the store closest to you. It usually takes 1 hr - watch for their specials every week. For instance, this week they are offering .10 per pix over 50 pix - perfect for vacation photos.
Hope this helps. Have a wonderful trip.

I've used Walgreens as previously mentioned..
I've used CVS, Walmart, Target, Snapfish, Winkflash.
I love Artscow; however they are overseas (Hong Kong) but their photo quality is amazing!!! They have some great coupons when you sign up for free photos.. I actually get free photos every month that I utilize... (which reminds me, need to order the freebies from this month).

Sign up for the emails and you will get discount notification. We tend to share them here when we can to give our fellow scrappers a heads up!

To be honest...I have used just about everywhere! Snapfish, Winkflash, Shutterfly, Walmart, Target, Meijer.

I signed up for all the "online" photo sites and ordered free photos from each one (you usually get about 25-20 free when you first sign up). I ordered different photos from each site with one exception. I choose one photo and ordered it from each site so that I could compare quality and color between sites. Then I chose my favorite.

I think that online photo purchasing is a personal preference. Some people really love Shutterfly, my friend swears by winkflash, and I like snapfish the best. HOWEVER, I don't let it stop me if I can get a really good deal somewhere else! If you are like me you probably have hundreds of photos from your recent trip!

NOTE: The cheapest prices are usually if you buy a pre-paid print package, BUT with shipping costs it usually works out to be the same cost as if you went down the street and printed photos somewhere nearby. I try to wait for a free shipping deal that will work with a pre-paid print package to get the best deal.
