Winkflash/Shutterfly/Snapfish, etc.

Okay, so...I've got tons of digital pics that I have yet to get developed. I uploaded a bunch to Shutterfly and got my 15 free prints, and they were okay. I've uploaded a bunch to Snapfish and have yet to order those. Snapfish and Shutterfly seem to cost about the same and run similar promotions.

A co-worker just recommended Winkflash. Has anybody used this site? She hasn't used it yet, but she got an ad about how you get 50 free prints w/ your first order. Also, their prices seem a bit lower, and their shipping is less. I just thought I'd come over to GC and get some opinions.

I've used Snapfish for a couple of years and have always gotten good service. They periodically send emails for free prints, and have good deals on other items (mousepads, holiday cards, etc.).

Shutterfly has been ok too, but I just like Snapfish a bit more.

I like Snapfish. The problem with Winkflash is that the quality of the prints kind of sucks. They have tons of promotions where you can get free prints, but personally, if the quality sucks then it's not worth it even if it's free. I use Snapfish for that reason. They ship quickly and are pretty reasonable. I made a photobook on Snapfish from a vacation I took last year and it turned out really well.

i have purchased photos from shutterfly of school plays my son was in. a school parent who is an amateur photographer takes a massive amount of photos, downloads them onto shutterfly and then the rest of us can order what we like. photos are sent out quickly and are good quality. i thought that the price was reasonable.

I have used Snapfish for a few years as well and only had one bad incident with them where I never received my prints and after a few emails they credited my account for the full amount. I just ordered a memory book from them and am anxious to see how it comes out. Anyone have any experiences with their memory books?

I like ofoto, which is through Kodak. IDK how their pricing compares... but seems fair to me.. and the quality has been excellent.

Yes, I ordered one last year and it turned out great! It was kind of pricey b/c I added a lot of pages to it but it was worth it.
