Purchasing pictures on-line

Has anyone actually ever ordered printed pictures from OFOTO or Shutterfly or any of those places? How do they come out? Do you feel that one is better than the other?

I've used Shutterfly and have no complaints whatsoever.

Ofoto quality for me has always been fair. I have seen better and seen worse.

I have ordered a bunch of stuff from shutterfly. We ordered all our e-pics instead of buying them from the photographer (ranging 4X6-8X10). And also just got the Xmas cards I ordered with our epic, and calendars. I really love how they all came out, very good quality!

Ditto. I love Shutterfly.

And it has been great, because I have been able to send a link to my OTT friends and family who wanted to order copies of pics, and they can do so easily that way

You can share pictures and albums using ofoto as well so others can order.

I've ordered from ofoto before... pretty good. I am going to order some engagement shoot pics... and possibly enlarge one or two.

I like Shutterfly too. Plus they have good sales and promotions from time to time. I think when I first signed up I got a bunch of free prints.

I love shutterfly and their matte finish!! The pictures look like regular pictures...not digital!

I am thinking of doing a comaparison since I have accounts at both ( for viewing other people's photo's.)

I have ordered from both and think the shutterfly ones come out a little better. They are both really good though.

Yeah, I started using them because I think I got 25 (or 15?) free prints for my first order.

Snapfish is pretty good too.

Re: Purchasing pictures on-line

I have ordered from both Shutterfly
and Snapfish,

I think I like the quality better at shutterfly,
BUT snapfish is Cheaper,
so basically it depends on what you are getting the pics for,
when I do scrapbooking I order from snapfish,

both are fine really

Re: Purchasing pictures on-line

I will just have to try them all then. One picture each--the same picture...And that'll be it!

Re: Purchasing pictures on-line

I have used snapfish, ofoto and shutterfly. I tend to get the best deals from ofoto but I usually order in bulk (35+ picturse at a time). To me the quality has been similar from ofoto and shutterfly and snapfish a little lower - but not bad.

The only issue I had was with scanned pictures. On my screen they looked perfect but printed they looked bad from any of the three places (I did some of my wedding pictures this way). Unless I had my scanner on the highest quality the pictures looked awful printed. even on the highest quality, I felt the pictures still lost some of the quality when uploaded.
