We're already pretty much raving fans of PhotoWorks.com, and not just because they've got the stalwart professionalism of American Greetings backing them up. When we wanted prints for Christmas, we turned to them, and again when we wanted an oversize print the local shops couldn't make. But there are a bunch of reasons we use PhotoWorks, and why we suggest them to you.
They aren't the cheapest shop on the block, but of all the companies that have a good reputation, they pretty much are. They're a way better deal than that drugstore down the street (I won't name them, you know me better than that) and the prints come out in better quality, if you ask me.
If you really want to find a place that will quote you a better price, you can find it, but that doesn't mean it's real… how about $19 for shipping? PhotoWorks doesn't charge that, but one cut-rate place I checked out online did, and it almost made me sick.
I ran the math backwards, by the way, turns out the cheaper guys actually cost more than 30% more, and that's if you can trust them. If that's how dirty they do their business, I just can't give them any amount of money for anything.
But then I found out that PhotoWorks kind of does it all. If you want huge prints, a thousand individual prints or a high quality 8x10, they got all that, don't insult them. Look further. Consider the things you never considered before. They offer calendars, cards, a bunch of different picture/locket-style jewelry (that was a bit surprising,) mugs, mouse pads, clothing and even stuff you can buy with your picture on it to put on your dog.
It's enough to make my head spin.
Wait… no, I'm alright.
The best thing is that you can upload your pictures online, adjust them if you want to, order them at the best price you'll find from any legit company, and you'll have your good in just a couple days.
Super easy. Bam! Done.
If you're thinking about Valentines, or even just a birthday, nothing says "dad knows you have kids you're supposed to love" like a photographic keepsake, and nothing says it looks great like the options they offer. I mean, seriously, you should at least check them out. They've got tons of stuff I've never even seen before.
And I just saw that they're still running the new-user promo. If you sign up now and place an order you'll get 50 free prints. I imagine it's a limited time offer (I don't work for them) so if you're interested, check it out now before the seasons change and the promo disappears.
