- People Inside: The details concerning the women are crisp and look well but the texture on the wall is flat and non-existent compared to other service centers prints that show the textured drywall. The blouse colors are quite close even though the overall print is lighter.
- Building Outside: Colors and details are crisp, vibrant, clear and not faded. The print colors are lighter and brighter; even so this print looks very realistic and good.
- People Outside: Flesh tones are natural and the blouse colors are true, the print is quite a bit lighter bleaching out the hair in the sun — also there is more cropping than we would like to have seen.
Note: To check quality, we took each set of prints received from the online photo developer and laid them down, side-by-side for comparison.
Pricing:
ePHOTOfile's per-print pricing is really quite high.
Service and Site Features:
ePHOTOfiles only offers one other service for developing which is greeting cards.
Shipping Costs/ Turn Around Time:
ePHOTOfiles charge for shipping us five 4 x 6 inch prints was $3.00, the actual postage for USPS First Class was $ 1.29, which left $ 1.71 for packaging and handling. This total shipping cost was higher than the majority of the services we reviewed.
Our prints came in a lightweight, cardboard sleeve, wrapped inside a large, rigid, cardboard envelope.
:
We gave each photo developing service anywhere from 1 to 4 days to send us our completed prints; ePHOTOfiles met that requirement.
Summary:
Prices are on the high side, shipping is above average and other services are essentially non-existent with ePHOTOfiles. There are truly cheaper sites with a lot more services available.
