Product Overview
Snapfish is an online photo service that allows its customers to upload, store, share, edit, and print their digital and film-based photos.
What You Get
Creating a free account at Snapfish allows you to upload and store an unlimited number of digital photographs. You can also organize, edit, and share your digital photos to all the friends and family you want by inviting them through e-mail to view your Snapfish page or contacting them through their mobile phones. Signing up for a free account entitles you to free access and use of the Snapfish Photo Editor, which allows you to crop, brighten, change the color of, and even remove red eyes in your photos. Snapfish also creates and sends you photo prints of the pictures you choose and in the sizes you prefer.
Company Behind It
Snapfish is a registered trademark of Hewlett-Packard one of the world’s leading IT (Information Technology) companies that specializes in personal computing, printing, software, and IT services. Snapfish is presently headed by General Manager Ben Nelson, the company’s former CFO responsible for raising $36 million for the company’s funding.
Cost
A Snapfish print of a 4 x 6 photo costs $0.09 or 9 cents. However, if you avail of the Snapfish Prepaid Plan, each 4 x 6 photo print costs only $0.08 or 8 cents. The prices for Snapfish personalized photo gift items range from as low as $4.99 for a personalized button to $104.99 for a personalized throw blanket.
Guarantee
All Snapfish prints and photo gift items are protected by a 110% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee. This means that you not only get your money back for products that you are not satisfied with, Snapfish will also cover the shipping costs for any product that you wish to return. Plus, as if it’s not yet enough, you also get to avail of a 10% discount on your next order of photo prints or gift items.
What I Like About Snapfish
Snapfish honors the nostalgia for film photos. This is why Snapfish, unlike most other digital photo servicing companies, has services for developing and printing film-based pictures. It also allows you to upload your pictures from your device (digital camera or phone camera) directly to your Snapfish account via the free Photo Mover software that comes with your free sign-up.
What I Don’t Like About It
Snapfish also allows print and product pick-ups at its chosen retail stores scattered all over the United States. However, if you choose this option, the prices for the items may be slightly higher than promised on their website because of the additional costs that store operation entails.
Do I Recommend It?
Absolutely. With the strongest protection for customer satisfaction, Snapfish is a must-have for everyone who treasures his best (and maybe worst) memories preserved in print forever.
