i only got the photos on wednesday, 19 March
so, from the time of photo order on 11 march, it took them 8 days to get it into my letterbox.
if i went down to the shop, paid 25 cents per piece, it would be done in 1 hour, on real photo paper.

thats not the worst part
this is: the photos suck
saturation, gamma, colour
everything is wrong. the pictures look terrible especially skin tones
and the paper is so flimsy
has a cheap magazine cover feel.
its like those photo A4 papers you buy on the shelf and print your own pictures with a low resolution bubblejet printer.

once bitten forever shy.
