Why is dotphoto better than "free print" services?

Modified on Thu, 20 Apr, 2023 at 12:07 PM

Online sites that offer free prints are billing much more for shipping and charging more for other simple services:

"Free print" sites limit you in many other ways. For instance:

  • "Free print" sites add print cost to high-priced shipping. At dotphoto, shipping is free on any order of $10 or more.
  • Only 1 print of each image You pay much higher prices for extra copies! (4xx6 prints are always just 9 cents - 8.5 cents with newsletter coupon code - at dotphoto!)
  • Only 85 prints per month  (At dotphoto, unlimited printing AND unlimited full-size storage!)
  • Only 1000 prints per year (At dotphoto, you can place 1000 prints per order!)
  • And the most important: Pay much more for shipping!

Here's a simple comparison of 206 prints at the "free prints" site versus the same order at dotphoto:

dotphoto is a better value on 4x6 prints, AND dotphoto is an archival service that also offers lower prices on everything else -- with free shipping on any order of $10 or more.
