    4 Stars I Won't Be Walking Away From Boots Photo Processing 11/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great quality, wonderful staff, low price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Long queuing time during busy times

    I have been using Boots - Photo Processing for many years. Today, I went in, in my wheelchair to get some digital photos developed. I noticed that it was difficult to move around to get to the machines. The space was particularly tight, but the staff were very helpful and accommodating. I have tried other Photo Processing places, but I have to say that Boots is my favourite for reliability and time. If you want good photos then you should stick with Boots. When a person thinks about Boots they usually think of chemist, beauty, perfume, soap and then as a last resort, photos. Perhaps you have ... more

    5 Stars Good Enough for a Professional like me 06/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages excellent consistency of prints, new digital technology - just simply the best

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the price - but you do pay for quality

    If you are remotely serious about your photography, don't cut corners, go for the best printing around - try Boots. It may sound silly coming from me, a Professional, to take your film to dear old 'aunty' Boots and trust it to them, but wait.. listen. It is one place that I can trust for consistency and high quality. Especially since they have recently re-kitted their main branches out with state-of-the-art Fuji digital equipment. There are times when I am out and about that I need to turn around a roll or two of film promptly - for a client to see proofs - or maybe to meet a deadline for the ... more

    4 Stars Digital Photo Printing at Boots 14/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the cheapest

    I have a digital camera, and keep my photos on my computer's hard-drive, but occasionally I like to get better and more interesting pictures printed, it just seems so much more natural to hold a real photo than look at it on the screen, plus it's better for showing them to people when a computer or TV isn't available, or giving photos to people who don't have a computer or DVD player. I recently therefore took a batch of my digital photos to Boots to get them printed. Boots now have self service machines for digital photos, which allow either instant, 1 hour or 24 hour printing from various ... more

    4 Stars Boots, Jessops, Tescos Printing Services and the technologies 25/09/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good quality printing, using both dye sublimation and conventional chemical techniques

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the cheapest

    This is a review I've decided to write having read someone else's apparantly biased review towards Boots. I'll give a brief review of my experience. I have no complaints with Boots at all. I wanted to cover in detail some of the things that make a key difference in the quality of the prints, which generally isn't covered by other reviewers. I'm quite a serious photographer owning Canon L series pro level equipment and quite a good pocket Nikon camera. I've been doing photography for 25 years using 35mm SLR cameras. I've started using my local Boots for printing. But I'm not exclusively using ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages superb quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not the cheapest

    Photo processing you'll probably fall into one of two catergories 1-the consumers who go for the cheapest,complain about the quality spend time trying to get them corrected or having to have them reprinted elsewhere possibly at extra cost thus wiping out the original amount they tryed to save in the beginning. 2-the consumer who goes for quality,they take a little more time on deciding where to go, they may read reviews in magazines,on the internet or take advice on the experiences of friends and family. You see photographic developing deals with peoples treasured memories and can be an ... more

    5 Stars Brilliant Prints In an Hour 19/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Really clear colourful pics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive but worth it

    After coming back from my holiday in Mexico, I was really keen to see my photos in a hurry. We had spent so much money on the holiday that I was reluctant to send my films away in the post to a big factory;my wife suggested that I take the films to Boots and have them done in an hour. So first day back at work, I dropped my films into Boots in my lunch hour. They were really busy at the counter; but I did not have to wait long. When I explained how important the films were, I was offered what they call "Special memories".The film is ready in an hour, they gave me the choice of print sizes; I ... more

    4 Stars Developing those holiday snaps at boots 28/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Its Boots - you can trust them

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Staff many not have the best training in the world

    After returning from my trip around Europe I decided to get my photos developed. I bought the 3 for 2 offer on disposable cameras in Boots before I left - a damn good deal. Once back I headed straight for boots to get the films processed. Now I don't like spending much money so I did not opt for the 1-hour film-processing package for nearly £8 a film so I went for the overnight package. Which, to be fair was still pretty expensive £4.99 each. That is on top of the original £7 for the camera. I was actually impressed by the quality of the pictures. I really did think that due to the cheapness ... more

    3 Stars Boots - an inconsistent service 02/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Competative prices, good loyalty scheme.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Inconsistent level of quality of finished prints

    I have to say that I totally agree with other comments. The quality of your prints from Boots depends entirely on who is working the day you go in. I have had perfect prints and on one occasion I had 6 films printed and every single one was printed back to front. so any writing was backwards, people and objects were in opposite places. These films happened to be from a graduation day and as you can well imagine were important to the family. Thankfully after hefty words with the manager, the photos were reprinted correctly and all money was refunded. On another occasion, a machine was being ... more

    5 Stars Free digital prints! 16/11/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Only 40 :(

    Boots photo processing is a digital print service that has a familiar name behind it, its not the cheapest digital processor online but its extremely reliable and has many useful features that help to get the best quality possible with as little trouble as possible. I don't use their service unless there is a deal on (I am a student and I am tight) at the moment they have a great deal… read on! I put this on here as I have used this service twice and both times I have been extremely happy. At the moment they offer 40 digital print posted to your address for a 1.50 delivery charge (and free ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fast. effecient

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    Boots photo processing is so quick, easy and reliable, there you have it I have summed them up, you have options to when you want to pick them up, which usually depends on how quickly you want them processed. I usually have them done quickly, within 24 hours, but you can have them done with an hour if you want. I always know that my photos are going to look good, having newly purchased a camera, I was unsure of how to use it, so I worried not and not it along to Boots, and they managed to help me. Simple things like that show me that they are helpful, friendly and they’re to offer you ... more
