Advantages: Fairly quick, choice of print sizes Disadvantages: Not quite hour service, couldn't find my piccies at first!
...pictures come presented in a Tesco black photo wallet with a section for your negatives. You also get an index print which shows you all your pictures in minature on. You get to see which have come out and which haven't, however, a few pictures had come out on the index print which a black section to one side, probably covering about an inch of the picture, but these had been removed from the photo pack, which is a shame as the black could easily ... ...this is solely down to Tesco or if the camera and photographer have some play on this! The print quality was good, although I think the person who actaully packs these, packed some of ours too soon and they hadn't dried properly.
Overall this service is good, depsoute the fact there are no different development services available, but then, you are likely to get your pictures on the same day. It would be good to get a definate 1 hour service though, ...

...I came about of the Tesco photo development service, I had no idea of what they would have to offer, and if it was worth it. tesco normally deliver quite well with their services I have used, I thought trying them out would not hurt. It was July of 2006, I used a disposable camera to take some pictures of the things I would like to remember. I took my disposable camera (which I also bought at Tesco), to the photo desk. I wanted the photos on the ... ...digital camera. The Tesco staff gave me a small recipt, which would be a good idea to keep in a wallet, as I lost mine quite a few times. With this recipt, I gave to the staff, and they could find my order easilly. I had to wait around 24 hours for my photos to be put onto a CD. I did think that this could be improved, I wasn't in much of a rush to get these picture back but would be a good idea for the future.
The CD came in a DVD case type box ...

...exhibition, and decided to use Tesco Photo for my prints, as I've used them before, and was happy with their quality. The exhibition was to be on the 28th of October, and so about a month before the exhibition I placed my first order for prints, and waited for delivery. A week later I was told one of the files uploaded was corrupted, and so they cancelled the entire order. Fortunately I'd given myself a month to get the prints done for exactly this ... ...so hours of calls to Tesco Customer support, who were occasionally rude and often unhelpful I finally managed to find someone who said they'd look into it. His advice was to reupload all the images, which I did. I then placed another order, split in two this time, figuring I could at least get some of the images. A week later, on the 21st of October, half the photos arrived. I called to ask about the whereabouts of the others, and was told 'they'd ...

Advantages: Quick and Easy Disadvantages: Can be more expensive and you cannot pay by cash at these machines
I have found this service quite handy as now having a digital camera i tend to forget to develop my photos, which is a shame, and trying to hand your memory card over for someone to pick out the ones you want to develp can be quite stressful, which is why i use the self service photo developing. I have found it quite an easy self explanatory experience, you insert your memory card and follow the on-line instructions, you can either have the normal ... ...ones, you also have the option to re-size your photos as well. When selecting your photos it tells you how much it is costing you on the screen, so no nasty suprises at the end! You then simply pay for the selected photos by card at the machine and then your photos are printed while you wait, which i think is quite quick. The only down side is that you cannot pay by cash at these machines and sometimes, if you do need to ask someone for some help, ...

I have used Tesco film processing services for a number of months now and sadly it is only now beginning to dawn on me that the quality of theservice is poor.
I have noted that the scans they make are rather low in resolution at around 300dpi at 6" x 4". 10" x 8" would be better option as the majority of people still using film I would say are semi-professionals. The colour is a bit washed out often and occasionally I get nasty scratches on negs. ... ...were scanning at he replied "normal resolution". If I had been in a better mood I would have fallen over on the floor laughing but sadly I was in grmpy old man mode and had to tell him that that was a completley ridiculous answer. To make matters worse his thick old lady of an assistant pipes up - "Oh I thought it was whatever resolution you set your camera at!" Words fail to describe the look I gave her.

Absolutely terrible!!
I ordered a 30X30, 60 page-photobook with my best pictures and they try to reduce the file size so much for uploading that all pictures are pixelated, really, really noise.
If your pictures are very mediocre or bad, the result will be even worse. With pictures as good as mine, really sharp and corrected, the result was very dissapointing. I am asking my money back!! I am sorry I spent so many hours creating the book.
Do not print with Tescophoto any photobook! ...

I am a keen ametaur photographer who still uses a 35mm SLR camera.
Tescos 35mm films are cheap as is their film process service, and I've found the quality of the snaps good quality.
They are however unable 2 give me any technical information on their photo 2 cd service. So therefore I have not used this service, and will have 2 find somewhere else where they know what their doing !! ...

Advantages: Attractive service in appearance Disadvantages: Doesn't work, very poor customer service
On 13.09.07 I registered with Tesco photo online. I sent 3 photos 6"x4" for printing and pick up at my local store (1 hour service). Although I received the confirmation e-mail seconds after I placed my order, 6 hours later the same day at the shop, my photos were not ready and furthermore my order was nowhere in their system....
Staff and manager unwilling to help and process my photos immediately (I had the photos with me on a USB key). Even if ... ...1 hour was promised, I was told to "go back in the queue" and wait another hour...

Tesco are cowboys. I am not happy with them. Their email customer service is non existent. I have lost count the number of times I have emailed cutomer service email address with my complaint and with a confirm delivery and read attached and only last night I received a terse, downright rude, unsigned , one liner stating that if my complaint was urgent please dont email use the phone. So whats the use of having an email address then?

I oredered about £30 worth of pics, all of them were underexposed, some more than others, there was no uniformity in the exposure. Some heads were chopped off! Even though I had taken care in using the cropping tool, the heads were still missing, UNBELIEVABLE!
What rubs salt into the wounds is that THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY EMAIL!! SO FRUSTRATING.

Advantages: easy pick up in stores, quick service, cheap Disadvantages: disproportionate croppings, slow upload online system-not user-friendly
...thought I would use the Tesco offer of 10 free 6"x4" photos online and see what the quality is like before going ahead and develop the whole lot of my holiday pictures. The online uploading system is not very user-friendly as you have to keep clicking the 'add picture' icon everytime it has uploaded the previous one(for some reason it kept closing down after each one). The glossy quality of the pictures in itself is not bad but most of the pics were ... ...cut or crop it to fit it! Fair enough if they did a good job but half of the prints ended up with missing top fourth of the head, a missing limb, or a sticking thumb up with missing hand (which made the pic kind of look rude :P). Well, for free prints I suppose I don't mind so much, but certainly will not be paying for more. ...
