Foto.com A good way to go 21/08/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Good tracking system, easy to use website and uploading tool
Disadvantages None really, a few little things

*Note - This is a review of the photo development section of the website, other sections include, posters, photo books, canvases & other personalised photo gifts. I have been desperate to get one of my sets of digital photos printed for ages. Numerous trips into Sheffield city centre confirmed that this was going to be very expensive. At 54p per photo I simply could not afford to get them printed. This was an issue as they were part of a present that I was running out of time to get. After one last trip into the city centre that just ended in more disappointment, I decided to type in "photo ... more

To recieve?? Or no to recieve?? .... That is the question! 15/10/2010

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages Good quality if actually recieved
Disadvantages It's a bit of a con!

Last Christmas I was browsing the internet trying to find something different for my poor dad who for the last 10 or so years has received the usual socks and deodorant for Christmas of me. That's when I got a pop up for FOTO.com. Now I am not usually somebody who would opt for even paying attention to these annoying thing that pop up as you are trying to work or more importantly, shop for Christmas presents! But this particular one caught my eye. Being drawn in I had to take a look! The website looks very official and it does state on it that it uses Kodak making me feel more comfortable ... more

Certainly a good effort 15/06/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Very good value for money, speedy delivery
Disadvantages Not always fantastic quality, poor website

I used Foto.com to have some large-format prints made of some arty photos I'd taken. I chose them primarily because of price - at approximately B2 size, their prints were under £5, whereas the nearest competitors were more than 3 - 4 times that. Uploading the photos was a challenge - after grappling with the Java upload thinger in Opera and finally getting my photos selectable, I was unable to complete the process and had to drop down to Internet Explorer. The ActiveX uploader failed and I had to use the old-fashioned HTML form option; which, although slow, did have the advantage of actually ... more

Quality prints, delivered fast & cheap 24/01/2009

User recommends the product

Advantages Good quality prints, fast delivery
Disadvantages Website can be a bit fiddly, P&P can be expensive so watch out.

I'm not a big fan of printing out digital photos - I prefer them online. So when I need to get copies done for relatives I want a site that is easy, quick and cheap. Foto.com has so far been all three. There are many different types of business, the small intimate ones, the expensive luxury ones and the supermarket that does it all, cheaply. I'd rate foto.com as the latter, it's not somewhere I would expect to go for personal advice but the quality of their prints has always been perfect, at all sizes. Their delivery is very fast and the boxes they use are very good at making sure you get your ... more

Formidable Foto.com: great online photo service! 14/06/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Good Price as well as Good Quality, very fast delivery
Disadvantages uploading the pictures can be quite a slow process, the java upload option did not work

When purchasing a product, we all want to feel that we have found a good deal and have not been cheated in any way, a combination that is often hard to find. This is particularly true of the online digital photo printing business which is quickly expanding on the web, each company offering competitive prices and offers to draw customers like flies. So we have to be intelligent flies before we taste what is on offer, as it does not always taste of sugar! I was recently comparing sites to see which one offered the best value as well as quality service to get my digital photos printed. I had ... more
