Last October, Flickr added a new photo prints option to their wonderful photo sharing service. With two adorable kids at home I've been snapping photos and uploading them to my Flickr account every few days. This week I had a chance to give Flickr's photo prints service a try.

Flickr's interface and ordering process in comparison to services I've tried in the past was a breeze. I've never been completely happy with the tedious and time-consuming upload options provided by some of the other photo print services. With Flickr, because all of our favorite pictures were already cropped, color-balanced, and uploaded, choosing prints became a very smooth and convenient process.

Selecting the prints I wanted was as easy as browsing through our photos, clicking upon the 'Order Prints' button, and selecting a print size and quantity.



Once I was finished selecting photos to have printed, I clicked on my cart icon to finalize my order. From this point I then verified my order list and made the choice between picking up my photos at the local Target store or having the photos mailed to me. Since Josie was going to visit her mom the following day we opted for the Target pick-up option.

Arriving at Target's photo processing center, I was promptly greeted by one of their clerks who politely pulled up my order. The clerk even took the time to ask me how I enjoyed the service. She noted that most of the bugs in the process had been worked out and that customers were generally very pleased with the service. In my case, I couldn't agree more.

Overall, I was very satisfied with Flickr's photo prints service. The process was quick, reliable and fun. The price was right and, most of all, the quality of the prints were excellent. I will definitely be using their service again very soon.
