Normally when there are school photos, one orders a package, then with a package there are options. Eg. I normally order the smallest package for about $13-$15, then a 11×14 which is in the area of $17 to $21 for a total cost of aroound $40. This time there wasn’t an option for the 11×14, so I call the company and they tell me when the package is delivered it comes with an order form, on that order form is the 11×14 option.Well I got the photos today, and yes there’s an order form, and yes the option for a 11×14 is there – FOR $35. It does say ready for framing, but what does that mean? Matted and Mounted or just cut to size without any trimming needed by me?
$35, they have got to be out of their minds.
Winkflash only charges $3.79 for a 10×15
Kodak only charges $17.99 for a 16×20
More price comparisons to show you how expensive Dante/Chester are:
8×10 – them $14 – yahoo photo $1.99 – Winkflash 29c – Kodak 99c
Even the shipping and handling is expensive – $7! It only cost me $7 to get a 20 page photo book sent from photobox in the UK. Yes I understand they might not be able to sell prints as cheaply as some of the larger companies, but come on, $35 is a huge mark up.
I really need to send a note into the principal and see if she’s aware of just how expensive these people are.
Ha ha, “MY FROG IS SPAWN OF SATAN” say’s it’s creator.
This is terrible. Because of your post, I now have to tell my son his favorite sound effect (from some other website) is available as a ringtone. I can’t deny him, he’s my baby. But I know I’m gonna want to shoot myself afterwards . . .
No, no no, Lynne, you do not have to tell him anything. Really, you don’t.
It’ll be the beginning of the end of civilization as we know in the US. See, he’ll get it, tell a friend, who’ll tell another friend, who’ll tell his cousin in California, a tourist in Ca will ask where he got it from and take it home to Iowa, then it’ll infest one state after another.
I’m sorry Lynne, I’m calling the National security now and have them come and lock you up before the damage is done…
That chit shows up in Iowa and I’ll ducttape your hands to a cell phone with that ringtone installed and I’ll hit redial..over and over and over and over……
