What is positive?I love photobox, the service is just really fast the last 3 times ive orederd i was amazed to find the prints arrived in the post the very next day. Prices are really competative and the print quality is excellent and it has a much smoother upload process than some other labs i have tried in the past.

I am a particular fan of the gifts, i have made mugs, calendars, puzzels from photobox for freinds and family and ordered all my sisters hen night t-shirts that had photos on! I think they are great value and great fun.
What is negative?nothing
SummaryFantastic value, excellent prices and great serivice, i dont think you can ask for more really!

What is positive?Service speed is excellent. I uploaded over 50 images at about 5.20pm one evening and they were delivered the next day. I have never had to wait more than 48 hours.
Much easier to upload these days and My Albums feature allows you to store your photos for other family members to see / order which can be great fro Weddings, Birthday Parties, etc.
Quality is usually very good and they are one of the few companies to offer Matt prints.
What is negative?Nothing major - I resize my images before I send them and it can sometimes be a bit fiddly to crop again to fit the 7" x 5" format.
SummaryOverall a superb service and one which I recommend to all my frinds amd family.

What is positive?Uploading photos is simple. Turnround time is excellent. Quality is superb. For 6x4 prices can be as low as 13p/print by buying print credits which remain valid for 12 months.
What is negative?Postage & packing is £1.50. This adds 15p / print if you order only 10. Best to hold your print requirements until you perhaps 50+.
SummaryThis is a great Lab. for service & quality. Shame about the postage charge though which seems a little excessive.

What is positive?Amazingly quick turn around - prints arrived less than 2 working days
Ability to use FTP program to directly upload your photos - much quicker and less painful if you have loads of photos to upload or some really big poster size files. If you know what you are doing with an FTP program then this is probably the better option.
Private and public online photo albums are useful for sharing pictures with friends and family.
Fuji crystal archive paper gives excellent quality prints
Often have offers on eg 30 free prints on sign up, 25% off non standard photos at the moment etc. Good discounts if you want to order a whole stack of prints.
What is negative?Not the cheapest for standard prints and seem to be quite expensive for larger prints.

Ordered a 'framed print' as a last minute birthday gift for someone. The picture was excellent but the frame was awful and really worth a fraction of the price that was being charged for it!
SummaryGood quality prints and very quick turn around. Easy to share photos online. Direct FTP access very useful.

A bit expensive and stay well clear of the framing service!

What is positive?Really good quality prints, the colours are excellent and service is quick. Like the prepay option on 6*4 prints. You pay £20 for 105 print credits which work out at 19p for a 6*4 photo. You can also upload your photos for friends to view or go public. Also have a wide range of gift ideas
What is negative?The prepay option is only for 6*4 or 5*3.75 prints
SummaryI am really pleased with the photo's I received especially on the colour quality. Much better than the previous lab I used. Also like the prepay option which reduces the price down to 19p for 6*4 prints.They also have a good range of services that they offer which helped me with Xmas gifts.
Delivery was quick and the free webspace to share photo's with my family was a bonus.
I would certainly recommend them.
