Compare Online Photo Printing Sites To Get The Best Price & Quality For Your Digital Photos

Remember when I wrote about sites that compare shipping costs for packages? Well, that's helpful when you have to ship something (even a letter) and you first want to find out which courier service is the cheapest -- UPS, FedEx, DHL, USPS, etc.

Turns out, there's a similar site that compares prices of photo printing sites, too. I bet this is one that most of us will be using on a regular basis!

Save a ton on photo printing services simply by checking out PrintRates.com.

Why This Site Is Great...

Anyone who prints out their digital photos online (or even at local stores like Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart) will LOVE this site because it compares the prices for all of the online photo printing sites -- right in one place and in a millisecond!

How It Works...

You just type in how many prints you want, and which size you prefer (4x6, poster-size, or anything in between), then click 'search prices'.

What you'll see is a list of all the online digital photo print sites -- in order of the cheapest to the most expensive for the photos you mentioned above. (If you like, you can also sort the results by type of shipping -- standard, priority, 2nd day, overnight).

Be Careful...

Some of the "cheapest prices" might be for a site that's below par in terms of quality or service. But have no fear -- there are plenty of reviews and ratings right there, so you won't be caught off-guard.

What I do, is just eyeball the list and scan for the company names that I'm most familiar with. Then I just pick the one that has the best price from there!

For example, there are more than 50 online photo printers listed at this site. And your search will yield results for all of them -- from the cheapest to the most expensive. But I usually look for my favorites in the list like these:
