There are many companies that manage to stay in business in spite of their pneumatic behavior. They simply require some advantage that keeps them in business. There’s always a market for cheap garbage. Controlling a government-enforced market has propped many a sucky business. In the case of Shutterfly, it is presenting two business faces. One — the moneymaker and one it seems to do competently — is photo processing from image files. The other — the one it does horrendously — is running a semi-social, semi-cloud site for sharing and storage of photo images.

No, chetto, they’re not running a charity. They’re hardly running their website. That part is excrement, but the profits from the photo processing both keep the whole scow afloat and convince management that they’re doing a good job at everything.

Speaking of waking up, dude, try the decaf and stop channeling Ayn Rand.

Well,

If Shutterfly really suck then y are they still in the business? Where is Yahoo now? Yeah, they are charging people for downloading photos back but that’s business. Shutterfly is not running a charity inst. That’s what a wise comapany will do to maintain stability. Nothing is free in this world- wake up!!!!

Hmm, yes Shutterfly wont allow you to dnload pics, but I figured out a way to share your pics and upload original pics.

I upload pics on Shutterfly, especially album pics, which I dont want in full size, but would like to share with my friends and relatives. Then, I upload them to my GMail account using GSpace tool in theri original size, just as a backup.

To share my creative pics (landscapes, flowers, etc), I upload them too on my Gmail account but share on my Photoposts blog at full size resolution.

Shutterfly’s “service” is for total noobs and morons who use their ISP’s email. If you are an AOL hockey mom – go ahead and use it – you can make some lovely albums. If you are anyone half decent with a computer (i.e. know how to make a new folder with a name other than “new folder,” for instance) – forget this crap and move on. It took me about 20 seconds of my life to realize that this site is crap; I can’t download photos from it and there is really no reason to waste your time signing up for such a mongoloid service. That’s 20 seconds I can’t get back. Ever. And i am sure I am going to keep getting little ‘presents’ from them in my spam email address inbox too.

If Shutterfly does not have free HiRes downloads, what other photo website would you recommend that does what Shutterfly does and more?

Shutterfly’s customer service is generous and customer focused? Bull. You obviously work for Shutterfly.

Their site is horribly written and a pain to navigate. Then, when you have a problem, their customer service is condescending.

I wrote to them and advised of a coding error. They kept trying to blame it on me. (I’ve professionally made web sites for 13 years now.)

Then, when I wrote to them telling them I’m tired of arguing and told them to cancel my account, partially because Wal*Mart has 9¢ 4×6 prints, they sent me a link of why I should stay a customer.

The link, you ask? HOW THEY DON’T PRICE MATCH! How is that going to keep me as a customer!? They’re obviously complete idiots.

Ported my images from image station, HORRIBLE MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!! Stay away from this service. My HD Crashed and now I have to pay $50+ to get my pictures back. With imagestation I could get my HQ pictures back just buy downloading them (service available with most photo sharing sites. As far as their Customer service is concerned, the most I got out of them was tough luck, now pay us to get your pictures back. Their pricing for prints is barely competitive so I don’t know how they are still in business. Please take my advice and STAY AWAY FROM SHUTTERFLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had nothing but the best service, quality and quick return on all of my photo prints and products. My enlargements have been incredible!
As far as not being able to download the enhanced photos to my computer…no problem, as I still have the originals. However, it is a great idea to have Shutterfly download them on a CD for me.

I’m just getting started with Shutterfly. I didn’t know I won’t be able to download my own photos if I want to do so in the future. I want to have them organized, available and out of my computer, so any suggestions?

Thanks

Shutterfly is the best photo printing company. They are generous and customer focused company and there is no doubt about it. They offer a very competitive price and the quality are the best. Specially the customer representatives. they are all nice and you will not hesitate to ask them even the most stupid question in the world. For me, they are no.1 and I will recommendit to all my friends
