When we tested | August 2020 | August 2020 |
Summary | York creates a nice-quality print. However, we noticed some cutting issues in our test order. 4/10 of our photos had white edges left from the cutting process, in particular the square print. | Amazon is one of the best deals for photo prints, especially for Prime members who get free shipping with no order minimum. Amazon sent our 10 test photos by UPS 2nd Day Air, the quickest delivery in all our tests. However, the quality isn't as good as some of our other tests like Walmart local and Nations. |
