What service has the best cards - such as Christmas cards?

I prefer quality over price for Christmas cards, and haven't been impressed with the Sam's or Costco picture quality. But I like the convenience of doing it online. I just hate to order 100 cards and then have to buy them all over again.

Thanks girls!

Last year my husband and I took pictures of our girls by our Christmas tree ( of course we did this last minute- Dec. 23rd!!) and we went to Target's website. They had a nice selection to choose from and we picked it up the next day. The pictures turned out really nice and the price was great too!! I will probably do the same thing again this year. I hope this helps!!

So I can't offer you advice as this is only my 2nd attempt at doing photo cards but I have a question for everyone -

Do you get the same quality if I do 1 hr service or in store pick-up? I plan to use Walmart(unless someone here advices me against it) and there is only a 7 cent difference between 1 hr and in-store pick up. If the quality is better, I'll use the in store pick-up as I'm in no hurry but if the quality is the same, I might do the 1 hr.. I used shutterfly last year and they were good but very spendy(if I remember correctly). I am looking for something cheaper.

Last year I used Winkflash. I liked that they had free personalization, choice of matte or glossy, and I could order two different styles of cards using two different photos (so I made one card religious and one non-religious) without an extra charge. (I also ordered my freind's cards with the same order, so we only had one shipping charge). I will probably use winkflah again (cards are only 23 cents each). However, I see that Walgreen's has Disney, Precious Moments, and Peanuts on their cards--very cute, but more expensive. Is anyone ordering fewer cards this year because stamp prices are more this year? I think I'm going to cut my list down a little.

Thanks for the info. I still can't decide which design to use. There are SO many on all the different sites. How do you guys decide which design to use? I think I'll stick to walmart as winkflash's shipping seemed high to me.

I must say that we are big fans of the Sam's Club and Costco photo cards. We like 'em cheap! LOL....figure they get thrown out or lost eventually anyhow.
We have not had much trouble with the quality.

Snap Fish and other similar sites have really cute stuff to choose from, but just too pricey for us.

This year, I found some nice Christmas Cards at Target (really cute) that have a space on the front for a 4x6 photo. They were less than $3 per 10 pack.

I used Shutterfly for a few years and they were ok.

This year I used Snapfish and I love them. The website is easier to use and pictures upload faster. They were also less expensive.
