Club Photo Online Store

Pros: Easy on-line photo storage
Cons: Slightly difficult-to-use software

Clubphoto.com is best suited for online albums where one already has both the pictures developed and scanned already. They don't have much in terms of in-house scanning and developing, but they'll happily convert one of your prints into a delicious (but...

Pros: Easy of use
Cons: ads are always a con, but these aren't too intrusive

Are your friends and family complaining about all the huge jpeg files you send them? This is the perfect compromise. Club Photo makes uploading files so easy you can do it while carrying on an IM chat with someone on the side. The browse function...

Pros: Fast and reliable service
Cons: takes away from quality

This is obviously a very helpful techonology. However, compared to actually having it printed at a store, it doesn't list up that high on my list. I have only done this once because I wanted to see the quality of the pictures. I recieved the pictures...

I have been a member for five years and they are relatively good.
I have so many albums that they probably have me for life...

In two occasions some of my photos were lost (and never recovered!) so I had to re-load them (thank God for back-ups).

I was "forced" to upgrade to Platinum to keep all my albums.

Their prices are high. I also have Snapfish and is a lot cheaper.

So far I have had no complaints on their print quality.

I was a long time and satisfied customer of club photo recommending it to all my friends and Mac buddies. (Even over the expensive iPhoto Mac service). The quality was great, the pricing was the best and I never had a problem. Until I ordered my annual Holiday Photocards 2003. This time, they never arrived. I had requested overnight, e-mailed them after a week, e-mailed them again and again and they never responded. (Actually, they have never responded to any of my password problem e-mails either). I finally canceled the order December 17th after I had constantly tried to reach them on their always busy phone number. After the Holidays the customer service folks told me on the phone that they had been swamped, I should have ordered them in October and that they did reply to my e-mails (?!) Bottom line. I never was able to send out my 2003 photocards and I will never use this service again. They is too much good competition out there.

Clubphoto closed without any warning to its customers in March 2007. Many people lost all of their photos.

I have been reading that a big company bought clubphoto and blew all the $ on fancy printing machines, then fired the staff, and finally shut down the servers. Some customers had placed orders that were charged onto their credit cards but haven't received their orders.

It's heartbreaking and infuriating. If only they would leave their servers up for a few weeks for everyone to retrieve their files.

I can't believe they shut down without any notice. As one of the previous reviews reads, very unethical! I have been a customer for over 4 years and all my pictures are lost. I have so many memories in those pages, all gone!

Say it isn't SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do wedding photography and for years I've allowed my brides, their family, and friends to order straight from Club Photo at great prices.

I now have brides calling me about the orders they have placed and not received. Plus I had 1000's of images (25 to 30) that are now gone. It will take me weeks to upload to another server.

I don't know why they could not have said " We're going out of business and you have 30 days to save your images."

I would love to know who made the call!! I would like to spit some tobacco in that dude's eye.

I have been a member of Club Photo for 5 years. I just got back from a vacation and wanted to upload my photos. Much to my amazement, the site is "under construction" and I cannot get hold of them. They are not even listed anymore on a google search for internet photo processing! Luckily, I have all my photos on my iPhoto but all those albums I uploaded and have not ordered are useless not. I just upgraded to platinum also! I can't believe they didn't alert their customers. Don't know what is going on with them. The past six months their site was very unreliable. do not use them if they ever come back online!

Club Photo was once a revolutionary website, offering a host of wonderful services. However, as of late you cannot get an order processed and they will not return email. In fact, my email bounced back as undeliverable. Their online form does not work either - and the website is down a great amount of the time.

I too have been a member for many years and have seen the deterioration of service from Club Photo. When the site is up and working, it is great. When it is down (or is it now dead??), it is impossible to contact Support. As of the last few days the site is totally absent - This time I will probably go with another service, probably Kodak or Shutterfly. I am really tired of the inconsistencies in availability and service. KR

For five years this has been great. But Club photo is NO longer working and they do not reply to email nor phone.

It is the Worst for online photos currently.

Too bad! I have been a member for just over five years and have paid and paid...

I ordered a large print from a .jpg file. The print I received was very, very dark and was totally unusable. I complained to their Customer Service and was told that they believed it was printed correctly. They told me that my monitor is at fault even though I told them that the photo looks fine on 3 different monitors and on two inkjet printers. After some hassle I did get a refund of part of the cost. They don't seem to want to improve their service to deliver a quality product.
