WalMart or Shutterfly for printing digital pics?

[blurredvision]

I have a ton of digital pics that I'd like to look into printing, and I'm torn between which of these services to use. Wal-Mart is a little cheaper when it comes to in-store pickup or home (shipped) delivery, but Shutterfly also has great rates, some rates that can beat Walmart when purchased in bulk. Plus, shipping is fairly reasonable as well.

Does anyone have experience with either when it comes to printing digital photos? If so, were you pleased with the quality? I'm vaguely familiar with Walmart's quality with film, but I have never seen the digital picture prints. My thought process is that Shutterfly specializes in this sort of thing, so maybe their quality is better for the small premium, which I don't mind to pay.

Thanks for any insight.

EDIT: Imagestation looks to be cheaper than everyone at only $.12 a regular print (5"x7"), and one member here has already applauded the quality of the prints. Does anyone else have any experience with them?

i've used probably 5 different online printing sites such as ofoto, shutterfly, fuji, sony imagestation, and all i remember was that i like the sony online printing the best. if i remember correctly, they use fujifilm photo paper. i've also used walmart in-store and i was pleased with their results.

I've been using Snapfish and picking my prints up at a Walgreens.

Another vote for Snapfish. I started out printing digital photos at walmart, but they seemed inconsistent, they were too blue or yellow many times.

We use them both. I like to use Walmart because you can have them printed at the store and there's no shipping fee. But we've used them both and others and never saw any real difference. Just the websites are different and some give you more flexibility in editing your picture online.

I've checked out the Imagestation.com website, and they look to be the cheapest out of everyone. Has anyone else used imagestation.com to print?

i used shutterfly for christmas calendars and was happy with the quality. when you open an account with them you get a bunch of free prints too.

mpix is the best but they aren't the cheapest. If you just want 4x6s of snapshots go ahead and use whatever is cheapest.

Better than the rest suggested in this thread. I'm a photographer and I use mpix.

As Anubis said..there are better but you will pay for it.
