3月31日 Harvey Norman vs James Place Cameras?I just tried to get some pictures printed at Harvey's. Took in a USB memory stick with 25 digital pics, but none of their Fuji "self-service" screens would read my images. So I transferred them onto an SD card, and tried that (I had my laptop with me so I could copy the pictures in store). Again, none of their consoles would read my SD card.
Bizarre!
Now, Harvey Norman will print 8" x 6" digital prints for $0.99c each, which is a good deal. But not much use to me because I couldn't get either of my media to work in their system.
So I went down the street to James Place Cameras, a local business. I asked about printing at 8"x6" and the young man said, "oh yes we do those, they're $9.95 each". I gulped and checked the price with him -- yep, 9 dollars and 95 cents each. I said that was a lot of money to which he replied somewhat defensively, "It costs a lot to print them you know".
Right.
That's ten times the price that Harvey Norman charges.
Now I would rather support a local business than the big chains, but ten times the price? For commodity digital prints?
Things that make you go hmmmm.
(By the way - many digital cameras take shots that are intended to be printed at 8" x 6", a ratio of 1.333:1. If you try and print 'standard' 6x4 pictures from your digital camera you will most likely see automatic cropping, rather annoying when aunty's head is cut off.) 回應 (9)
