Crappy user interface, unreliability of transfer

1

Winkflash photo prints are pretty good. The printed books are okay but they have a visible halftone dot pattern. The problem with Winkflash is mostly with photo transfer. They once had a great service for those of us with slow internet connections and limits on bandwidth: you could put your photos on a CD or DVD disk and mail them, and they would end up in your account! But some dummy over there took away that service, so now instead of buying prints every month, I now can only afford (from a bandwidth perspective) to upload a few photos at xmas time. They also had an economical and high quality spiral bound winkbook in 4x6 or 3x5 sizes that were cheap enough to give away as presents. Just group some photos and they would get bound into a neat little book! But some dummy, maybe the same one that got rid of the photo transfer on disk, also got rid of that service. Shame on winkflash! The website is pretty crappy in terms of user interface, especially if you want to transfer from a mac. No iPhoto plugin. If the FTP craps out in the middle of a transfer, it doesn't keep the files that were sent, you have to START OVER. This is really annoying if you have dial up or bandwidth quotas. The quality of the photo prints is good. The price is okay. The shipping rates are so-so. But the crappy user interface, unreliability of transfer, and the defunct service of transfer via CD disk are all negatives. I use to be a big user, and would be again if they restored their sanity and re-instituted the core services, and brought back the winkbooks. I used sony image station before winkflash. The transfer part of that now defunct site was great compared to Winkflash. But the prices were not great and Sony would crop photos in some stupid ways without permission.
