More Free Offers from Online Photo Printing Sites in India

Apart from Picsquare there are two more startup online photo printing services, namely Itasveer and Snapfish (which is an HP Company). They both are luring new customers to register in their site and hence offering free prints when you register and order prints through them.

First, Itasveer, is giving away 10 free prints initially to those who register for free and order prints for the first time. These free prints are applicable only for 4" x 6 " prints. You only need to pay the shipping costs of Rs. 30/- for up to 50 prints, which I felt was a reasonable amount for shipping charges. Consider that you are planning to avail only 10 prints initially to order. You will be paying Rs. 30/- only as shipping charges. And hence you are saving Rs. 30/- per 10 prints if you order it through your local printing studio, which charge around Rs. 6 for each print. Hence this offer can be termed as 50% off on your printing charges, if you plan to print only 10 prints and not entirely free. Itasveer is also currently running another promo where you need not pay any shipping charge if you order for more than Rs. 50/-, but this cannot be clubbed with the free prints offer. I have tried Itasveer once before some time back and fount their print quality as not so good as Picsquare.

Secondly, Snapfish is which is the Indian version of their popular international version, Snapfish.com. It is from the printing giants HP. They are currently giving away 20 free prints and free photo album for your first order if you register now. This I feel is the king of offer among the startup online printing companies. This does not, as always, does not include the shipping charges which only the user need to pay. But I felt their shipping charge for up to 60 prints of Rs. 44/- to be a bit high when compared to Itasveer and Picsquare. But considering you are getting 20 free prints initially and a photo album, I would give it a try since you are getting 20 prints for Rs. 44/- which means you are getting it for Rs. 2.20 for each print, which is way below the normal rate or Rs. 6/-. I have not given it a try yet, hence I could not comment on its printing quality.

Eventually, I personally feel that getting your photos printed from online photo printing services is here to stay in the long run, but still I would prefer to give my normal prints (4 x 6) printed at my local studio considering you need to pay extra charges for shipping, except in cases like Snapfish India offering each prints for just Rs. 2.95, which would nullify the extra shipping charges that we need to pay for getting it printed and delivered without having to move from your home or even to your nearest photo studio. And getting your photos printed on things like T-shirt, coffee mugs, mouse pads, and calenders is where these sites would come in handy for me, which I don't think I can get it done from the local photo printing shops in India.
