Scans here are amazing. they are uploaded to google drive (or dropbox) within a few hours (i even dropped my film late one day expecting them to get to it the next day, but instead they uploaded it even after the store had closed!) the quality is so much better than other places that my family thought i started using higher quality film

After striking out at a few places, Express photo helped us create a beautiful portrait the same day. They even did a little touching up and put it on poster board. We needed this for a funeral so this type of service is priceless. I would give 6 stars if I could
