Angry Boatpix Prices

Got my 3 prints in the mail yesterday after 2 months.

The pictures are not vivid, not edited, and the photographer cropped out my Fountain roost! All 3 photos were almost identical and it didn't even look obvious that it was from the air. Cell phone pics from my friends cabin cruiser look just as good.

The prices... $420 for each print!! $930 for one digital photo! There's some BS "discounts" in there which brings the price of all 3 photos to like $840 for the prints. You don't have rights to use the photos unless you buy the digital copies.. so if you spend that much and decide to take a photo of the print and stick it online you can get in trouble or something. Not really sure what they do about it.

Don't waste your time waiting 2 months for the prints unless you love wasting money on bad photos. You'll also have to waste a little time going to the post office to return that garbage.

That's unfortunate...sucks to wait that long, in anticipation...only to be severely disappointed. At least you are able to NOT accept the pics, it sounds like? So no out-of-pocket expense?

We had them take some for a run a group of us were on, the proofs they e-mailed were not bad but when I looked at the price I thought no way.

But I had already bought a metal print and the electronic file of one Pete did, no comparison. His prices are reasonable and you get very nice work.

Well, I know it isn't a huge amount of money but yes, I had to pay to send the big poster holder back to them. If I had been able to see a photo online before ordering, they wouldn't have had to waste their money.

Ah that's cool I didn't get to see anything beforehand. Metal print sounds awesome!
