I've only gotten test prints from WHCC and I really like the quality of photos and paper that I received 3 days after uploading my files. Shipping is free, and fast. Í'm wondering if any of you have any input on how MPIX compares with WHCC?? Pricing? quality? shipping? papers? etc!! I just read that MPIX is partnering with Zenfolio to host photos for display and any sales are fulfilled through MPIX. anyone familiar with this?? if so, have you used it and how does it work? what is your evaluation?
--------------------------- Thanks for looking...!

I have used both and much prefer WHCC. They are fast, easy, and have great CS. If there is any mistake, they quickly ship the fix free. In my opinion, MPIX is not even in their league!

WHCC shipping is free if it's shipped to you and you meet their minimum order. Shipping is free with Millers, too (the pro parent of MPIX). Got an email this week that was a reminder to turn in your tax info to WHCC if you don't want to be charged sales tax, now that they're in Texas.

Both are outstanding labs. Try more from each lab and you'll probably find things you like about each. If one lab suits your style better, that's the one to deal with. You won't get bad service or bad product from either one. | | | | | Premium Member

I've had nothing but good experiences with both companies. Like Shelby says, WHCC will start charging sales tax if you don't have a tax id. | | | | | Pro Pretty Girl Shooter

I just order my first order from Mpix the other day so as soon as it comes in I'll post my results. After checking both websites Mpix seems easier to use and WHCC seems to be geared more toward working professionals.

Just got my first order back from MPIX and all that I can say is WOW!! Every print looks just as I expected and came pack very well. Will certainly use again.

I use MPIX all the time and have for quite some time and I have been impressed with every order I get. Their CS is amazing, if its wrong they send another print no questions asked.
As far as pairing up with zenfolio it works very very well. The drop shipping option makes things significantly easier to deal with and keeps things a lot more hassle free from my end.
I really cant say enough positive about MPIX but at the same time I know LOTS of people who feel the same about other labs.

I really didnt like having to pay extra for the luster coat as my local lab charges the same for matte, glossy or luster. It wasnt a huge cost and was well worth it but just different in some way. Can anyone tell me if the MPIX luster is different from other luster papers? Is it an actual liquid (or spray) coat?

I have only used MPIX for my sports buttons and they do a fantastic job on those, I have probably order more than 100 from them over the past 2 months, every time, wonderful results, have had to send NOTHING back!! VERY happy with them for the buttons | | | | | Forum Master

I just placed a big print/Christmas card order with WHCC, and I am absolutely thrilled with them. The quality is fantastic. Throwing a tootsie pop in with each box is a nice touch :D | | | | | Living in the Light
