The experience on shutterfly starts off great, but you soon realize they will upsell you on everything, so that somewhat reasonably priced photobook you thought you were going to be creating goes for ~$40 costs over $100 by the time you check out. To give an example, you have to PAY to have the shutterfly logo removed from the photobook you create. That's ridiculous. Very sneaky, very crafty, but by the time you've invested 3 or 4 hours to do the design and then realize how much the final product is going to cost you, you are effectively left with two choices - pay $100 when you were only really willing to pay $40 because of all the little extras you have to pay for, or start from scratch on another site that is a little more transparent with their pricing. They also charged my credit card $29 for overseas shipping when I was quoted $9.95 in the checkout process, so the photobook actually ended up costing me $120! Not happy. Given its lack of transparency and all the little hidden costs they slug you with, I would recommend looking elsewhere if you are thinking about using Shutterfly.
