What customers say
I was so impressed with Fromex Photo Lab that I feel like I need to do a review (when I almost never write them). I sent an email with questions I had in the very early hours of the morning and received a response back very quickly, before their business was open, in fact.
I've been using Fromex since 2005 and even worked there for a brief period of time. I've never had a bad experience, the prints have always been reasonably priced and the quality is second to none. My most recent order I had drop shipped to my clients.
I ordered locket prints from ProLab Prints, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! The quality was outstanding—crisp, clear, and perfectly sized for my locket. The ordering process was seamless, and delivery was prompt. Customer service was also very responsive and helpful.
They will print from digital uploads and ship them to me in Hawaii sometimes in as few as 2 days. Their turnaround time is incredible. Always been happy with the quality of prints and the price. I print a few hundred 5x7s with white borders every year and Fromex Photo Lab has been my source for the past 3 years.
