What customers say
I had very good experience. Went in and someone came to assist right away. We used the computer to order and it was ready in 10-15 minutes.
We've been customers of McAlister Photoworks for many years and have always appreciated their customer service and quality prints. I recently arranged for them to create new prints of a cherished family photo, knowing it would be in good hands.
I'll admit I was a little uneasy about trying this business because of all the bad reviews. I delivered two rolls of color film that had some irreplaceable shots on them.
I had super old disposable cameras I found and brought them here for processing. Got them back in about 3.5 hours for $9 a camera (digital copies only, per my preference). A pharmacy chain photo department would send them out and it would take weeks to process for almost double the price.
