I think I need a new lab.

I have used Mpix as my lab for many years and have been very happy, however I have just gotten a new contract to shoot several large groups. Each group is going to have about 150 couples to shoot and I will need to send the orders all in at the same time. Each couple will hopefully buy a "package" of prints. I'm looking for a lab that I can upload each order and have them packaged and shipped back to me as each individual order. If I have them all printed at Mpix then I will have many hours in sorting out all the images. Is there a good lab that will do this for me?

Seems like the simplest thing would be to send separate orders under different names or #s to Mpix?

No reason why MPIX can't do that. Just upload as individual orders. The only additional expense is going to be shipping, but you are going to have that from any lab.

Well this is correct. But $7.95 shipping for each order is alot. That's about $120.00 just in shipping costs. I was just hoping to find a less expensive solution.

An alternative would be to put the individual orders into a nearby Costco and have your clients pick them up (or you pick them up). But if you really want to save on shipping costs, why not just order them all together and then do the sorting yourself?

I have not used Mpix, but I have used Millers', which owns Mpix. I dunno what the price difference is (or even the print quality/options are), but Millers' includes over night shipping in their prices.

+1 for Miller's.

I recently created an account with Miller's. They have been fantastic so far. Quality is excellent and the customer service and communication have been A++++.
