Walmart has had pretty poor reviews from users. The site also lists a technical support email and features a FAQs section with common problems and solutions. There is no telephone number on the site however, there is a live chat option. Some of these services have been affected by Covid, with the same day pick up being cut for the time being, though 24 hour delivery from your local store is still available. If you’re willing to pay more, you can choose from overnight, two-day and standard shipping methods, so you can get your book quickly or economically. If you choose this route, the standard production time averages around two to three days. While Walmart Photo provides one of the quickest ways to print a custom photo book, if you don’t want to print it immediately at a store, you also can have it printed and shipped to your home. If you’re in a real time crunch, you can even order one-hour pickup. Select sizes and cover options are available for same day pickup. Make sure all your pictures are as high quality as you can wrangle otherwise your album simply won’t look its best. If you use low-quality images, they will be blurry in the printed version.
However, whatever resolution you upload pictures in will be the resolution that they’re printed. The photo upload box is an easy drag and drop interface to keep things simple. Try our top pick - Mixbook (opens in new tab) - if you want to have better choice. You can’t even add embellishments to the photos, which makes it hard to get creative with your project. Layouts, templates, pictures and text aren’t adjustable. Most of the controls are labeled when you first enter, and it resembles other sites of the same type pretty closely.Įven though the templates make it quick and easy to create a photo gift, they limit your creative design ability. After you’ve picked your template, you’ll be taken to an easy to navigate picture upload page.
Due to the quick turnaround of its print and pick up deal, it doesn’t allow for as much customization as other sites. Walmart has done a good job of creating a range of templates and styles to suit your needs. Though, again, the availability of each of these depends on your book size. There are ten different covers: Hard Cover Glossy, Hard Cover Matte, Soft Cover, Linen Cover, Leather Cover, Paper Cover, Layflat Glossy, Layflat Matte, Premium Layflat, Mini Premium Layflat. Each book size has different cover options, so the size you order determines what kind of cover options are available. There are eight sizes – 4x4, 4圆, 5x7, 8圆, 8x8, 8x11, 11x14, and 12x12 inches – as well as mini photo books and flip books. Walmart Photo offers many different book sizes and cover options. The one good thing about Walmart Photo, aside from the same day pickup, is that it doesn’t print its logo anywhere on or inside the book. The binding and cover were relatively sturdy, though the pages felt very thin when compared to some competitors' books. In a blind scoring panel, our testers gave this sample the lowest print quality score of all the books we ordered. Many of the images inside the book are pixelated as well. Some members of the family didn’t even make it on the cover. This resulted in the image appearing too zoomed in and extremely pixelated. When placing photos in the online editor, we couldn’t make the cover image fit within the window. The book we made with Walmart Photo wasn’t the best. (Image credit: Walmart Photo) Walmart Photo: Quality & Services In true Walmart style there are always the coveted Rollback prices to keep you interested, with sales ongoing. There are a range of sizing and price options in between, and you’ll be sure to find something to suit your needs. Should you be looking at something a little smaller than a 4x4 mini book could cost as little as $10, while a premium 12x12 book (that’s three times the size) will cost around $60. That's pretty much in line with what we’ve seen with other providers. For an 8 x 8 book, you’d be looking at an additional $1.32 for each extra page spread. The price for additional pages depends on the size of book you order.
Walmart Photo does not charge for standard shipping, but you might spend a couple dollars on tax. You can order an 8 x 8 hardcover book for $21.96.
Walmart Photo offers one of the cheapest photo books on the market. That's why it earns a spot on our list of the best photo books (opens in new tab). It's tough to top Walmart, and although the print quality isn't quite as high as many of its competitors, you can't beat the convenience, and you'll struggle to better the low prices.
