Boo to Kphoto. What it Kphoto, I hear you ask? It's a program you download from K-Mart's website that allows you to send your images over the internet to the photo printing place (ie: your local KMart), and then a few days later, you pick them up.

I was trying it out with 3 recent photos, at 29c each... ie: total cost of 87 cents... right?

Wrong... total cost = $2.86 - inclusive of $1.99 processing fee.

Hmmmm... when the admin overhead is 229% of the cost of the actual photos... I think that it's stupid and not worth it. Next time I'm at the shops getting food, I'll just go into the shop and use the yellow photo booth things... and their money (labour cost) when I drop the receipt in with the person.

Boo Kphoto.

HEy there

The reason why there is the admin cost is because we dont actually print the photos onsite! Kodak print them in Melbourne and then send them to the different stores!

We pay Kodak for the prints and charge the customer

Its a stupid system the photos should come straight to the stores!

we send ours online to camera house - they print at the store and don't charge any processing fee....

unfortunately for me; the nearest camerahouse to my place is at Chermside. I go there once a month (if that). Was expanded (almost double in size) end of last year; hard to find a park, etc...
