I've used DS Colour Labs for quite some time now but only today realised how much their delivery service has shot up.
I was at a club meeting a few nights ago and someone mentioned giving Simlab a try so I thought I'd do my own little comparison of the two companies. I processed a few prints at 15x10 as I normally would and sent them all to both labs. It wasn't until the prints from DS Colour Labs didn't turn up the next day that I realised I had not checked their deliveries. In the past Standard prints from DSCL have always arrived next day but now this is an extra add on cost. The delivery and packaging from Simlab was brilliant and roughly half the price of what would have been the similar delivery from DSCL. Simlab gave me a time slot, the drivers name and lots of helpful communication where there was very little from DSCL.
Nothing to choose in the print quality but for me, DSCL were badly let down with their delivery costs and poor communication. I know where my orders will go in the future.
