Earlier this year I had family visit from overseas who we hadn't seen for 2.5 years because Covid. Anyway 4 x P&S were loaded with C41 and distributed across the family to snap away.
It's now time to get them dev & printed at 6 x 4 with an extra set of prints (I don't need scans). In the past I've used AG Photo and they were roughly £13 ish for dev and 2 sets of prints. However their print prices have increased dramatically (I know all prices have risen etc) but the cost for this is now £20.49 per film. AG have Freepost mailers and paid for return postage.
I've heard people mention Photo Hippo being ok and they do what I want with added bonus of a download of scans for £16.50. No Freepost mailers but return postage included.
Then via t'internet I've come across Snaps Photo Services Ltd, Bournemouth. https://www.snapsphotoservices.com/
For what I want it's £11.37 which is very appealing even taking into account paying postage both ways. Their website indicates it's all done in-house/their shop and they not long ago upgraded their E6 dev kit so that gives me some confidence.
So does anyone have film dev experience of Snaps Photo Services they can share?
NB: 5 or so years ago I used a cheap Hull based company that must have turned auto everything to the max and the prints were awful and really blown out so I don't want that experience again (the same cameras produced considerably better prints via AG).
