They're great prints, have a variety of options, absolutely amazing customer service. When you sign up with them they'll send you a few free 8x10's so that you can verify the color of their printers. They'll also reprint any prints that aren't up to spec. More than once they've stopped printing because it "didn't look right", they told me what color range to check and what to fix, and then they reprinted. They've also reprinted a 24x30 foamboard print ($90) because the hand cut edge wavered a bit. No questions asked, they didn't even want the original back. I'm very satisfied with them. Oh, and shipping is 2 Day Air, free with every order.

If you don't calibrate your display with hardware then it really doesn't matter that much where you send for prints. I use winkflash a lot and really like them. Without a calibration, you can get a print and try and make your display match the print afterwards. Then you know that WYSIWYG.
