|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Photo Shelter self fulfillment Angel Valentin, Photographer RIO GRANDE | PR | Puerto Rico | Posted: 6:50 PM on 10.20.09 ->> I have to set up an ordering gallery for a client and since I've never used Photo Shelter's self fulfillment service I'm looking for opinions from folks who have. Thanks in advance  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Pretty simple! Did you have specific questions or concerns? Cheers, Robert  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

On the photoshelter side, it's just how fast the customer completes the order process and makes the funds available. Then you get an email and order/produce the self-fulfill product and ship.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You can also set up your account in a way that you can review the order before it goes to printing, upload revised or resized versions, etc. and then submit it to their printer who will take care of shipping for you. Shipping charges are included in the transaction costs. If you upload fully finished images, you can also skip the review process and once the payment transaction is complete the order goes directly to the printer for production and shipping and you just get notified that it all happened. The ship time from their printer once the order has been placed seems to be 1-3 days and I think the image quality is pretty good and the cost to you seems very reasonable to me. From talking with some of their staff, they are in the process of expanding their variety of printers you can select, but do not have any specifics on who they might be adding or when. Maybe Alan can add some insight.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you're talking about the automated-fulfilment service through PhotoShelter's partner printing lab...all my customers have been happy and I've never had a complaint.

Is it 30 days or after to reach a certain amount in sales? If this is the case were I can print at a lab close by and ship out on my own I would save "HUGE" in printing costs.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

No minimum payment, funds are directly and instantly deposited in your PayPal account. You may also use a Merchant account with a service such as NetBilling.com, but I find PayPal is the easiest method.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

You just sit back and watch the thousands of dollars add up to your PayPal account.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (2) | Huh?
