Finally Yahoo! has formed a partnership I can make use of… they are the e-provider of Target.com’s online photo lab. And since Yahoo acquired Flickr last year, I can make prints directly from Flickr to my local Target store for pickup. That saves a lot of hassle by eliminating the need for re-uploading photos one-by-one, ordering prints, etc. As an added bonus I am comfortable in the fact that I’m not lining Sam Walton’s pockets, and I don’t need to download any additional half-functional, ad-ridden, proprietary store software that barely works.
Last night Erin and I ordered about 90 prints, a mix of 4x9s, 5x7s and 8x10s. We went to the store to pick them up, expecting to pay about $95 plus tax, but when the guy rang it up he said the total was $45. When we asked about the discrepancy they guy explained that we qualified for some insane discount. I prefer not to ask too many questions in situations like that, so we swiped the credit card and left!
So the arrangement between Yahoo, Flickr, and Target has benefited me like few other corporate partnerships ever have.

I’ve used the Yahoo thing too!! apparently when you buy like so many pictures, you get so many free or something. I had printed a ton…around 120 or so probably and it only came out to be $50 or something like that. I was definitely not complaining!! It’s a great feature and I’m glad I don’ thav eto go to Walmart…I looove Target.
