My friend introduced me to this place, and said his wife and kids swear by this place, and remembering this, I went here and recently used their services. I can tell you that the price is about the same as LD, but the level of personability and service is next to none. The amount of knowledge they have as to what type of picture you need is another thing, whether it be for a passport or a certain country's visa, they will know and they got you covered. I had a great session with Mr. Yoo, he is definitely friendly, and even ask, "how did you hear about us?" which is actually really cool. The setup in here is pretty basic, but hey.... he knows what he is doing with what he has got, and can also do digital only if you need that. Oddly on this day the debit machine didn't work, but I can confirm he takes this form of payment as well. I hope to use them again and definitely recommend.

Very little is at the bottom end of Hornby Street now, as this is mostly a Monday to Friday business oriented street with office buildings, as most retail places (the Channel store as an example) have shut their doors due to lack of traffic. This little store tries to do it all, with your fridge of soda and energy drinks, your loads of tobacco needed for those work breaks, a lotto ticket (for the dreamer in all of us), and now they even offer passport photos (since Sinclair is right around the corner) and dry cleaning (for the person who really has everything in fast forward in life and no time). Always greeted by a family of Korean's who run this little shop, it's always a nice experience of a little business trying to survive in the downtown core. They also carry greeting cards, and other odd trinkets like a dollar store.

The setup is all there. All you have to do is sit, stare at the corner, get blinded (flash) a couple of times, and 5 minutes later your pictures are given to you in an envelope with a smile. Very nice Korean couple running the place. My 2 photos came to $12.00 after tax. They're not the cheapest, but it was quick and painless, and the service was excellent. For that, I give them 4 stars. Recommended.

I took a look at the photo and compared it against the requirement, and the photo clearly matches the wrong photo example where the head is too big.

It's very unprofessional.

I've come here a few times, and I must say the guys working here are friendly, and provide the right advice as I had a package that I was trying to stuff, that looked like a ball when it was done, and they told me, if I was able to flatten it out, it would be cheaper to mail, as it's gotta fit into the slot. Saved me a few bucks, give you an extra star for that! Even on their busiest of times, like Christmas when everyone is sending everything from old Christmas cake, these guys get through the line-up fast. They also do passport photos here, and sell ink toner, how those two business relate is a question I'm still wondering, as there is one near my house that has this set-up too, I ain't questioning it. All I know is this is the closest place for me around my work that I can ship stuff on the good ol' Canada Post, even though sometimes I think their prices are a rip-off. It's a pretty store, setup with personal mail boxes, selling envelopes and boxes, and yet they still carry a name like 'Photo Express', go figure?

Their experience and teamwork makes you feel relaxed. They take photos for you in the store and they are even willing to do baby passport photos while most places will not. Fantastic customer service. Last time I left the Canada Post downtown on Davie just to come here instead. My box package wouldn't fit into bubble wrapper so I thought I needed to get a bigger box to put it in and buy bubble wrap in addition- the lady at the downtown location simply told me there was no bubble wrap larger than size 7 but had no alternative advice for me. When I went to Photo Express at Oakridge one of the young ladies recommended me package wrapping paper instead! This option and suggestion save me at least $10 and I ended up spending the same amount of money if I had just bought a bubble wrapper.

Granted my visit today was an in-person submission of a simplified adult renewal application. There was no line at the entrance to the office. I advised the 2 security guards the purpose of my visit. I was given a slip to complete my credit card information for the application fee. One of them then led me to a very short line for 1 window with only 2 people ahead of me. I had my form fully completed (but not signed yet), my photos and my current passport. When it was my turn, the clerk reviewed my form, had me signed the application form and another form with my picture pasted on, and told me my passport will be mailed in 2 weeks time so I should get it by registered in 2-5 business days from the day it is mailed. I asked about the pick up option. She told me it would not be any faster and there would be an extra charge of $20 so I opted for the mailing option. Including waiting for the 2 people ahead of me to be processed, I was in an out in 30 minutes.
