    Fantastic. Six stars. Fast, polite, and they actually bothered to do a decent photograph for my passport.

    I think it was about the same price or less as somewhere like London Drugs, and with these folks you are supporting a small business.

    Avoid at all costs!!! DO NOT GO HERE FOR GRAD PHOTOS!!!…read moreEven though UBC recommends this place, you can still have your photos taken elsewhere. If UBC forces you to take your graduate composite photo here for free, go ahead and do it, but DO NOT TAKE EXTRA PHOTOS WITH THEM! THIS IS A SCAM TO RIP YOU OFF! The photos are unprofessional and overpriced. TRUST ME! If you want photos with UBC regalia (Grad gowns), you will have the opportunity to get professional photos at your graduation ceremony! UBC has its own PROFESSIONAL photographers who will take a few photos of you on stage during the ceremony. They will email you later and you can purchase them for MUCH LESS than Evangelos, with better quality and a more professional look! If you're not sure, check with your department! I WISH I had known this before falling into Evangelos' trap and spending $500 on photos that I now hate looking at! I only show people the ones I took with my cell phone at the ceremony--not the awful ones from Evangelos! SUPER overpriced (1 digital photo for $45, which doesn't even include a printed version!), low-quality photos with zero retouching or refinement! The photographers do not seem to be professional; they just tell you to try a few poses, and you'd definitely get better photos with your own cell phone, because they will not spend any time on retouching your photos after they take them. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!! I was so disappointed after waiting so long to get my photos, only to find that even my 8-year-old nephew could have done a better job!!! I was forced by UBC to come here for my grad photo. They took a $45 cash deposit, and their shady policy requires you to go in person to reclaim your deposit within 60 days. Even if you are a few days past the deadline, they will NOT return it--even if you've already purchased their overpriced packages! This actually happened to me. Evangelos put me through months of begging to get my deposit back, even after I had paid $500 for a photo package! I was 6 days late in asking for my deposit back because I assumed they would deduct it from the package price, but they didn't. I paid online and had to go to their store several times to explain the situation. Each time, they told me their main manager wasn't there and promised to follow up via email to see if they can return my deposit--but they NEVER did. After a few in-person visits and emailing them, I called the store to follow up. A woman with an accent answered the phone and was extremely rude. She told me that because I was 6 days late for asking my deposit back, it was their policy not to return deposits, and there's nothing she can do. I explained that I just made a mistake and I was only 6 days late, had already paid them $500, and that I'm just a student in a tough financial situation. She was SO rude and patronizing, saying, "Doesn't matter; everybody here is a student, ma'am." I said this was terrible customer service and told her I would share my experience with other students. She replied, "Doesn't matter; go tell whoever you want!" I couldn't believe how rude she was. Then I went to the store the day after, and confronted them in the store in front of another customer, explaining how tired I was of all the back-and-forth, the poor service, and the stress. The staff member at the counter said she would "try her best." A day later, I finally got my deposit back, but only after months of stress, being patronized by their staff, and wasting $500 on photos I'll never show anyone!

    I was really disappointing with my UBC grad photos. I was initially excited thinking back on how…read morewell my high school grad photos turned out (different company). The backgrounds are boring and all the poses are the same (except for 2 two fun poses which where really rushed through). My boyfriend of 4 years waited an hour for my photos and the poses they put us in were so boring. I just expected more direction. I am not a model and I don't take photos of myself for fun, so I just smiled as big as I could for every photo... all 30 of them look the same... urg. so frustrated. Why am I paying 400$ for a digital copy???????????? Edit, another thing, everything was really rushed. We took the composite photos last and she didn't even warn me before taking the photos? This photo is going to be on the walls forever...a little warning would have been nice.

    Ordered a glossy 5x7 photo print online, and the print was ready the next day! Very speedy, good…read moreprice, and the print itself was beautiful and high quality, no loss in graphics. However, I did have to slightly trim down my print in order for it to fit a 5x7 photo frame I wanted to put it in, because there was a white border around half an inch thick around the main picture itself, which I did not realize increased the dimensions of the print. Other than that, very happy with my purchase!

    I had a need to print a photo before I left Bellingham on Wednesday (8/23). I live in Georgia and…read morewanted to leave a gift for my son in Bellingham; a framed image that we had taken at Artist Point over the weekend. Quicksilver is closed on Sunday and Monday, so on Tuesday morning I got up early and went downtown. I arrived at around 8:45am even though I knew that Quicksilver did not open until 10am. I wanted to be there as early as possible. I parked in the business's designated parking space behind the building and waited. At 9:57 I got out of my car and walked around the building to Quicksilver's front door. I could see people inside and I assumed it was open, so I walked in. I was immediately scolded by the woman working there. She told me I was early and that I would have to wait. She did a few little things behind the counter while I stood there. Then at some point she checked her watch (or phone) an announced that it was now 10am and asked me what I needed. I said I am from out of town and was hoping to get a photo printed prior to my departure the next morning. Wow! I barely had those words out of my mouth before the angrily exclaimed "No Way!!" She spoke to me so harshly I was taken aback. I had not even finished my question. I actually stood there speechless for a few seconds. At that point she followed up with "if you really want it today, it will be a $100 rush fee and maybe I can get it by the end of the day." Look I get it - People are busy and my priorities are not their priorities. I also understand that there is apparently no local competition in this space. But it was one photo and she did not have to be so rude. I work in a service industry and try to help people whenever I can. It actually makes me happy when I can help someone. I immediately left Bellingham, drove to Vancouver (Vancouver Photo Lab) where a very nice man printed it while I waited. I turned around, drove back to Bellingham and I was back in town by 2:00pm. I had the mat and frame ready to go and I had it finished and on his wall by by 4pm. Left the next morning for Seattle at 4:30am. I strongly don't recommend Quciksilver.
