RitzPix is a fast and easy digital printing service. They differ from traditional online photo processors by offering 1-hour photo printing. Instead of uploading photos to their web site then waiting for your prints to arrive a few days later in the mail, you can pick up your prints in a hour at one of their network of brick and mortar photo stores including Ritz Camera, Wolf Camera and many more. Their prices are competitive with most photo services and you save time and delivery fees.Due to their nature, photo gifts are not available for 1-hour service.

You can still order prints for delivery by mail with a delivery charge. NEW: Ritzpix is the first photo site to offer One Day Delivery at No Extra Cost.

Until recently the RitzPix web site was pretty basic and mainly offered photo printing. They recently updated their site and are now offering a range of features including photo gifts like mugs, calendars, photo books, puzzles, cards, CDs and other photo items. RitzPix offers a huge variety of print sizes including non-standard sized like 8x8 and 12x12, as well as really large enlargements up to 44x120 inches. Photo sharing and storage is somewhat limited. Your photos are deleted (after sending you a warning email) if you have not logged in for 6 months. The site has supplemented its somewhat limited web site Q&A section with phone and email support.

Photo Books

RitzPix now offers an array of photo books from Classic Photo Books printed in 1 Hour or delivered in 1 Day, Premium Photo Books with personalized photo hardcover, and Lay Flat books with pages that are printed on real photo paper.

Other Comments	I'd give the service 5 stars for turnaround time for its 1-hour service, but it's mail delivery for prints and gifts is rather slow. Ritzpix guarantees your 4x6 prints will be ready in 1 hour or they are free. Certain terms/conditions apply.
