Bad picture collage
I received a Mother's day gift with picture of my children with their heads cut off. As a company why would you not get a hold of the consumer and question if the picture was cut off? My kids were very upset and I'm wondering if it can be exchanged for one that doesn't have their heads cut off?!
User's recommendation: Replace it 2800****.

I ordered 40 photos in 4x6 size. The final bill was $3.60, and I had to wait until checkout to see the shipping price. The shipping was called "Expedited Priority Mail Shipping" and cost $8.00. Although the shipping price was high, I ordered anyway. I never received...

Winkflash Account Review
I was a huge fan of Winkflash, uploaded ALL of my pictures there and now I can't access them... Years worth of photos just gone... I have used them for years for photo storage... I loved ordering photos from them and the photo ok's are amazing. But the service is pointless if it randomly deletes your account and photos...

Winkflash lost a decade's worth of photos
Winkflash's original owner bailed and a new owner stepped in to take things over but the original owner only gave the new owner a short time to download pictures before they took the servers down completely and people like myself have to suffer because I used them as my main repository of photos for a decade and as irony would have it I had a main photo storage drive fail right before I found out about Winkflash's demise and new owner. While I'm understanding - the new owner could not help what the original owner did to people like myself that have 100% lost photos that can't be recovered - I won't do business with the new Winkflash because of my fears now. Lesson: If you're not backing up 100% of your photos in multiple locations, eventually - you're going to lose them. Period.

Here is what they told me..We would first like to offer our sincere apologies. As you may know, in August 2014 the previous Winkflash owners shut down their website and went suddenly out of business. Overnight their entire operation was completely down and there was no...

This is the first review I have ever written, but feel compelled to write it down because of winkflash's poor customer service. I made a picture book that took me hours to make since I needed a chinese friend to help me write notes in Chinese. We got it done and...

I just discovered they lost all of the pictures we took of my daughter's first few years of life. I think we have some of them printed but everything else is irretrievably lost. I'm devastated. We'd had pics backed up on both a computer (that got infected with...

- That they were not reliable and lost all of my photos

Lost over 400 pictures when first owners suddenly (and quietly) went bankrupt, without warning customers that ALL customers' pics were being trashed!!

They also cannot be contacted by phone. Lose orders and cancel orders.
I have had big orders lost in tube mail. Last order took 6 weeks to arrive. Winkflash needs to have a phone number where they can be contacted. Costumer service is awful.
As you saypostage rates are ridiculous.
Picture quality isn't the same anymore. Old site was much easier to use as well.

Lost years of pictures as well
I've had a Winkflash account for years, I went to log in last week and was unable. After trying several times my email address wasn't recognized. I finally emailed customer serverice, who responded that the company just closed down over night last August, I never received any notification. How could a company close down & another operation get to reopen with same name and logo's. There was no notification to the consumer's. Somebody should be held liable. We had 1000's of picture on this site. All our family memories just gone, my wife and I are devasted. There should be some way to hold them liable to all the harm that has been caused.
