Snappy Snaps near Bond Street screwed my two rolls. Their price and service quality vary quite a lot from branch to branch. I haven't visited there since then.

Snappy Snaps are a franchise so there is little central quality assurance. I am lucky in that Lincoln Snappy Snaps is run by film enthusiasts.

As I posted before, ask to see their C41 control strips. If they can't produce them they don't know their business.

Apart from some of the professional labs, to whom you pay extra to get a guaranteed good service, other places mentioned seem to vary from branch to branch having read threads like this on here and other forums.

Luckily for me in Southend on Sea, work produced at both of my local Asda's and Snappy Snaps has been great up to now, fingers crossed.

I think it really is a case in general of, you get what you pay for!
