Kinzin Photobooks - Good Quality and Easy to Use

I recently ordered a photobook from Kinzin.com after a friend sent me a promo code for 25% off my photobook.

Anyway, let's start with the actual site itself. I found their photo-sharing site to be very easy to use and registration was incredibly easy. I also found the photo sharing was pretty helpful as I was able to invite my brothers and sister to look online at my photobook to get their approval (this is for my mom for Mother's Day) before I clicked order. It turns out that the site allows for people to create groups which means I can upload family photos in one folder, and then invite all my siblings to not only look at them online but they will also have access to ordering photos or calendars or prints of those pictures. I never experienced another site doing that but at the same time, I'm quite new to ordering online. Regardless of my inexperience, it was relatively easy for me to use Kinzin and design a photobook.

Now on to the actual photobook itself. I was really happy with the quality of the book! Okay, to be fair, I've only ordered one other photobook prior to Kinzin's (other one was from Blacks Photography but I was not happy with it as the colour was quite dull) but compared to the other photobook, the quality of this one was much nicer. The pictures were crisp and the cover was quite sturdy. I also appreciated how they allowed me to really design my book's layout to almost exactly the way I want it.

One last thing: I appreciated the shipping cost. Normally I don't like ordering things online because I find that the shipping is usually exorbitant but Kinzin actually offers a flat rate of $3.99 anywhere in North America. Needless to say, I didn't only order a photobook as I also ordered some prints (but this is a review about their photobooks and not prints so I will reserve my comments on that).

Overall, I think that the quality of Kinzin's photobooks is quite good. The prices are comparable to other online photo print stores but the ease of their website and the ability to share photos with other people are added bonuses.
