Print photos online

Digital cameras have replaced film cameras. We send photos by e-mail, upload them to photo hosting for family and friends. But there were still people who did not have a computer and no Internet. These are our grandparents. Yes, and sometimes we ourselves want to have a paper version of a successful photo. For many years I print photos several times a year using DotPhoto , Winkflash and, occasionally, Snapfish. It’s very convenient: I upload a photo using Google Picassa or ftp to a photo-sharing-printing service, I choose the sizes, number of photos and pay with a credit card. In a few days - a maximum of a week I get a package with printed photos in the mail. Every year, at the beginning of December, I or my wife select from the mountain of files those several dozens - the most successful in the last 3-4 months. For the grandmother. More truly, great-grandmothers. Having received an envelope with photos, I quickly repack it, fill out a bunch of pieces of paper for customs and run to the post office to send the parcel to Russia. This pleasure is not expensive and from the price of 9 cents per photo (about 2 rubles. 65 kopecks), the price of each photo increases to about 35 cents (about 10 rubles. 30 kopecks) - and this is a 4-fold increase in price and, basically, due to shipping from USA to Russia.

In the courtyard there is a crisis and, therefore, in this last year I decided to try to take advantage of Internet capabilities and print photos with the help of a Russian photo service. A quick Google search showed me a few: fotki.mail.ru, foto.yandex.ru and a couple more. The price of photographs (3 rubles. 50 kopecks in translation into dollars turned out to be 12-14 cents). Sending or delivering photos to your home is not expensive. I decided to try it. Faced one problem: you can pay for printing photos either through webmoney, yandex. Money and other similar services, or upon receipt by mail. One service that I found in Google accepted credit cards, but since 2007 it’s already in read only. A couple more looked somehow very artisanal.

Actually the question: do you know the services for printing photos with forwarding in Russia (namely, the city of Kursk), which accepts payment by credit card?
