One thing to note is that by default, they will send you a check if your balance is over $200. But they also mention that if your balance is less than $200, you can still make a request for a check to be sent to your address.

By the way, there's a typo in this article: “since it’s takes the pain…” should be “since it takes the pain…”

Cheers,

Fotomoto does work well, there are still some kinks to work out while it's in Beta – such as credit card processing (it's paypal only at the moment) – but I'm impressed with the functionality.

It's worth mentioning that they currently use Bay Photo in California for prints, and they are a very respectable lab.
