Fromex Photo

amazing pplace and super cheap p. i have seqarched everywhere to get good price on passport photo and this guys have the best price by far

Maria is awesome! She does everything to perfection and very quick service. Thanks again and I will most definitely be coming back!

I was looking forward to giving the place a shot due to other good ratings. Unilocal usually never lets me down but the lady at the counter was pretty rude. As soon as I came in she gave a look like I was of inconvenience to her. When I asked for help about getting a passport photo done for my boards she was rude and not helpful whatsoever, making a snarty face and smirk. No thank you ! So I left.

I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for Maria. Once again she saves the day always takes my orders and gets them done with perfection and most times same day service. She’s always there with a friendly smile gives great customer service. She is the reason why I continue to go there. it’s always nice to have a local place to count on.

Printed few things from this place. Love the quality of pictures. Absolutely stunning. Service is great too ! Everyone polite and relaxed. Their website has great app that you can install on your computer and sent print directly from your pc. You can even reframe based on the picture sizing. A+ keep the good work !!!

I was in a rush to get shower invitations printed and in desperate need of a local printer, stumbled across them online and so glad I did. They printed shower invites, thank you cards and another item for me with very quick turnaround time and they looked amazing on Pearl White Linen paper. Already received compliments on the invites. Found all of their staff on the phone and in person to be great. The easy uploader was quick and easy and received emails when the jobs were done. Highly recommend them. Their printing for photos/​canvas looks amazing as well.

Had pictures of my kids taken at one of the places at the mall. I bought a package with the CD. Needed more prints for family this weekend and they wanted to charge me $ 18 a sheet! I found this place online. The order was ready in 24 hours. The prices are comparable to the drug stores (and much cheaper than the place that took the pictures) but the quality and the service is leaps and bounds above the stores. I will never use the drug stores or any other place again!

I spent 2 hours here with my fiancé trying to get our save the dates edited and printed off. I didn’t even get the guy’s name but he was so patient with us and allowed us to use Adobe Photoshop. Luckily we were able to get it the way we wanted it to. He made a few fixes and they were printed out perfectly within an hour! Thank you guys so much!

You can’t beat their service. I have been using their services for years. Great prices and great quality and great turnaround.

I’ve been a commercial photography hack for 30 years, and rarely make prints. I have a small wall in the studio for personal snapshots and I always use Fromex. Nice folks, they understand the business and always work hard to be sure my work is printed and mounted properly.
The ROES system works well, and if I (or they) have any questions, their service and attitude on the phone is excellent.
My highest recommendation.

Like a typical guy, I waited until the day before valentine’s day to remember that my someone special wanted some really nice prints of us together. So at 2pm… on the 13^th… I began searching for a place that could do good prints quick. I looked at some 1-​hour photo places like Walmart and other retailers but none could do larger 11×14 prints. I found this place through my trusty wingman through all this (Google) and went on their website. Used the ROES tool and in a matter of minutes, my order was placed. I didn’t specify «Rush» for the extra $ 5, but put a note on the order pleading my desperation for quick prints.
Not even 2 hours later, I get a confirmation Email that the order was complete … Could it be that quick? Maybe it just meant the order was completely received, processing? I was skeptical. Then my phone rings. The order was ready for pickup. I hauled-​a** over there (within legal speed limits of course) and paid a very reasonable rate and was really amazed with how great the prints look. I opted for the Fuji Pearl finish, which gave elements of the image a very professional, metallic sheen to them.
Overall, a wonderful experience. Great quality, fair pricing, super quick turnaround. And, I’m not sure if the «lady behind the counter» is the same as ones others have referenced in their reviews, but the counter person was polite, friendly, and capped off a great experience.

I took some Xmas pictures here to have them enlarged for my wife for a present. First they helped me size them on their computer and made sure everything looked right. They told me it would be a 2 day turn around which seemed good compared to a few places I called around the holidays. When I went to pick the photos up they were not ready because their printer had broke the day prior. I was a little annoyed because had driven quite a ways but figured I should have called first, and it really was not their fault the printer broke. When I came in the next day to get my pics they again apologized for the delay, and only made me pay for half of my order. I thought this was impressive because I really didn’t even complain about them not making the deadline. It seems to me they really understand what good customer service is supposed to be about. I will definely be a returning customer. The pictures came out great too!!!

The prints here are great and you can’t find a print shop in town with a faster turn around… But the lady at the front desk is AWFUL! And thats putting it politely. She is not helpful, rude and unapologetic.
I have used Fromex several times to print invitations and like I said, their turn around is great (sometimes, even same day). But no short turn around is worth the terrible front desk lady…
The straw that broke the camels back was when I recently printed a shower invitation at Fromex. When I went to pick them up, the women was more unpleasant then ever. When she finally handed me the invitations, I realized that they had been printed incorrectly (the front and back were printed different directions). I politely commented on the incorrect printing, and she responded by saying something like, «Well, thats the way you ordered them». I told her they were defiantly not ordered facing two different directions and asked her if she was the one who processed the order. She told me she was not… so how do you know that was the way if was ordered? She offered me no consolation… she didn’t even offer to reprint them.
Needless to say, I am not a fan. I would not recommend them to anyone unless its an emergency and you need something printed in less then a day. Because lets be honest if it’s an emergency… you are probably not going to be upset that they are printed upside-​down.

I needed a place to take my passport photo at, and I found this place on Unilocal.If it wasn’t for the good reviews, I’d probably wouldn’t even step foot in here. Honestly it looks pretty sketchy outside. But the workers were very nice. Customer service was great. While waiting for the woman who took my photo to fix the flash on her dslr I was looking around and I saw some pretty amazing photos that were taken. I probably wouldn’t mind getting other photos done here.

I have bounced around different photo labs in San Diego and I’m so lucky to have found Fromex Photo. I am super picky on the quality of my printing and this lab
has really made my work look exceptional. They have always been very accommodating on any of my special request in customizing my work. They offer a variety of different products including canvas gallery wraps, metal prints and press printed cards. Ron, Maria and all the Fromex staff have been very pleasant to work with and I look forward to many more years with with them.

i want to start off this review about the women who works the front desk… my god she was helpful and funny. she knew what she was talking about and was just great to talk and deal with… i am an amateur photographer and was afraid to take my pictures in for touch up but it was refreshing to have someone bright and happy to help me out.
the one downside to this place was the pricing… film processing was way more then any other place in town…$ 6.50 to scan a negative? are u kidding me… thats outrageous even if it includes the cd with the photos on them… who ever the owner is needs to learn better pricing techniques and lower them… this is a good photolab dont get me wrong but some of the prices are way way out there… so again to the owner… loosen up!

My first experience with fromex was great so I thought I would return to them with more business… Sadly today when I went in the girl was not in a good mood. She was very unhelpful and when I wasn’t sure of what size I wanted my panoramic picture to me she sighed and mad me feel like an idiot. I asked if she could show me what sizes there were and she made it seem like I was a bother. I told her I would go somewhere else since it seemed like I was bothering her and she never apologized. I will never print pictures or go into fromex ever again. Bummed that their service was so rude and unhelpful.

Excellent! Took our digital photo files in to have large movie-​type posters made for our wedding. Ron resized and manipulated them right before our eyes to get them just right. Came in later to pick up, and they were perfect! Very reasonable cost as well. GREAT overall experience.

I just found my new photo lab. Super pleasant staff, excellent professional results, and quick turnaround. Their canvas wraps are art by themselves, regardless of the print. Not very convenient to North County, but their shipping charges are reasonable – they also offer drop shipping directly to your client. I stopped in to pick up my order just so I had a chance to check the place out myself.

Don’t let their small storefront fool you– this is the top-​notch professional photo lab in San Diego. I’ve been using this particular Fromex for years. I’m a pro photographer and they’re work is among the best in San Diego, or nationally. They can process your RAW image captures, or simply make great prints or scans. They have the whole range of products from gallery canvas wraps to standout prints, metallic paper, albums or photo banners. They can mount your photos onto a thin board or onto foam core as well. The whole team at Fromex is great. Competitive prices and great custom work. They’ll do your passport photos too.
