Good app
Pros: It’s so hard to find mini square prints for a reasonable price and they are super cute! The paper that the pictures are printed on is like a heavy card stock so it is pretty durable. The app itself is easy to use and they offer plenty of options. You are able to crop, and choose if you want a boarder around the pictures. I received the pictures in a reasonable amount of time, a little faster than I expected.
Cons: Shipping is super expensive ( $8-$15) but since the prints are so cheep it evens out in my opinion (that’s where they get you). The prints are on a matte paper, which I’m not super fond of because if your pictures are a little blurry it is more exaggerated on the paper. Just make sure the pictures are really good quality.
Overall I’m happy with this company based on the price. I’ve ordered probably well over 100 mini prints! I’ve only ever gotten the mini square prints. Definitely worth a shot!

Great gift idea
I explored many platforms prior to ordering my photo book. The Parabo Press interface was almost perfect (there is some room for improvement, but it’s the best of all the others I tried). It’s a good balance of ease of use and robust customization. I found myself editing and re-editing my photo choices and layouts until I finally had the perfect photo book which captured our family vacation at the beach. The price was fair and when it showed up, it was better than I expected. I am planning on ordering more.

Quaint & clean pictures
My friends and I only order all of our prints from Parabo. They have unique sizes and styles to choose from and look almost antique-ish. I love the quality and get compliments on them whenever I have people visit me in my office or friends see them hanging in my room! Their customer service team is also extremely accommodating and responsive, always willing to make your life easier if you run into any problems. Highly recommend Parabo to anyone looking to ditch Walgreens and go with a clean, simple way to display your pics! :)

Never sent pictures
If I could leave zero stars, I would, but 1 star is the lowest I can go. On July 25th I ordered some pictures for a surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary party we were planning for our parents. We loved the idea of re-printing photos from their wedding album with a white border and have the “vintage” feel. Well, order was placed, CC charged, but the party came and went (August 16) and pictures were never delivered. When contacting their customer supported, they stated they were shipped and I should have already received them and perhaps I should check with a neighbor to see if they revived them by mistake. Here it is Aug 26, and still no pictures. I had to order locally from a 1hour photo shop to have for our surprise party. I could not and will recommend Parabo Press to anyone.

Product over process
I will start by saying I’ve used Parabo loyally for a few years. I have gotten a variety of prints and have always been thrilled with the products received. That said, there have been bumps in the road. While the prices have increased, the shipping issues have as well. Once, my order was simply and completely just lost and had to be reprinted and re-sent. Those were for “free” prints so no biggie, I just had to jump through hoops with customer service. Now, however, after paying a bit extra for shipping, I’m tracking a (several days) late package with no real location info available. It just seems to me that if you can’t make firmer promises on shipping, you should offer only one type - slow. I’m sure I’ll love my engineer print when it arrives as our current one has been the centerpiece of our living room for two years, but I feel like this app lacks the ease of “order and forget about it til it shows up on your doorstep.”
