    Customer service was amazing, they were very quick, and honest. The price is good and they have one of the kind camera that we are looking for

    I gave this place a try to have some film developed and unfortunately I ended up with extremely low quality scans which resulted in low quality prints and even someone else's photos being sent to me. Digital scans were less than 1mb with a resolution of 1545x1024, pixels per inch is just 72. (Most development labs use a standard of 3130x2075) I brought up the issue and was told "that doesn't sound right, let me send it again" and "we will send you the TIFF files" I received TIFF files that were actually someone else's photos. I tried to reach out to ask for a refund for the just the development $20 x5 rolls and was denied. Extremely disappointed and would recommend to anyone to avoid this place and have your film developed elsewhere.

    Do they buy cameras?

    Truth be told....I write this with a bit of a tear in my eye....not to get too melodramatic over a…read moreyelp review....but pictures...when done perfect and if your in a particular sentimental mood....can have that effect. Some backstory...Imagix/Michelle has done our yearly photos for our son from ages 1 to now 5. (See my past reviews). From somehow capturing a perfect moment from our perpetually moving blur of a son (ages 1-3) to patiently instructing four 70/80 year olds on how to hold their aforementioned 4 year old Tasmanian Devil grandson last year, Michelle is a magician/artist...I always leave the photoshoot stressed from the chaos Hurricane Daniel (our son) leaves in his wake....But every year we come back to look at the proofs and are amazed at Michelle ability to capture "lighting in a bottle" . This year was no different. Fortunately we survived the terrible 2's (...3's....4's....) and thanks to time, maturity, and the opposite of gentle parenting, our little Daniel, though far from perfect, is manageable. But we didn't want to make it too easy for Michelle, so we threw in another variable. After a recent canine cancer scare, and recently learning from Google that all dogs, however loyal and cute, unfortunately have an inescapable life, span, I somehow convinced my beautiful but camera shy wife that this is the year we do a family photo with our dog. Some more backstory, if you read this far, our Yorkie, Libby, loves us but HATES the rest of the world. She spent the entire hour photoshoot in perpetual scowl and Volume 11 non stop bark. One week later as she always does, lighting in a bottle perfection. I looked at the proofs with amazement. Our son, we expected....she's done it every year, but how she made a loud perpetual yapping bark into a impossibly cute smile is above my skill set. But I think her greatest feat is how she lessened the "he must be rich" looks gap between my wife and I. My wife is easy, even me with my amateur Android skills, it's hard for her to take a bad picture. Michelle mastery came with how she elevated me to "he must be funny" looks gap level. So why the tear? We loved one of the pics so much we purchased a large framed canvas print to hang on our living room wall. My 85 year old happened to be in town for his grandsons 5th bday so I asked him for an helping hand hanging the picture. I figured he has these family portrait hanging at my childhood home. My brother and I with our full head of hair and my mom shoulder pads captured the 90's to a tee...but what I always remember is the "proud" look my dad had on his face. A look of accomplishment shouting "look at me world and all that I love and created". Watching my aging dad struggle, listing to my aging dog bark in a locked room to protect my dad's ankles, I was suddenly reminded that time, as much as you want to hit pause, always moves forward. It's a good idea to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, look at the snapshot/memories/moments and take it all in. After my dad handed me the leveler and I put away the hammer, and I looked up....and yeah....I had that "Dad" look

    I went here to take my passport photo and had a really good experience. The owner was so kind and…read moremade me feel comfortable right away, which I really appreciated. They were also very professional and made sure everything looked right for the requirements. The whole process was quick and easy, and the photo turned out great.

    I cannot say enough amazing things about this photo restoration studio. I first came here to…read morerestore some foundational family photos for my mom's 80th birthday, and the results were beyond anything I could have hoped for. The images that are part of our family's legacy were brought back to life with such care and beauty. I loved the work so much that I came back again to have a childhood photo restored for 11 of my aunts and uncles as a birthday gift. What he does is truly artistry. He takes his time, pours his heart and soul into every image, and you can feel how much he genuinely cares about the stories behind the photos. In a world where so much is done quickly with AI, he is one of the rare artists still doing this work with incredible skill, patience, and heart. There is something almost spiritual about walking into this place and trusting someone with your most precious family memories. This will be the only place I trust with our valuable family photos. Truly exceptional work.

The quality of their work is consistently fantastic. John clearly pays attention to the little details, the scans always come back looking beautiful, and I trust them completely with my film rolls with a process that I can't redo or recreate, precious moments. On top of that, their turnaround time is incredibly fast; they get them over to you the day of (as long as you get it to them before 3pm that day), or the next day. I've tried several other labs over the years, but I always end up coming back to this one. There's a reason they've become my go-to, even from halfway across the country. If you're looking for a film lab that combines exceptional quality, reliability, and fast service, I can't recommend them enough. Thank you John!

Unlike a full service store I was able to explore the selection with out a sales person wanting to assist me. When I was ready for assistance I approached a staff who was able to answer my questions and process my purchase. I saved a considerable amount compared to a full service location. I was able to have delivery and hull away added. This building was once a Gemco then Lucky's and Staters . It is bare bones nothing fancy here. Plenty of parking . Clean restrooms I recommend this location.

    Open for almost a year in Bellflower, this Best Buy Outlet is one of twenty-four across the…read morecountry, including only three in all of California. It consolidates all of the returns and open boxes for the many Best Buys in the area into one big open warehouse area, allowing consumers to actually have choices for product if they are willing to purchase 'used'. I really appreciate the concept, and ended up making purchases on the first trip (which is rare for me). Many of us are used to seeing 'used' merchandise heavily discounted at Best Buy once in a while. These are items that have been removed from their factory packaging, either to be used as demos or to be installed at a consumer's home. Instead of sending returned items back to the manufacturer, Best Buy will sometimes try to sell them as 'open', at heavily discounted prices. Like most good retailers, Best Buy has gotten really good at sharing accurate on-hand inventory data to their consumers. One can check what inventory is at what location, even for an outlet. My wife has been wanting a certain refrigerator/freezer pair when we remodeled our kitchen, so when she discovered many of them were marked as available in the (somewhat) nearby outlet, we decided to make a visit. The building is clearly marked as a 'Best Buy OUTLET', and had plenty of parking. Once you enter, you recognize it as a big open space, with appliances just scattered around. Different appliances groupings are put together, but within that group, they are scattered with no clear system (e.g. different brands can be far apart, and the same exact refrigerator model can be three or four different places). By far the largest grouping was for refrigerators and washer/dryers (almost 1/2 of the space). We were looking for a particular induction stove as well, but they didn't have any. They do sell TVs, but didn't find many. There are a few friendly associates to help, but the expectation is that you know what you want. So questions are mainly around finding the inventory. It was also made clear that what you saw, was what you get...so any missing shelves or accessories would not be replaced. It actually produced almost an auction type of effect, where one could contemplate things like 'there is a missing shelf...is it worth the extra $100 for a complete unit, or can we just order the shelf separately'. It's definitely the opposite of going to an appliance superstore, where the folks work on commission. This is one example where doing research on-line is expected but making the final purchase requires a visual inspection, especially since the different prices depend on it. We were lucky to find many returned items for the products we wanted, so were able to inspect quite a few of them. The prices varied greatly, from 35% to almost 50% for a couple. The associate mentioned that there is no clear reason why one unit might be quite a bit more marked...it could be because of condition, but also how long it has been sitting around (we noticed that for our refrigerator, there were different year models available, with the older model being more discounted). They do delivery here to a localized area, for a flat $100 (no matter how many products you purchase). You check out like any other best buy, and had a little issue with my credit card to get past the fraud detection (best buys are a popular retailer for credit card thieves). To make sure you are getting the exact unit that you want, the associate will walk back with you to mark the unit (and also to make sure another customer won't claim it). The unit is moved to a warehouse, from where it will be stored until day of delivery. It is very similar to other Best Buys, in that the associates will push their credit card, extended warranty, and paid loyalty program. Much of their return policy is the same. One difference is that the manufacturers warranty can be different for open box items, and I was told I needed to call them directly about it (which I will do). So definitely some risk there, but imo worth it to save quite a bit of money. Update on 6/20/2025: Contacted Frigidaire directly, and after a consultation with their legal, notified me that their manufacturer's warranty is not valid for open-box items. That's a game changer, and I think Best Buy is being a bit deceitful here, in just stating that you have to contact a store associate, who then either states incorrectly that it is covered, or more accurately stating that you need to contact the manufacturer. Makes perfect sense if buying from a store like Big Lots...but not best buy. But even with the warranty, we still saved money...so 3 stars it is.
