I'm not a huge photography person by any means, but this is always my go-to spot when I need my film developed and scanned. They consistently do a phenomenal job and the quality of the scans has always impressed me. What really stands out is how fast their turnaround time is. It's hard to find anywhere else in the Tacoma area ore even Seattle that can process film this quickly. The price is definitely on the higher side, but the speed, reliability, and quality make it feel worth it. If you're looking for a trustworthy place to bring your film, this spot gets the job done every time.

Long story short -- if your looking to get film developed or print projects done, there are many…read morereputable online services that do a better job for a fraction of the time compared to Robi's. I submitted a roll of 35mm film at Robi's on June 18th, I did not get the digital scans back until July 12th. When I dropped it off, I was told it would take 2 weeks max because of 'staffing shortages'. Even when I was there, no one was even working in the lab that day. I should've taken that as a sign. 2 weeks passed, I gave them a call on July 3rd. Person on the phone seemed rather annoyed I was calling inquiring about my order and put me on hold for a few minutes. He came back, said he didn't see my order in queue, and to check back next week. I then get a call on July 5th telling me there's a delay in my order because... staffing shortages. You would think if they had a lot of orders in queue, that they would have the appropriate amount of staff on hand to get caught up. I mean, that's what most normal businesses do. They don't seem to care. A full week passes, and I call them again on Friday July 12th, rather annoyed. The girl on the phone couldn't even find my order at first, and had to double check with me what the name was and what date I took it in. She comes back and says it's gonna be completed that day. Finally. I receive the transfer, and I'm disappointed. Partially my fault as the photographer, some of my photos were underexposed. But there were a few photos that weren't even properly scanned and were cut off. See attached photo. I called back to see if they could re scan and send it over, they said they would look into it. That was 3 days ago, I'm not expecting a call back and don't care at this point. Unrelated to experience above, but I've also had digital prints done here in the past and have been disappointed with the quality. I get my prints with borders there was one instance where my borders were cut unevenly and were cut into the image itself. I had to ask for a reprint. The prices here for prints aren't even competitive compared to others, and I feel they are overpriced for what you get. I tried to give it one more shot, but I wont ever do business with Robi's again. It's a shame they are one of the only camera/print/film developing businesses around the south sound, but at this point I'll do business with online vendors that have a more reasonable turn around time and better quality (ex. TheDarkRoom, iPrintfromHome.com, etc.)
