Too bad they are not convenient for you. You can get low priced, or free
snacks while waiting.
However, they do mail order and use a photo processor. I don't think
they use archival inks, so don't count on a 400 year life for your
prints. You can also download the profiles and specify the machine they
are to print on. I think they have a very reasonable satisfaction policy.
