After looking around the site for a while, I found they offer evaluation prints (like most quality labs do) for a shipping price of $7. Not a bad deal considering they send you your five 8x10 prints uncorrected for color and both in glossy and matte. However, they also send you their color corrected versions in the same glossy and matte papers!! That's 20 samples!! Ok, $7, no problem! I sent the files on the 5th and received them back today, the 7th.
Two days later (just like WHCC), I received my package and I think I'm in love. Below are some pics I snapped with my camera phone to show the package. It's quality packaging too. I'll give my score of each below the photos.
Packaged safe and sound! Rating: 10
Blurry pic but you can see the padding. Rating: 10
Separated for easy review. Rating 8.5 because of the brown paper bag. I don't know if this is how all the prints will come though.
A little hard to see, but the file name and copyright are printed on the back. Custom text is available at NO additional cost. Rating 10
Now, when I compared the color corrected prints to my uncorrected prints, I was very very happy. The only "real" correction is they removed some magenta tonality in the skin tones. On some of the prints it was more noticeable and desired, on others, not so much. In my opinion, I could easily predict what kind of print I would receive if I go with them.
All in all, this company is a winner with me.
Two other things that make this company a real consideration for my business... 1. They have album design capability right inside their ROES program! Big plus!! 2. They currently have a sale going on for prints larger than 11x14 through October!
I hope this help you in your business. Drop me a line if you end up using them and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the information AJ. I will check out this company. I find that your posts are always relevant to my business, not the usual fluff. Thanks again.
