The new site, according to a joint press release, will allow Walgreens customers to use Snapfish’s tools for online photo ordering, sharing and storage. Walgreens added that they were rolling out, on a market-by-market basis, the ability to upload photos to the site and later pick up the prints at a store of their choice in as little as an hour. It is expected this pick up service will be in all of Walgreens’ stores by September.

A mail delivery option for the photos which have been uploaded is available as well.
