WHAT IS THE BLACK'S DIFFERENCE?
Unlike other “photofinishers,” Black's specializes in photography - and only photography.

You don't go to a supermarket to get your car repaired. You don't buy designer clothes from a plumber. So why would you consider getting your pictures developed someplace like a pharmacy or department store?

We’ve always believed in doing one thing extremely well, not many things mediocre. So when you bring your one-of-a-kind memories to us for printing, you'll benefit from our years of experience as Canada's premier photofinisher. In addition to photofinishing, we also sell high-quality and competitively-priced cameras and photographic equipment.

The final and most crucial element in the Black's difference is our knowledgeable Associates. All of our employees are fully trained and always ready to answer questions and assist you with all your photography needs.

WHAT IS BLACK'S "PRICE PROTECTION" GUARANTEE?
When you buy a camera from Black’s, we'll match the price and refund the difference immediately if you see a lower advertised price from us or any competitor within 60 days of your camera purchase - guaranteed.*

WHAT IS BLACK'S "LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT" RETURN POLICY?
Choosing a new camera is a big decision, and a big purchase. So, if you aren’t fully satisfied with your new camera choice, simply exchange or return it for a full refund within 15 days – hassle free.

ARE BLACK’S PRINTS AS GOOD AS I HEAR THEY ARE?
In one word, absolutely.

At Black’s, our knowledgeable, fully-trained Associates use the most technologically current photofinishing equipment available to give you crisp, clear, vivid prints every time.

And with Black’s photo guarantee, if you’re ever unhappy with an order, we’ll reprint it – at no cost to you. It’s further proof that we stand behind the great quality of our prints.

CAN I DO MORE WITH MY PHOTOGRAPHS?
Black's offers a wide range of unique and customizable photo gift solutions called Black's Memorables. Our assortment includes enlargements of various sizes and finishes, PhotoBooks, T-Shirts, Photo Blankets, Mugs, Greeting Cards and Invitations, Candles, and much more.

With Black’s Memorables, you can do more with your favourite memories than ever before. Order them in-store or online. They make perfect, unique gifts for the holidays, birthdays, or any other occasion.

WHAT IS DIRECT TO STORE (DTS)?
With Black’s DTS service, you can order prints from your home, office or anywhere else you’re connected to the internet, and pick them up in as little as one hour at any Black’s store across Canada. Our DTS service is also a great way to order prints for your friends, colleagues, and family members both near and far. Simply submit your order, chose a delivery store close to your loved one, and have them pick up the order. When using the DTS service, you also have the option of pre-paying for prints online.

I'M GETTING MARRIED. WHAT KIND OF SERVICES DOES BLACK'S OFFER?
Black's has a variety of unique wedding offerings perfect for every happy couple. Using your favourite photographs, we can help you make invitations, thank-you cards, place cards, and custom wine and beer bottle labels. They’re a great way to make your special day even more special, for less than the cost of traditional embossed wedding stationery. Visit us in-store to learn more.

I'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF DIGITAL PICTURES ON MY HARD DRIVE. WHAT CAN I DO WITH THEM?
If you own a digital camera, you likely also own a computer with a hard drive full of precious memories that could be accidentally deleted. For future retrieval, and for safe keeping, you can easily transfer your digital images to a CD or DVD.

While you’re scanning through the files on your hard drive, you can select favourite images then have them printed for use in frames or photo albums. After all, it's much more personal to hold your memories in your hands then look at them on a computer screen. To process your images, simply upload your digital images to the Black's Online Photo Centre or bring your PhotoCD or DVD to any Black's store.

CAN I GET A PRECIOUS OLD PHOTOGRAPH RESTORED?
To restore valuable older or damaged photographs, Black's offers a premium photo restoration service. We scan your original photographs and repair and retouch them using professional digital imaging software. Other retailers only scan your pictures without repairing the damage. The result is merely a copy of the picture in your hands. Our Black's experts will work to recreate the picture as it appeared when it was originally taken.

WHAT CAMERAS ARE AVAILABLE AT BLACK'S?
Black's sells a wide variety of cameras, in all price ranges, to meet the diverse needs of our customers. We work carefully to find the best-quality cameras that offer all the features you want, at a competitive price.

BLACK'S PROMISES THE BEST VALUE IN CAMERAS. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
If you compare Black's prices to those of other leading retailers, you'll find that our prices are the same – if not lower - across the board. Often, when you see cameras advertised for less elsewhere, it’s because they’re discontinued models that have fewer features and lower resolutions than current cameras.

*Must be identical new item with Canadian warranty and price must be verifiable. Verifiable price is Canadian dollars and the net price does not include mail-in rebates or gift certificates. Does not apply to advertising errors, misprints, limited quantities, timed specials, bankruptcies, refurbished products or clear-outs. Requires original receipt from Black's. On-line offers are honoured only if the retailer on the web has a retail store in Canada and the identical item is available in-store. We will then match the price as long as it meets all other criteria. The on-line price must include all shipping and handling charges as well as delivery costs.
