Zero stars - unusable photos
If I could give zero stars, I would. Using Speed Photo was an absolute disaster from start to finish—and the way they handle customers is nothing short of disgraceful.
I went in expecting a simple, hassle-free way to get passport photos, as their marketing so confidently suggests. Instead, I paid for digital photos that were completely useless. The files I received were a pathetic 33KB, nowhere near the 50KB minimum required by passport authorities. Why offer a passport photo service if your product can't even meet the most basic technical standards? It’s laughable—if it weren’t such a blatant rip-off.
And here’s the kicker: no warning, no disclosure, nothing. They happily take your money and leave you with files that are guaranteed to be rejected. When I contacted customer service, I was met with pure arrogance and zero accountability. Their response? Blame me for not reading the fine print, instead of owning up to the fact that their service is clearly not fit for its intended purpose.
Oh, and let’s talk about their website. It flaunts high-quality, professional-looking photos that suggest you're paying for top-tier results. Spoiler alert: you’re not. What you actually get is a cheap, low-res knockoff that feels more like a bad joke than a legitimate service. False advertising at its finest.
The whole experience feels like a scam disguised as a legitimate business. Save yourself the headache and go literally anywhere else if you need proper passport photos. The product is garbage, the customer service is worse, and the way they handle complaints is downright shameful.
