The service does look good, but I don't think it's a fair test to evaluate a service on the basis of three free samples. I think that any company would know that the first samples are particularly important in securing new customers. I liken it to the product samples supplied to potential buyers - they get the most QC attention possible to make sure the potential client will place orders.

That said, no company can operate and secure repeat orders (or keep an online reputation) if their product is bad, so there's no reason why the later samples wouldn't be good but if I were boss, I'd make sure those initial samples were good so I could get a return on my effort.

The other thing I'd say is that commercial companies requiring cut outs may not be quite so exacting for individual product shots as somone wanting a cut-out for an individual picture.

Thanks for the report though - interesting to know.
