It cost me quite a bit of money on toll phone calls to Executive Photo to clear up a mess created by their sending my order to a non-existant address. Even with the help of New York's Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General's office, I still ended up with a loss of about $50. This occurred several years ago, but I have heard even worse stories from friends. Local photo stores may be a bit more expensive, but the added expense more than compensates for the headache of dealing with the sleazy management of the discount places.
