used DS Colorlabs in the past when I was a professional photographer and I was very happy to see I can still order from them. I have prints from 15 years ago that still look pristine. I will continue to use this lab for my personal images

Best I’ve Found
I’ve tried a lot of film developer and scanner services and these guys always produce the best, sharpest result. Highly recommend. Actually the fastest too, usually.

Generally the service was great the only gripe is that i selected a size for a collage that the store did not have a frame for so I had to go to a separate framers to get the collage framed, It would be helpful if the website actually made a point of letting a customer know before the order is made that the store didn't do frames in that size

Hi Richard, thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear you were happy with the overall service, although we understand the frustration of finding out that the size you selected wasn't available for framing in-store. That's useful feedback, and we'll pass your suggestion on to the team to see how we can make the framing options clearer on the website before an order is placed. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Great print and smashing quality
Great print and smashing quality. Pic has been framed and placed in the Fleewood Hesketh sports and social club. A wonderful aerial shot on a smashing luster paper.
First class service all round.

Speediest delivery ever!!
I never leave reviews but just had to for this company! Panic ordered 2 photos to honour loved ones that have passed at an up coming family event this weekend and they have just arrived less than 24 hours after ordering!! I did pay the more expensive shipping in hopes they would arrive in time but I don’t think even Amazon deliver to me in less than 24 hours!! So so impressed!! Photos are great too! Thank you!

Sent film for processing and scanning - received nothing back and no replies to emails - but see update
I ordered and paid for processing and scanning and received an emailed order confirmation, then posted the film by Royal Mail first class. When I hadn’t heard anything after 9 days, I emailed to check. No reply. Then another mail after two more days. No reply. Fortunately this was nothing important, just some test shots, but I’ll never use DS Colourlabs again and warn everyone else not to!
OK, fair's fair. My scans arrived three days after I wrote this review, and they were fine, but it took a total of 16 days and there was still no reactions to any of my emails. So I'll give them one more star but still not recommend them.
BTW, not that it has anything to do with DS Colour Labs, but these were tests to compare one of the best film out there - Fuji Velvia 50 - with digital, using same Nikon lens. Digital won by a country mile, not surprisingly, plus I had finished, edited files ready 16 minutes after exposure, not 16 DAYS! And at zero cost compared to a total of nearly 60 quid for film, processing and postage of ONE film!
