Now that Labor Day has come and gone, there’s a good chance that your digital camera’s crammed full of summer vacation photos and your budget’s just about busted. If you’re a faithful reader, you know where to find the cheapest photo printing service. But what you might not know is where those cheap photos are actually printed.

The order confirmation – and the photos – were shipped from halfway around the world.
