Most free-shipping coupon codes apply only to economy shipping (6 to 10 business days). If you need your items sooner, Shutterfly occasionally offers a free upgrade to expedited shipping (4 to 5 business days). This means you’ll pay for economy shipping but receive expedited shipping.
To get this upgrade, you’ll typically need to enter a promo code, which you can find on Shutterfly’s promotions page.
5. Connect your Costco account
Great news for Costco members, the warehouse retailer has partnered with Shutterfly, and the perks are pretty sweet. In addition to a discount of 51% off all regularly-priced Shutterfly orders, Costco members can also get free shipping on all Shutterfly orders of $49 or more! If you aren’t a Costco member, you can find more details here.
6. Pick Up Your Photo Prints at CVS or Walgreens
Order 4×6 glossy prints and select the “1-hour pickup” option to avoid shipping charges by picking up your photos at your nearest Walgreens or CVS. You’ll receive an email notification when your order is ready.
Please note that Shutterfly discounts and free-print offers do not apply to this option, and larger orders may take longer than an hour to process.
You can pick up qualifying 4×6 glossy prints at a participating Walgreens or CVS store in as little as an hour by following these steps:
1. Add your prints to your cart and click “Proceed to Checkout.”
2. Select the “1-hour pick up available” option.
3. Enter your address or zip code to find your local CVS or Walgreens store.
4. Once you’ve selected your store, enter your first name, last name, and phone number, then click “Pick Up Here.”
5. Click “Place Order.” Print out the order confirmation page and bring it with you when picking up your prints.
6. Check your email for a notification that your order is ready for pickup. Payment is due at the store when you pick up your prints.
