Tips & Warnings
Picking your Flickr prints up at Target is a very convenient option, assuming you have one in your neighborhood. However, many of the print sizes available from Flickr cannot be printed at Target and must be delivered in the mail. When you are making your print selections, the Flickr website will let you know if your prints are available for pick-up printing or only through the mail.
