I do love Flickr. But I don’t like their prints, finding them to be really washed out and disappointing. However, I like SmugMug’s prints but didn’t want to go to the trouble of downloading all my Flickr pics and then uploading them to SmugMug.
Enter SmuggLr, a Firefox extension that promises:
Photo migration from flickr, ImageStation or PhotoSite to Smugmug with an easy to use wizard.
I was skeptical. The term “wizard” conjured up memories of Microsoft applications that papered over their complexity and poor usability with “wizards” that inevitably left one frustrated.
However, this is one “wizard” that really is a Merlin. I let SmuggLr do its magic and, over the course of a couple hours, it migrated 1,510 of my photos in 48 galleries from Flickr to SmugMug. And it kept all my galleries together, along with my captions and exif data. Brilliant!

http://www.pixamo.com has an importing tool that will bring your photos to their site from like 13 or 14 other sites- I’ve only tried their print service twice, but the quality of the prints was great both times.

[...] Now comes the good part, if you use firefox there is a plugin called SmugglR made by David Perry, meaning your pain of moving pictures just got tons easier. To top it off, SmugMug is offering a 50% price reduction for Flickr refugee’s that is also worth checking out, the key word on sign up to get the discount, flickr.
