Film Developing - How to order
Please note, this is important!
When sending films to us in the post, please make sure to include the correct amount of postage on your parcel.
Most film parcels will need to be taken to the post office and need to go as a large letter or small parcel. A single first class stamp will not suffice!
If there is not enough postage on your parcel, it goes to Royal Mail, and we receive a notice to pay for the additional postage, resulting in a delay for your order.
No one wants that!
