Bulk Tri-X or HP5+ shipped overseas

[mascarenhas]

Hi everyone,

Where can I buy a bulk roll of Tri-X or HP5+ and have it shipped to Brazil? A 100' roll of Tri-X around here is around $100, and 36 exp. rolls are going for $7, very expensive. I prefer bulk rolls as they are cheaper and let me choose how many exps to put on each spool.

Best regards.

Doesn't B&H ship to Brazil?

or are the import costs too much?

Have you tried looking at B&H in New York?

B&H is my last choice, as they really go overboard on shipping. I don't know which courier they use, but the cheapest, and really slow, 3-6 weeks, is $34, for a measly 100' roll of film! This is enough to ship the roll via USPS EMS, which usually takes a week or less. Will still be cheaper than buying locally, though...

Do you know of anyone in the USA, who can make a purchase for you and ship it too you?

Oh, BTW, Adorama is just as bad, the only option they offer is UPS Worldwide Express for $62 (and I absolutely *despise* UPS, I have been burned twice already by them).

Well, I will be spending a couple weeks in the US on september, worst case I will make do with the C41 rolls I have and the local $7.5 a roll TX until then...

Drag. UPS shipping from B&H is incredibly cheap & fast in-country, but then it seems most any shipping out of the US is getting expensive.

Hmm, I am checking freestylephoto.biz, seems like it has around $23 express shipping. Great selection, too!

I've just ordered some Neopan 400 from Megaperls. Very reasonable postage charges.

Thanks for the answers. I ordered a roll from freestylephoto (as well as diafine 🙂 ).
