Has anyone tried this Ilford B&W Processing service for UK?

I think this is the same full price service I tired about two years ago (sent to Ilford lab). The developing and prints were good and came back in a nice box but took about 2 weeks.

By the way, film prices on this site seem good.
 
wwow! delta3200 120-roll for GBP1.65 = euro2.37 is indeed a very good price! The cheapest i have found online in the netherlands is euro3,72.
 
Same ratio for fuji nph. You lucky islanders!

However they seem to talk a bit of BS
"35mm, 100 ASA 36 exposure - Fujicolor REALA is a truly specialist portrait film that's perfect for capturing totally natural flesh tones and colours. Designed specifically to reproduce subtle skin tone[...]Used by professional Wedding photographers for their very best work" -well, that's questionable, with the reala's high contrast and bold colours i always got.

I forgot - they ship from Jersey. No sales tax/VAT for items under £18.00 or so (25.00 euros?) They probably ship to the Netherlands.
 
The Ilford service wasn't too bad. Nice prints with white border in a good box, but a bit slow.

With regards to 7dayshop: you can buy more than £18 worth of film, they just divide the film up into £18 envelopes. I've just bought £22 worth (£18+P&P), 5 Neopan 400, 5 Neopan Acros, and they'll arrive in two envelopes.

I've used 7day since it stated it's business and I have never had any problems. The prices are right and their service good. Whatever amount of film you order they split into enough envelopes to keep the postage the same.

Tried the Ilford service. It was OK but nothing exceptional though they were only 4x6" prints. Have used Peak Imaging in Sheffield a number of times and they are very good.

Pherdinand,

Judging from my last bill it doesn't mean doube shipping...

---------------------
Sub-Total: £18.40
P&P - # Normal : £3.95
Total: £22.35
--------------------

Wait wait, i don't get it.

If i buy film worth of 18 pounds, the shipping to NL added to it, say, 7-8 pounds at least, will kill the price difference.
If i buy alot of film so that the price difference would be worth it, they will pack it in multiple packages...so, for 36 p worth of film i will have to pay 2x the shipping costs...which leads me to the same ratio of shipping cost 7-8 p per 18 p worth of film
and so on
where do i make the mistake?

No - there is a ONE OFF flat postage rate /per order to the U.K. of £3.95; It was previously only GBP 1.95 :-( Delivery can be a bit slow though.

Obviously to other countries it will be higher. But assume it is still a flat rate ......
