Looks like AgX Imaging is indeed the top lab (highest quality at very low prices and excellent service) in North America for E6:
I've just talked to three of my friends in the US who are using this lab: And all are extremely satiesfied and highly recommend them.

I can confirm that:
During my time in the US I have used them lots of times, and I have been very satiesfied:
- excellent quality
- excellent service
- very fast
- very cheap (cheaper than lots of labs want for C41)
- very friendly
- completely dedicated to E6, they are real reversal film enthusiasts.
Therefore another vote for http://www.agximaging.com/ as a recommended lab for film photographers in North America.

During my two months in the UK I have used "The Darkroom" in Cheltenham.
Also a very good lab for E6. Both concerning quality and service.
Here is an insight into this lab, a very informative video report about them:

For the South Germans among you, let's add Blow Up Fotolabor, Jahnstrasse 36 in Munich to the list.
http://www.sw-foto.de

They do B&W, C41 and E6 + wet prints for 35mm and 120, possibly large format as well (I never asked, I don't do LF). I went to Blow Up after another lab did a sloppy job on some processing (scratched negs etc.) and never looked back. Blow Up Fotolabor is professional and quick.

The only thing they will not do is 127 processing. Too bad. My girlfriend had a crush on a Rollei Baby so I offered her one recently. Time to learn to process ourselves I guess 🙂

Maybe they didn’t accept 127 film a couple of years ago but they do now. I had a 127 film developed there in December 2018. Perfectly happy with their service.
 
New highest-quality lab in Germany

New highest-quality lab in Germany

Hi,
very good news for E6 users in Germany and Europe: JOBO artisan, a sister company of JOBO International (the lab-equipment manufacturer) is now also offering high-quality lab-services, including E6 processing:
- Processing with a new JOBO CPP-3 rotary processor
- always fresh chemistry for every run, no replenishment system like in roller or dip-and-dunk processors
- processes run by a very experienced photo-engineer
- very attractive prices: 6€ for 135 and 120; 3.5€ for 4x5", 14€ for 8x10"
- turnaround time three days.

Do any of you have recent (last few months) experience with any labs processing E-6 films in the United States. I have a backlog of film I would like to send out.

I've worked with Adrian Bacon's Simple Photography Services in Petaluma, Calif. for a couple of years. He does good work and absolutely phenomenal scanning for reasonable prices. There's a couple places locally that still do E6 and medium format scanning but their prices for a usable resolution are enough to put anyone off film.

One I can't vouch for personally, but am friends with the lab tech and know several clients that are happy with, is Seattle's own Shot on Film Store. They were drop-off-only, if I recall, until COVID but are happily taking mail orders now. They'll even do ECN-2 if you are still unfortunate enough to have some Seattle FilmWorks rolls lying around.
 
It's been mentioned before but I just sent some medium format and 35mm slide film to Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, KS. Got it all back very quickly, and I like both the prices and the fact they mount the 35mm slides. Can't beat the price and service.
 
What is the current situation in the US, if price is not really an issue (I'm shipping important rolls from outside the US, so relative prices gaps in processing costs are not really relevant) ?
I need the rolls uncut (and unmounted obviously)
dust, scratches, muted colors are a big no-no.
