The problem with ordering from Freestyle is that shipping to Mexico City is 50 bucks and then one still may have to deal with Mexican customs, which is, let's say, not very predictable.
Last time I ordered film I made the (grave) mistake to include one C-41 powder kit because I wanted to try to develop color negative film at home. I could not find the small kits for sale anywhere locally. Customs went nuts over the chemicals. Nobody at Customs knows what film chemicals are anymore, it seems. Took me weeks to get them to let the shipment through.
So I do order at freestyle, but I keep looking for local distributors.
Now that we've found a few more people in Mexico (City), we may try to organize group orders, which would bring the shipping costs down to reasonable levels.

Can't get 220 Portra 400 in the US right now. Sigh.
