Will they xray my film?

[cambolt]

I live in Australia, and I'm thinking of buying 10 twin packs of Ilford HP5+ 400 from Adorama in the USA. Does anyone know if my package will be xrayed when in the post?

Thanks

I expressed my concerns to adorama and they replied with this.

Hi,

The package will be marked as photographic equipment. Also UPS uses film-safe xrays.


Thank you for shopping with us we appreciate your business.


Sincerely,

No problems so far with the five bulk purchases I have received in the post.

By comparison, one purchase that came home in a friend's luggage (from USA via commercial airlines) was damaged by x-rays.

The postal service is pretty safe.
