If mailers are too slow for you and your camera >shop has a better turn-around time, this could be an option. Yes...A very good option if you can afford it. Around here, I 36exp roll of Kodachrome costs about $10 at a camera store and almost that much to process it. Look at the cost per roll with a processing mailer from a New York camera store - it's almost a 50% savings. For that kind of money, I can afford to be patient. For a slightly differnet variation to your idea. Can you give the camera store an exposed roll of film and a mailer ? The idea is that they send both to Kodak, you get the next day turnaround but Kodak uses the mailer as credit for the processing and you don't pay the camera store anything. Seems like the best of both worlds to me. Does anyone know if this is accepted ? BTW - I've been using mailers for almost 18 years and have only lost one roll of film.
