Processing K-40 through Wal-Mart.

[miguelito]

You're right Matt, I should probably skip the
whole Wal-Mart thing all together now that
this has happened twice.

Where can I get the pk-59 mailers?

I think a thread of a few weeks back listed two places that still offer the mailers. Take a peek and I'm sure you'll find it. When I have something to send I think I'll try the mailers too. 300 rolls without a hitch is a good track record!

How much did it cost you to have the mailers sent to you by B&h, plus...how much postage did you apply to the mailer.
$5.59 plus shipping and postage = ?

Im dropping of a roll this week Miguel, hopefully this won't be a wide spread thing, should have it back by the end of next week, let you know the results then.

I picked up a roll of PROCESSED K-40 tonight
at Wal-Mart!! I was completly surprised when
I called to see if my last roll I had sent
in last week was back from the outlab and I
was told that it was in and that it was $4.88
When I got to Wal-Mart, I could'nt believe
that it was actually processed and not just
returned with a sticker stating "service unavaiable". Now this is really wierd. I don't know if I really want to send in another roll through Wal-Mart again.

What do you guys think??

What do you guys think??

That Wal-Mart's right hand doesn't know what it's left hand sends out!

Typical crappy company bureaucracy...

I have sent at least two dozen rolls of either super8 K40 or Reg8 25 through Walmart without a problem. I did send a roll of Plus-X B&W once and got the Fuji lab note saying they didnt offer processing service for that type of film. I figured it was just because it was Plus-X. I just sent four rolls of K25 reg.8 off yesterday, so I'll let you know what the results are in about a week. I hope this isn't going to be a trend at all Walmarts. To date all I have had to do is tell them that is a send off. I happen to know the clerk there personally so maybe that helps.

I picked up my films from Walmart yesterday. Eleven days doesn't seem bad condsidering the holiday etc... All four rolls of K25 came out crisp and beautiful. No problems from my local Walmart at all.

I just shipped out 2 rolls of K40 to Walmart Monday, I didn't use the mailers because there is at least a $5 shipping charge for and order of mailers. Not bad if you are buying 10 or more, but for just 2 rolls that increases price and waiting time. I wish I had the money to go out an order a huge bunch of mailers, but if Walmart sends to Dwaynes, I have only had good results, and never heard anyone else have probelsm with them either.
