    Im not sure what to do Im in a band that has been touring all over europe and ive shot 32 rolls of kodachrome. Do you think things will get mixed up if i sent my film to switzerland directly and wrote a note in it for where i need it sent to my house in the USA. ANy suggestions on what to do i defintely dont want to lose 32 rolls. Thanks
    ALso I have friends in europe that i could have the film sent to and then they could send it to me in the US

    My advice is to send them to Dwaynes in the US when you get home. That way, you know where they are the entire time, and you are only dealing with one shipping address.

    The big problem is keeping them safe as you go through customs. Don't let them tell you x-ray will be okay!

    Okay,

    So it's a done deal. Send it to the swiss, let them know where you want them to ship it.

    They are reasonably smart people, I think it will reach you.

    I did something like this when I was in France, almost two years ago. I bought a roll in a camera store there and put my L.A. address on the mailer that came with it. The roll came back, processed fine, about a month later, the return address being from the Kodak HQ in N.J.

    When you send film in the PK59 mailers, they return it to whatever address is printed on the mailer.
    I can't imagine why anyone would think it's a bad idea to just send it to them no matter where you are...

    Yeah - when they post them to and from Switzerland, they don't just bung millions of packets in the Swiss mail and hope for the best - they transport huge batches back to each country and distribute them individually from there. Put whatever address you want and post it in any country listed on the packet to the address for that country on the packet.
