Best price on K40 in the US?

Post by Kurt8 »

Hello,

I'm taking a trip to North America in September and was wondering who has the best price on K40 at the moment? The strong Euro might make it a bit cheaper than buying it in Europe. Also, is K40 sold with the processing envelope in the US (like it is here in Europe)?

Thanks in advance,

Kurt

Do a search on here for info to your question.

Also, k40 is sold WITHOUT processing in the USA. If you buy K40 in CANADA, the price includes processing and there is no way around it. Not sure about Mexico.

Where in the world are you going? North America where?

K40 is $13.54 directly from Kodak with processing included. This is definately the cheapest route to go. I've purchased dozens of rolls from them in the last couple of months, processing turnaround thru Fairlawn typically takes 15-16 calendar days.

Call Kodak at 1 (800) 621-3456

Hi Kurt,

My experience has been that the processing-paid mailer, packaged with K40 and sold through Kodak-USA, is also an international one: Kodak-gold; instructions in French/English/German, et cetera; lab addresses for Australia to the UK.

shipping

Forgive the questions of this novice, but what is the shipping cost when using the mailers? Or is this pre-paid as well as the processing?

OK. That's what I suspected you meant, but I understood FearDoiche's question to be related to mailing the film to Kodak for processing.

The pre-paid processing mailer is an envelope provided by Kodak and included in the box.

Within the lower-48, put 1. your completely exposed film cartridge inside and 2. an 83-cent stamp on the outside of the envelope, and send it to Fairlawn. Return postage on the developed film is included in the purchase price of the film.

Whose face is on a (the?) 83-cent stamp? Edna Ferber.
