Will Canadian Walmart develop K40?

[HuntingtonGault]

in what state is Dwayne's?

[Ralphie]

Dwayne's is in Kansas. But you being Canadian can take you K40 to any Shopper's Drug Mart to make a "Qualex" outlab drop off. No shipping required.

Never been into a walmart so don't know.

But take it into a shopper's drug mart. More common than walmart up here

That's my experience, in Toronto

Greetings everyone, this is my first post here. Great group!


A couple of on-topic questions:

How much does Shoppers Drug Mart charge for K40?

Do you know if they will be accepting E64?

Which Shoppers locations in Toronto give the best service/know what Super8 is?

Cheers,
Dave

All the K40 I have taken to Shoppr's was process pre-paid and they just send it to Switzerland. No Charge. If it's not pre-paid there will be a charge but I don't know what it is. All K40 sold in Canada was pre-paid. If you re trying to send it to Dwaynes in the US Shopper's is no help to my knowledge.

I have only used the outlet on Queen, east of Bathurst.

A prepaid cart obviously costs nothing. A non-prepaid cart is $12. CDN with tax is: $13.81 CDN. The code on the film indicates if one or the other.

Ralphie do you still have to pay shipping after paying the $13.81?

There is no cost to ship. It's all taken care of by Qualex(outlab service). They put the cart in a photofinishing envelope and give you the claim ticket. However, most of the staff have never seen a super 8 cart, and don't know what to do with it. If they ask you how many sets you want or if you want glossy or matte, they don't know so you'll need to tell them it's a drop off for "Qualex" outlab. One can even call qualex directly to check on the status of their order. Oh, and i was wrong, the cost for non-processing included carts is $13.80 CDN not $13.81.
You don't even have to use the yellow mailer. Start saving your mailers, they fetch quite a bit on ebay. I ended up selling almost 20 of them for around $80. USD.

If you are saying what I think you are saying, you cheated the purchaser. If he was in the USA and is not familiar with the concept of film being sold with prepaid processing. I hope this was not the case.

The PK-59 Kodak/Qualex processing mailers sold separately from the film in the USA for $9.95 or so are certainly worth $4 each. If the purchaser got these, then he had quite a bargain. Kodachrome film sold in the USA does not include processing, after the Federal antitrust lawsuit settlement of several decades ago.

However, if you are talking about mailers that are just a convenient package for mailing purposes, that come with prepaid process film that was sold outside the USA, then they are worthless to someone in the USA. These mailers do not entitle the owner to anything. They are intended to be used only with film that is identified "on the film" as sold with processing included.

If you put film in them that was sold in the USA without processing included, (and all Kodachrome film is sold indicating "on the film itself" whether processing is included or not,) then these mailers will not entitle the owner to anything and he will be charged the full list price for the developing. Plus having wasted $4 each buying them from you. Plus a possible delay for Kodak collecting the money from him before return. (Unless a processing technician fails to notice that the film was sold without processing included.)

ya ralphie, if you put non process paid carts in to a pk-59 mailer then you won't have to pay the $13.80, thats the point of the mailer.

I have these mailers and it costs me $4.00 in postage to send 4-5 films to kodak mailer processing in MD and they are returned postage paid by kodak.

If I were in the States, I would have to just place some stamps on the mailers and they would be returned postage paid as well.

The $13.80 should be only if you have non-process paid carts and have no pk-59 mailers. otherwise you would be paying $13.80 to much/ cart.

No that was definitely not the case. I don't rip people off. I clearly indicated in the listing discription that they can only be used with "processing included" carts.

Good! I guess the bidder will be finding out the difference between the two kinds of mailers the hard way. ;-)

What about E64? Will it be accepted by Shoppers / Qualex?

Or should I look to a local lab (i.e. Exclusive Film)

Qualex will not deal with super 8 film besides kodachrome. I have already contacted Exclusive regarding the new E64T. They will be processing it and they have been testing the process for a while.
