I am going to be travelling for business and was planning on taking my camera gear with me. To avoid hassles in the airport, I was thinking of shipping my film ahead.
Since I have some work equipment to ship, I was going to put my film with it. We use DHL at our office. Is DHL film friendly or should I send it FedEx?
The people who would know would be people who have to ship film all the time, like Badger, Calumet, B&H, Adorama, FreeStyle, JandC Photo... I'm sure that you can at least find out how these companies ship film.
Badger Graphics, for example, ships film (5x4 Tri-X and 160PortraVC readyloads) to me via UPS. I've never had a problem with it.
Wish I knew about DHL. They look like an attractive alternative to FedEx here - my local FedEx people are efficient destroyers, at least of stuff that ships to me :-(
I us DHL and have had no problems shippingfilm. I know that Calumet in Cambridge, MA use DHL.
All Calumet stores in the US use DHL as their primary method of shipping. So far, I've heard of no problems regarding film.
