Where do my fellow Canadians buy their ReadyLoad?

[Mark McCarvill]

Happy Canada Day everyone!

I'm wondering if there are other Canadian users of ReadyLoad film who can tell me where I can get a deal on the film. I currently buy it from B&H for US$2.63 a sheet (e.g. $210 for 4 boxes of 20, including shipping). Even with shipping it’s almost $10 / box cheaper than Toronto suppliers like Vistek.

Can anyone beat US$2.63 a sheet?

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

Try Badger, they are usually competitive:

I don't know of any others in Canada besides Vistek.

from Calumet I received it (TMX100 single sheet readyload) within a week, from the local (Calgary) camera store it took 4 months. I have no idea of the cost.

Thanks, Ron. I checked Badger and they’re the same price at B&H.

Hans, B&H is cheaper than Calumet. You might want to check them out.

If you check the archives, you will find a Canadian supplier that has prices competitive with B&H. I don't know if it is still true, but at the time of the post, this supplier was selling AZO at prices cheaper than in the US.

I'm in Windsor. I have ordered it through a local supplier but it seems that ordering from Kodak is becoming a problem because of high minimum orders and more often than not, getting short dated film. I find it very convenient to order from Badger. Their prices are good and their service is excellent. I ship it to a mail box that I maintain in Detroit and then pick it up myself. You have to still pay the taxes but it saves brokerage fees.

Jeff, I couldn’t find the thread you referred to. But thanks for the idea.

William, I've ordered from Badger before and have always used US mail for shipping, which means no brokerage fees. So you may want to check that out. Their ReadyLoad price is the same as B&H.
