    To Canadians, is your film okay when you buy it mail order from the US?

    To Canadians, is your film okay when you buy it mail order from the US?

    Or other countries for that matter?

    Any concerns with the delivery services scanning the film and fogging it?

    regards

    I buy my film from B&H or from other forum members. It comes Purulator or USPS. Never had any problem so far. Touching wood.

    Cheers,

    No probs from Freestyle or B&H. Recently got a shipment of 8x10 Tri X from Keith Canham and there was a Kodak sticker on the box warning do not x-ray.

    You had some probs Vick ?

    Always good, from the view camera store, B&H, Adorama, Jim Andracki, Freestyle & Glazers. Never had a problem.

    Yup, I have ordered film from B&H and eBay without issue. Although I try to buy film in Canada when I can find it at a reasonable price.

    4x5, 120, all BW, always from B&H, never encountered a single problem. Delivery is fast, efficient, and predictable.

    Never had a problem so far and for what its worth, BH shipping to Canada has never been longer than 2 days since using their brokerage service.
