    Shipping film

    Is it still considered safe to mail film domestically by USPS, any concerns about x-ray damage?

    I don't see recent threads on this and my internet searches don't reveal clear guidance. But I'm not the greatest searcher so may be missing something.

    Thank you,

    -Harlan

    USPS says they may X-ray some

    But I don’t think it’s routine or likely. Maybe for suspicious pkgs. I just don’t think it’s feasible to scan everything given the current infrastructure.

    I’ve mailed exposed film left and right and shopped new film delivered by usps for many years…. Not a problem even once ….

    Harlan, trying to message you about the film you have for sale but it tells me your mailbox is full.
