Film Developing by Mail
Locating a nearby film developing lab can be quite the challenge. However, with our convenient mailing service, distance is no longer a barrier.
Wherever you may be, getting your film developed is now hassle-free. We take pride in providing top-notch developing and scanning services at competitive rates to the United States.
Step-by-Step Guide for Mailing Your Film:
Starting an Order
Try our new platform - Film Developing Co. You can order and pay online, receive order updates and purchase 35mm & 120 film, as well as disposable and reusable cameras directly from our store!
Use our classic mail in form - fill and print via the link below and send your rolls our way. Use the provided business reply label for included shipping to us.


Securely Place Your Film and Order Form
Place your film, along with the order form, into a plastic ziplock bag. This helps protect your film incase of any water or package damage.
Pack Your Film Safely
Place the sealed ziplock bag containing your film and order form into a padded envelope or box. Ensure that the packaging provides adequate protection to prevent any damage to your film during transit.


Seal the Envelop/Box Securely
Seal the padded envelop or box securely to prevent any tampering or damage during transit.
Attach the Shipping Label
Attach our business reply label to the outside of the package in a visible spot. This will ensure that your package is properly identified and routed to our store.


Drop Off at USPS Location
You can either take your securely packaged film package to the nearest USPS location and drop it off to be mailed to us, or leave your package in your mailbox to be picked up by your local mail carrier.
Once we've received your film, processing will begin. Color processing (C-41) takes 1-2 business days - sometimes even less, and Black and White processing takes 1-5 business days, as we hand develop all B&W film. Once everything is developed and scanned, you will receive a link through Dropbox with your digital files and your negatives (and prints if selected) will be sent back to you or disposed of.
