Anyone got their Kodachrome yet?

Vonder · Jan 11, 2011

Or been billed for it? I mailed my one roll in on December 27th but have not seen a bill on my CC nor any notice.

I called KS yesterday as mine got there on the 27th. The nice gal on the phone said that they were still processing the Kodachrome they received and it will take about two weeks for CCs to be billed, and to wait a few more days.

I talked to then yesterday afternoon as well. My rolls got there on the 28th, and they had it in their system. The woman on the phone (who laughed when I said "you're probably getting tired of hearing this question...") told me they were also backed up (not surprisingly) in getting processed rolls packed up and shipped out, billed, etc. I mean, if you've got ten times the normal workload on one end of the process, then you've got that to deal with on the other end as well. So it will probably take them some time to get all the finished film out even after the machines are finally shut down.

Nothing yet I mailed mine in about the same time. Good things come o those who wait, but I did have a dream last night where I got my slides Seems to have been a recurring dream the past 2 weeks.

I'm not worried; the photos were not of great importance, but it'd be nice to get them nonetheless. I mailed in some E-6 to Dwayne's on January 3rd and they were back in my hands last Friday, less than a week. I bet the E-6 machine is looking jealously at the Kodachrome machine, but like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it knows the champ's time in the sun is almost over...

Dwayne's deposited my check on 12/27. However, when I emailed them yesterday the response I got is they have no record of any order with my name on it. My bank confirmed the check was deposited into their account, so something funny is going on.

From Dwaynes's website: "Orders Are Delayed Up to Three Weeks"

"We are currently shipping out orders received: Dec 24th"

"Due to the incredible amount of film we received the last two weeks of Kodachrome processing, all orders in the lab are substantially delayed. We are working as rapidly as possible to return to our normal service schedule. Please be patient as we clear the enormous backlog of film. We will update this page every day with current information about what orders are being shipped out."

Where does it say that?

My last four rolls were received by Dwayne's on the 23 or 24th and shipped yesterday. Considering the number of calls and emails (on top of the volume of Kodachrome) they have been deluged with, I give them credit for good service.

j-dogg · Jan 11, 2011

Yep, Dwayne's ftw. I bet they have made quite a bit of money during all of this.

Sanjay Sen · Jan 11, 2011

Yep, got them back last week. Seven rolls processed and scanned. But then, I didn't wait until the last couple of days to mail my film in either.

mopar_guy · Jan 11, 2011

December 14th, I sent in five rolls and those came back to me on January 3rd (20 day turn-around).

December 27th, I sent in five rolls and the check hit the bank on the 29th. I am not really looking to get those back for another week or so.

Before November, the turn-around was usually about a week.

Mine were there just before Christmas (6 rolls) and I received the processed slides on Saturday, Jan. 15th. The process date stamped on the slide mount is "Jan 11." So, it took a few weeks to get them through the machine. I chose to pay with PayPal and they sent an email on Dec 28th. I paid that day. Got my slides a few weeks later. Dwayne's did a great job. 2009 family reunion snaps; Spearfish, SD (Mt. Rushmore). Just snaps, but the colors and tones are excellent. Great memories on Kodachrome. Glad to have done it.

My Kodachrome was sent UPS 3 Day on 27 December along with an employee at the local photo store and we received ours on the eleventh of this month. It appeared to have been scanned on 4 January.

holmburgers · Jan 18, 2011

I got mine in on the 27th and the 29th, and they have been shipped as of today and yesterday. I called them and sure enough they are still processing stuff that they received before the 29th, they might be done by now. But don't worry, it's coming, and you can always call them if you are worried.

Tim Gray · Jan 18, 2011

I sent mine in on the 17th. Was supposed to get there on the 20th but arrived on the 27th. My credit card was charged over the weekend. Dwayne's webpage at the time said they were processing film that had arrived on the 27th; now it says the 28th. So it seems reasonably accurate.

msa · Jan 18, 2011

Two orders arrived there on the 27th, they shipped yesterday (for today -- got the notification yesterday though) and today, don't have either in hand yet, obviously.

Waiting on another order that arrived the morning of the 28th.

Toffle · Jan 18, 2011

Shipping to Canada is obviously a lot slower. Mine was shipped on the 10th... it would be nice to have them for the weekend, but I've got plenty to work with in the mean time. If nothing else, working with Kodachrome has taught me patience.

msa · Jan 19, 2011

The order that arrived on the 28th just shipped.

That's it, I'm done

MattKing · Jan 19, 2011

Got my "send money" email today - my 8 rolls arrived there on December 27th.

I had them scan them, so that probably added to the delay.

Ottrdaemmerung · Jan 19, 2011

I sent mine out by USPS on Dec. 20, no Delivery Confirmation, and just got my notification today that they were finally shipping my order. I, too, had them do the scanning.

bblhed · Jan 19, 2011

No bill or slides yet, I heard that they are finally done with all of the processing so I hope I will see them soon.

Toffle · Jan 19, 2011

They are in!

I miss it already.

They charged me for pre-paid rolls?!?!
(are Dwayne's no longer honouring pre-paid (red) canisters?)

Tim Gray · Jan 19, 2011

Got mine today. Never got a shipment email because they got my email address wrong by one letter. Haha. I also got mine mounted. I thought I had asked for them not to be, though I know I considered it, so who knows if it was their mistake or my faulty memory. Probably the latter

Anyone got their Kodachrome yet?
