Good Point - actually could be a good service for someone to consider as a part time job. Dealing with duties and custom fee's would be the tricky part. I wonder if local shipping services offer this .You could get a post office box in Buffalo and have someone drive down and being it back, if you used cross border shipping enough.
I was checking out prices on Freestyle and some of the film prices are cheaper than B&H! Maybe if Freestyle keeps their prices more competitive, they could generate new customers, more business from regulars, while still meeting, or surpassing their profit goals.
I just received an order from Freestyle, for some Liquidol and Microphen, and when I saw the price of Acros 100 in 120 format I bought one of those, too. The 5 pack of Acros 100 was $23.99 at Freestyle and BH has it at $29.95. I'd always just assumed B&H had cheaper film prices, and they do for a lot of them, but I was pleasantly surprised on the price difference here.
A very good reason to order everything possible from a different dealer!In the wake of the ValuJet Flight 592 crash on May 11, 1996, the federal government began cracking down on safety regulations for many different chemicals in airplane cargo holds. We don't ship ground so every order has to conform. We elected to observe the safety restrictions scrupulously and the result is a range of chemicals and similar items we cannot ship. Compressed air products like Beseler Duster fall under the same restrictions. More recently there have been similar issues with lithium batteries.
I am sorry this is new information for some of you and regret the inconvenience it causes.
What actually changed is we took comments in this thread to heart and redoubled our effort to get more darkroom products added to the "okay to ship" roster.I don't know what's changed, but I ordered and received a variety of Ilford powdered chems last week: Bromophen, Perceptol, ID-11. I know that these had all been listed as store pickup only at the end of last year.
Good to hear. Good for us. And thank you!What actually changed is we took comments in this thread to heart and redoubled our effort to get more darkroom products added to the "okay to ship" roster.

Why the vitriolic B&H hatred? Why the repeated attacks? Why attempt over and over to damage one of the largest, if not the largest, supplier of analog photography products? What do you get out of it? What does it accomplish for this community?
I agree,Why the vitriolic B&H hatred? Why the repeated attacks? Why attempt over and over to damage one of the largest, if not the largest, supplier of analog photography products? What do you get out of it? What does it accomplish for this community?
...vitriolic...hatred...
Note that those two are not the same thing. An important distinction....some customers remain unhappy...
we are lied to all the time, but I like Sal would rather have a company that stocks all the stuff we use here active on this site , represented and welcome than the reverse.It's simple. I don't like being lied to.
I have deleted my posts so no one if offended by the truth. I'll bow out of the conversation now. No one cares anyway. Whatever is cheapest.we are lied to all the time, but I like Sal would rather have a company that stocks all the stuff we use here active on this site , represented and welcome than the reverse.
