Bulk purchase of Ilford B/W film in the UK - any good deals?

[Steve Roberts]

I'm looking to buy some FP4. I normally buy film in bulk rolls but am getting to the end of 400ft that I bought a few years ago. I now see that 100ft of FP4 seems to start at a shade under £60 and then rocket up to the point where the unsuspecting could pay as much as £80 for the same package. I wondered whether anyone knows of any UK companies who are amenable to giving a discount on the purchase of 2, 3 or 4 100ft rolls? Obviously, I keep an eye on eBay for any bargains, but even there, apart from a one-off purchase that might crop up now and again, the bottom line seems to be around £60. Any ideas/suggestions gratefully received!
Thanks,
Steve

I'd be inclined to ring up the usual suspects and just ask. Silverprint, ag, rk and so on

Yes, and it will be free delivery as it passes £50.
Nice!

Thanks everyone. Harman Express certainly looks the best bet.

Steve: Probably not very helpful... if you know anyone traveling from USA to UK, see if he can bring those for you. Oh, make sure he keeps the films in his hand luggage (not in checked in ones). You can make a substantial savings. All my relatives are now aware of my analogue hobby.

Thanks - perhaps a few UK APUG users would like to club together to send me to the US so that I could bring us all back some cheap film. Naturally the trip would have to include a short stop-off of, say, two weeks in Hawaii !

Agreed but only if you can re-start production of Kodachrome while you are there

36 and bulk, and no I'm regrettably not on commission.

Yeap, they do.

Kentmere 100 developed and S word by Snaps Photo Services in Bournemouth. Developed in ID11.
Looks better than my crappy S word, no?

Ilford also does a PAN 100 and PAN 400.
Imaging Warehouse still have them at £3.49 /roll and £38.49 /100ft bulk.
