I ordered some 10 x12 film from them. Process was very smooth and great communication and I will receive it in a few days. Will report back when I have tried it.
 
Since OP elected not to continue the group buy I contacted them to purchase it myself, the total price with shipping came out almost exactly what I was going to pay through the group buy.

I suspect if you were only ordering a little, it would be expensive, but if you're ordering $100+ of film you might want to contact them, they are very responsive through Instagram given the time difference (11 hours for me).

Can I ask how you contacted them? I also was shut out of the group buy,.

You can contact them on Instagram at @official_svema, and you can also send them an email, found on the price sheet.

I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to work with everyone that signed up, however, unfortunately the whole thing got way bigger than I anticipated. I do eventually want to do this again, however, it didn’t go as smoothly as I was hoping, PayPal made things extremely difficult. As soon as I figure that out, I’ll be happy to do this again, this time with a limited amount of spots so that this situation doesn’t happen again.

I want to know what exactly was the difficulty or problem? I am ready and willing to help and can really do it. And for me it would be a marketing research of the market))) But you need to understand what exactly was the difficulty

As I said to you privately, I am in no way blaming your efforts and nor should anyone else. I hope you contact me if you do this again.
 
I assume that means I need an Instagram account which I don't have - is there a way around that?

Yeah you do, no way around it unfortunately. If it makes you feel better I had to create an account too, that's all I've used it for.
 
I used email and instagram for communication and had no problems with either method. I paid by PayPal and had difficulties originally but PayPal fixed it. If you do pay by PayPal I suggest sending a small $ Amount first and have them confirm amount and receipt.
 
Got my film today, notch for emulsion side is a corner clipped off. It is quite thin, but is supposed to dry very flat, and it's not really hard to handle. It looks black or grey but is a very dark green. I'm hoping to be able to expose a few sheets later today.
