That's weird to me. ANYTHING I don't do at home, I mail order. What's the big problem? This currently includes ALL my color though I am getting back into C41 and RA4 soon - maybe E6 too but haven't decided about that and it became less likely with news of the cancellation of Ilfochrome.
I also online order ALL my film, ALL my paper, ALL my chemicals etc. If there's a place locally to buy anything other than a few rolls of Fuji consumer C41, I don't know where it is. Nor do I really care as it's easier and cheaper, if not faster, to just get it off the 'net delivered conveniently to my door.
I'll take the survivalist thing as far as home b&w development for hybrid workflow but homebrew C-41 and E6 just doesn't work for me. As long as my lab stays afloat, I'm shooting film but when that punks out it's over except for b&w.
I understand that. It works for me because I have a Jobo and it's easy. I've done it without one and it works and isn't really that difficult, but I might well decide if I didn't have the Jobo that it's more trouble than it's worth.
It's the not mail ordering I found odd. But then again even in the old days I lived in a small town and in the 80s and 90s had to mail order the vast majority of stuff I used, and in those days it was mail or phone and not Internet with computer shopping carts and instant access to inventory information. Film processing is more like it used to be (I did get film processed locally when I didn't do color) but it's easy, if not fast. Fill out the form, drop in mail with film. Takes a while though, granted.
Canada sucks, IMO.
More real estate and people than Oz. What's not to like?

Canada's too cold and wet. Oz is too hot and dry.
Oh excuse me- I gotta go. Gotta get ready for fire season.
Why not try Richmond, Va! (just being a a$$hole)

Let me try this again: the labs aren't there, at least for Canada. but mail order processing would sorely test my loyalty to any film if it were the only processing option.
100 bucks for special shipping to get a chemical kit? plus chemicals that would probably go bad before I could use the half of them. (I can buy HC-110 and Ilford Fixer at Henrys, but they don't list the E-6 stuff.)$10 postage each way! $20 before processing fees? You realize it would be way, Way, WAY cheaper to do your own, right?
Personally, I'm assuming everything from Kodak and Fuji will eventually go. .
Where do you get your information from?
Remember, "This forum is NOT for rumors and speculation".
If you have a source please let us know what it is.
PS I personally think the last EBX roll has already been produced but I really know nothing for sure.
Again, Do you have a source for you speculation that life is a bitch? The part about you die I think we can agree is fact.
