Who are the fuji film distribution companies in the US?
I tried but they're busy and I think the last time I got through to them they said some other part of the comoany contoled this. Idk who to contact. I'm jsut looking for a distribution comapany Fuji has so much moey film whole sale is the leaste of their consersI'd contact FujiFilm. I'm sure they'd be happy to help out with this.
Decades ago, not years decades. I was involved with bicycles. Made my own frames. At the time there were 2 mail order mass market companies. My volume was so small that it was less expensive to order from the consumer mail order company than the shop distributors.
As the small one person or "mom and pop" shop you are not likely to have the volume required for the major distributor to be able to supply to you. Quite often the required volumes to be a a price point.
I suggest you sell your skills, your brain, what you know. Which happens to come with the film purchases.
Good luck
Will it still be profitable after the costs of holding stock, packing and carriage (if mail order) and the 101 overheads of any business ?
Finally "because Id like to do it" is not a valid reason, on its own, if the other things are not met.
I assume some brick&mortar stores got items they make no profit on, but got them on their racks to please or even draw-in clients, adding to what in the past was called goodwill of a business.
That's because importing for a commercial sale and importing for personal use is taxed differently. If you import for commercial purposes the canadian gov taxes the absolute ass out of you, and the only way it can be viable is if you import like a pallet load of film. If OP is in the states it might/will be different.My favourite local retailer often finds it cheaper to buy a number of products from B&H (paying normal retail prices) and incur the costs of commercial importation than to buy the same items at "wholesale" prices from Canadian distributors.
I think you missed the fact that my local store is importing the product commercially when it does this.That's because importing for a commercial sale and importing for personal use is taxed differently.

I talked to a small shop owner who buys his Velvia off ebay.
Across the atlantic ocean so possibly not relevant but the small camera shop I frequent cannot deal directly with Kodak, Ilford or Fuji. They deal with a distributor who isn't directly connected to any of the film manufacturers. It's likely you need to find such a distributor in your state.
...which is exactly why I gave the US Fuifilm office information, and suggestion that Sales or Marketing could direct them to the appropriate direct sales or distributior.Yes, but still is it not strange that a company who makes its living from selling things does not assist in such?
They make it in several places around the world. They also make chemicals in the Netherlands (or Belgium, not 100% sure) and coat also RA4 paper over here.Last I heard Fujifilm was still making E6 chemistry in bulk in Illinois.
But the silver-halide (which also includes Instax and RA-4 paper) is quite a big part of this.Fuji has so much moey film whole sale is the leaste of their consers
Yes, I have used the EU produced paper, Crystal Archive and chemistry (E6). The US E6 is sold in bulk for mostly commercial labs, the US made product still contains formaldehyde. The EU formula has a different prebleach and final rinse. The EU E6 version made in Belgium, uses Miconazole as the antimicrobial agent to comply with RoHS regulations.They make it in several places around the world.

Can't you simply buy your stuff at the cheapest online store and then resell it?
