Anyone who has purchased mail order film experienced any problems with fogged films?

Where did you purchase the film? X-ray machines differ around the world.

Thanks.

I order all my film from Silverprint or 7dayshop. Never had any problems with fogged film.

Yeah I've bought film from them also, but wouldn't expect problems from UK inbound flights. I'm thinking of long haul international flights.

I've ordered ortho litho film from freestyle and not had a problem yet but that's the equivalent of ISO 3 so it's not very likely to fog with mild x-rays, at least as I understand it.
