Can anyone recommend online suppliers of photo chemicals and other supplies for Europe? The last time I ordered from Adorama I was slapped with a whopping customs charge that equalled 50% of the order. Others such as Jessops and Calumet seem to require an EU address for your credit card. I looked at Reteo Photographic last night and they had steep handling charges. Thanks for any ideas.

www.firstcallphotographic.co.uk are quite cheap for inland uk orders - not sure about international
or
www.silverprint.co.uk may sell internationally too - still proabably quite steep if you're not in UK though

hope that helps

Dead Link Removed again or try the German parent company. Also Creative Monochrome will be worth trying.

I use Nova in the UK - www.novadarkroom.com. I don't know if they deliver to Europe though.

Further thought suggests Speedibrew as their products as sent dry thereby reducing postage costs.
http://www.speedibrews.free-online.co.uk/ but they don't have an online shop but Silverprint stock their products.

I've used Monochrom in Germany several times, and have been very happy with them.

Creative Monochrome is now called Arum Publishing.

They do ship to international countries, but the rate is quite high. They don't use Royal Mail, but some courier service.

I've paid upto 20 pounds for delivery. It depends on the weight. The service is very fast, both within the UK and to Holland.

There's also http://www.moersch-photochemie.de/ - Wolfgang Moersch's chemicals are really wonderful. The "Carbon toner" is probably a classic sulfide/selenium toner like what Viradon used to be.
