EU reugulation urges the transfer from bank to bank to take less than 24h.Payment by bank transfer is one thing that slows things down a bit,...
Well, it's about timing. International bank transfers are not recorded on continual basis, but rather in time slots each day. If you miss one, it goes into aEU reugulation urges the transfer from bank to bank to take less than 24h.
Well, it's about timing. International bank transfers are not recorded on continual basis, but rather in time slots each day. If you miss one, it goes into a
queue for next, so it is all relative. Even so, update was 2 days after I made the transfer, so can't see how they could pull if off any faster.
My bank is, apparently one that Filmotec uses is not. When you trigger transfer it will show push payment option IF receiving bank accepts it and I did not get that option. Either way, even if they had the money same day (which would have been at closing office hours) I can't complain about 2 days to ship after I initiated the payment.Being non EUR zone slows things, because SEPA payments are now really fast, it’s basically matter of hours or minutes (depending on your bank - if it’s a part of instant payment system or not).

Kind of too bad it isn't even officially mentioned on Filmotec website as direct purchase being an option.
Hopefully we're not doing too much advertising for them so they won't stop this process altogether.I just received a 100ft spool of N75 direct from ORWO in Wolfen. It took less than a week from when I contacted them via email to having it sitting on my kitchen table in Ireland.

16mm in 30.5 m lengths is supplied on spool by Filmotec.for stills,we are used to bulk film being on a core, just a reminder that ORWO generally only winds their film on a core and not a spool. could be a shock for a 16mm movie maker who was expecting a spool and gets film on a core.
My main draw to going direct is presumed freshness of the film stock. At least it is coming direct form the factory. Any secondary seller may or may not be storing it right.I doubt we can drive enough volume to be a problem. Most still shooters will probably just buy from eBay or similar I would guess.
