Vanbar Melb C-41 order taking FOREVER!!! Wherelse do I go?

[Colin D]

So I see Vanbar in Sydney bit the dust, that might explain why my order for C-41 chemicals that I placed in Feb from Fitzroy store has not arrived. It would seem they have hit the proverbial wall and are sitting on my money which I will now request back and give up on them altogether. Pity, I used to get good service from them, but clearly my patronage means jack shit when it comes to telling me the truth about what is going on with my chemicals. I get lame excuses like they are held up in customs, or there is a problem transporting them now etc...pull the other one it plays jingle bells.

Where else in Melbourne can I get C-41 chems? I see Blanco Negro from Sydney is a popular suggestion elsewhere, but Melb supplier would be more convenient if one exists.

Thanks

Thanks Shane, I'll chase them up. Vanbar are still saying they are waiting for the stuff, but they also say it is contingent on quantities and given the order was placed in October that doesn't make sense to me.

I remember one time when Vanbar were out of Rodinal and it was going to be months before they got any, I ended up buying five bottles from an online German store & had them within a couple of weeks at the same price per bottle as if I'd bought them locally. I forget if it was Maco or Fotoimpex, but they both sell C41 - you'd just have to check if it can be shipped to Australia and work out the costs.
