Nick, I just had a terrible experience with a Kodak mailer. I had a roll
of Kodachrome 200 that I'd had for a while nicely frozen. In a pinch, I
decided to use it since I had a mailer kicking around. I had always been
able to drop them off directly at the lab when I was in the Palo Alto area
and knew there was a Qualex facility here in Dallas. I drove over to it and
they would not accept it for shipping to the NJ lab, nor would they give me
the NJ labs address. I had to go on line to get that. After sending it in
regular mail I waited, and waited and waited. Finally, I contacted Kodak
and was told it left their lab on May 4th. It did not show up at my studio.
Well I had many emails with them to clarify contradictory information that
I'd been getting over the phone. They put a tracer on it with the US Post
office and I put one in with my local PO. They finally got it back after 4
weeks marked no such address. I had received bad service from my post
office before, but my address has been used by me for almost 5 years, and by
others long before me. Kodak reshipped it in a priority envelop and it made
it with no problem.

I think if I had 9 rolls, I'd send them all at once with a fed ex #. I don't
plan on restocking any more Kodachrome.
