I haven't used film long enough to comment on the developing, but I will say that the minimum postage on these envelopes is now $1.30, not "2 postage stamps" as stated on the package. THe USPS changed its regulations for letters v. parcels. I'm not complaining-- it's just good for customers to know this to avoid returned mail.

If I do not need the three hour turn over from my photo lab.
If the photos are not for commerical work or publication.
Often slides are not mounted correctly, and it is necessary to put them into plastic mounts.

Have tried many developers and nothing comes close. Quick turnaround, consistent quality.

I wish the lab could turn around the delivery a little faster. Also, I prefer plastic mounting rather than paper.

Film is done by Dwane's Photo in Kansas. The slides are always done nicely and mounted correctly, even the bad photos. This is an excellent way of sending slide rolls in while on the road. Add postage (three first class stamps) and mail. Just beware that the envelope is very strong, so I recommend that you cut off tabs and ready them before you go. I had trouble finding a knife or cutter of some type after flying. The film usually comes back in about 1-2 weeks, depending on return mail speed. Dwanes's is also an excellent place for mailing all types of film for processing.

No problem with the quality of development here but you run the risk of never getting your slides if you send the mailers to the address [...] gives you. [...] needs to include instructions telling you they changed their address! Also, the US Postal Service recently changed rules on using these envelopes. You now need more than 2 first class stamps. Check with your local post office before dropping in a mail box!

Now that Digital imaging has killed off labs around the country, it's good to have reliable E-6 processing just a mail box away. Certainly not to custom lab capabilites, but a tremedous bargain for the price.

The slide film mailer is a great help. It cuts out going to a local lab who then in turns mails it out. So that middle man is elimated plus it goes to a Fuiji lab!

I've bought mailers for the last few years and have been very happy with the results.

With over 25 years of experience of using Fuji Mailers there was never a problem with developing my slides. Turn around time was usually 7-10 days.
from Boise, Idaho on 2/12/2007
I've used the Fuji film mailers for years and have never been disappointed. I have been disappointed in other services before I started using Fuji and have had concistant good quality with Fuji processing.
from Walton, KY on 2/6/2007
It met my expectations. It is a simple, convenient and affordable way to have film developed.
from Olympia WA on 2/5/2007
I have used these mailers many times and the film has never been lost.

The quality from Fuji slide mailers is consistent and a good value for the money
from Redwood City, CA on 2/5/2007
The Fuji slide processing has good color & consistent results. I've used them for more than 10 years. It takes about 10 days to get my slides back after mailing it to AZ and it saves me from having to make a trip to a local camera store--more time consuming now that Costco does not process slide film anymore at Kodak. The Fuji mailer is a better value than the Kodak mailer.
The only complaint I have is the slide mount. It 's cardboard instead of plastic mounted. They used to be plastic mounted till the last ~3 years. The cardboard mount is not as rigid & not as heavy. So the slide is prone to getting stuck in the Kodak carousal tray if the slide mount is not perfectly straight--very annoying. On the other hand, Kodak has also switched to cardboard mount & I have not taken the time to look for an alternate processing lab.
It's too bad slide film use is on the decline. There is nothing like projecting the slide onto a large screen & seeing all the vibrant colors & intricate details, especially from film like Fujichrome Velvia. You can't get this level of quality from a digital projector.
