Delivery QuestionsUpdated 2 years ago

How long will my delivery take? 

  • Shop - We aim to dispatch all orders within 2 working days of order confirmation. 
  • Lab  - We will dispatch your negatives once you have received your digital scans

If you are in the UK then delivery time will depend on the shipping service you bought:

  • Standard Tracked Shipping: 2-3 working days from dispatch
  • Premium Tracked Shipping: 1-2 working day from dispatch
  • Free Tracked Shipping (for orders over £50): 2-3 working days from dispatch

For International orders then delivery typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the specific   country.

You can follow your parcel's journey by entering your unique tracking number here 




I have not received my confirmation of shipping email?

For our shop dispatch typically takes 1-2 working days from the order being placed, with priority given to Premium Tracked orders. If you are still within this timeframe then please be patient 😊

If you have an urgent need for the film - or you need to upgrade your order from Standard to Premium - then please give us a ring on 01494 614514




The Royal Mail Tracking system says my parcel has been delivered but I don't have it?

We're sorry for the inconvenience, this happens rarely but it is a pain! Firstly check that your address was correct on the order confirmation email. If so it might be a delivery issue.

Having discussed this at length with Royal Mail Head Office about this issue, their guidance is to follow these steps:

  1. Check outside/round the side/in bins or other potential 'safeplaces' as your postal worker will always try to be helpful and make sure your parcel is left for you - from experience these aren't always the most obvious places!
  2. Ask your neighbours if it was left with them
  3. Talk to your postal worker the next day on their round (if possible) to ask them
  4. Phone your local Post Office and ask them to investigate: they should provide you with an 'Enquiry Reference number' - please save this!
  5. In +90% of cases steps 1-4 is sufficient to flush out the missing parcel. If this hasn't happened in 3 days after reported delivery then please call us on 01494 614514 or email us at [email protected] and let us know - please provide your order number and the Enquiry Reference number that your local Post Office gave you so that we can easily escalate with Royal Mail Head Office. Please note that if we haven't followed steps 1-4 then they won't accept escalation and will recommend that's where we start

We will always work with you on locating your films and making sure that you don't miss out - if they don't turn up after all of the above we will fully refund/replace your order and take up the claim ourselves with the Royal Mail for recompense. You will not be left out of pocket for their mistakes.




The Royal Mail tracking system says my parcel is in a depot but it has not moved in several days?

The most common reason for this is an incomplete/unclear postal address. Your order gets held while the Royal Mail detective team work out the exact building and location where the parcel needs to be delivered. Unfortunately this cannot be accelerated - and you cannot pick up the parcel from the depot itself. Please be patient while they process the order and - if you have a customer account - let us know so that we can update your postal address in the system for future orders.

There are also rare cases when the tracking system has not scanned, or has scanned incorrectly. In this case your order should still be making its way to you: you can contact the Royal Mail via their Royal Mail complaints page or by calling them on 03457 740740 to understand exactly what's happened.
