How to Return Film for Processing | Fast & Easy Film Development
Thank you so much for entrusting Analogue WonderLab with your precious films, it really is an honour for us to be part of your photographic adventures!
Please read the instructions below for how to send us your films for development. You get ONE free postage label per lab order, so please send all of the films for an order at the same time .
And then we have a couple of other quick logistics points to make things as smooth as possible!
- Make sure you have created a customer account on our website (very easy to do from here), so you can view the images once uploaded - the account must have the same email address you used to place the lab order. Your images will be uploaded within the 'My Photos' section of the website, once you're logged in.
- Please note that if you purchased film in the same order as your developing, then that will be dispatched in line with our usual timelines (available here)
How to send your film to the lab
There are two options for sending us your film.
Send via Post
Please note that you get one free postage label per order.
You must send all of the films for your order's developments at the same time, unfortunately we cannot split development orders.
- Pack your film(s) safely in a recyclable container (our film boxes are perfect for reuse). Please do not use plain, thin paper envelopes as these can rip in transit and films can be lost.
- Follow this link to generate a Royal Mail return label
- Print and affix this label to your package to return it to us. If you do not have a printer then this step can be done at a post office
- Make a note of your unique tracking number (written just under the barcode on the postage label) - so you can follow the parcel through the system via Royal Mail here
- Drop the parcel in a postbox, parcel collection point, or post office
- That's it!
You can see the process of generating your FREE tracked label via the short video below:
