Analogue Wonderland Turnaround Times
Hello WonderLab customer. Thank you for using our developing lab to bring your films to life!
Most orders have their scans sent out within the following turnaround times from the date the order is received in the lab - we are not open on Saturdays or Sundays so these are not working days.
Please note that the turnaround times below are a current 'snapshot' based on the last updated date from the lab - this doesn't guarantee that your films will be processed within this time, but is more of an indication as to our current processes. Please be aware that any special requests (e.g. push/pull), large orders or unusual formats (110/126/127) may add time to the order.
Happy Shooting,
WonderLab Team

Important Notes
Our working days are Monday to Friday and we are closed on UK Bank Holidays. Please note that during summer we do experience larger than usual volumes of films to be developed - turnaround times will be affected but we will make every effort to inform you of any unforeseen delays.
Negatives are held for 7-10 days after scans have been sent, this is both for quality control (time for you to review scans and ask any questions about the results) and to allow you to purchase prints which can be sent back with your scans. Develop-only orders are sent back as soon as possible once developed. Feel free to contact us if you would like the negatives sent back quicker.
Delays to your order can be caused by not sending in everything that was ordered, not noting your order number down correctly, or special requests like push & pull/sprocket scanning. Please double check or contact us (help@analoguewonderland.co.uk) with any questions before posting if you are unsure about your order.
If you have sent us a mixed order of Colour and Black & White films then the scans will be uploaded to your account once all the films have been developed, scanned and edited. Scans from specialist films (E6 / ECN2) will be uploaded separately once ready, and all negatives will be sent back together.
