A matter of film

wassup J-unit.
My guess is that between shipping costs, the chance of the film being destroyed by high-dose cargo X-rays, and the possibility of getting hit by taxes/duties at customs, doing your own export/import would not be worth it.

One possible use for LS is if people who are traveling light, with a little lead time on their flights, can volunteer to courier a package for members in the destination country.

ie: “Im heading for london from new york next week, anyone need a delivery?”

I don’t think Fed-Ex nukes your packages. Try calling them up though and tell them you’re shipping pro film.

heya Johan — agreed — I don’t think Fed-Ex nukes film — I’ve been fed-exing film internationally as recently as a few weeks ago (although I generally send film in an lead-lined X-ray bag, and mark the package as: “exposed film – no X-ray” ) – but mos definately, if the point is to save money on the cost of film, fed-exing will end up being more expensive.

Damn dude— just arrived in London yesterday from New York. I could have hooked you up. I guess that’s pretty useless information now. And yet I still hit the post button.

Some real nice stuff in 30 under 30 by the way… i knew i recognized your name from somewhere…
