The Film Club

Anyone know whether www.thefilmclub.com is a reliable vendor for

film? The prices are amazingly cheap...8)

 

Thanx

I can't say about reliability, but I have seen them at a couple of camera shows here in the Dallas area.

 

Their prices are cheap, but not THAT cheap. I just checked Ilford HP5+, and B&H has it lower than The Film Club.

I've used them a few times. While largely reliable, they did screw up my most recent

order. I received film that was completely different than what I had ordered - even the

brand was wrong. I emailed them about it and didn't get a response for almost two

weeks. I suppose I could have just called, but my "day" job makes it much easier for

me to correspond with the outside world via email than by telephonic communication.

 

<p>What was more annoying than their delay in responding to me was the fact that

they wanted me to pay return shipping for their mistake. I refused to do so, but

funnily enough, I actually ended up liking the film they sent me <i>better</i> than

what I had ordered! Had than been their intention, I'd have been impressed. But as it

stands, I was left with a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.

<p><i>"What was more annoying than their delay in responding to me was the fact that they wanted me to pay return shipping for their mistake."</i><p>Well, that right there ensures I'll never work with them. Go B&H. Very good prices, fresh film, very reliable.

I have had good luck with the one order I have had from them. 100 4x5 sheets of HP5+ for $45. Fast delivery. No problems. I would deal with them again, especially for short dated film.
