I used these for the first time and…
I used these for the first time and never again, film shipped, they said they got it and that was it, I never got it back, I emailed after a couple weeks and they said they’d sent it back and it must have gotten lost. Every other film lab I’ve used would refund you if you didn’t get your parcel, all I got was ‘oh it must’ve gotten lost, bye’ won’t be using again

Reply from Southsun Film Lab
We're sorry about your experience! Royal Mail have an excellent delivery rate so we usually write to ask clients to wait another couple of weeks as the package usually turns up. According to our notes we didn't get another email regarding the order so we then assume it has been delivered. Apologies again and we are happy to follow up with Royal Mail for compensation.
Great service every time.
Excellent turnaround, immaculate scans, and great value for money!
I've used southsun's services several times now and they have never disappointed. I look forward to using them again very soon.
