Mail-in kits
Send a roll out, get scans back. The lab comes to your door.
The lab comes to you
No lab nearby? Most will mail you a kit: a mailer, a barcode, and a padded envelope. Send the roll out, get scans emailed back.
The flow
1. order kit ships to your door 2. shoot fill the rolls, note the stock 3. mail drop it in any postbox 4. receive scans to your inbox in days
Keep the negatives
Always ask for the negatives back. They're the archive. Scans are a convenience; the film is the original.
