Rush Service Colour Film Developing

Need your film processed fast? With our Rush Service, any order that is booked in by us is processed the very same day, so you get your scans and results without the wait. 

Please note:
You’ll receive your order the same day only once you’ve had an "Order Received" email from us. This means we’ve opened your parcel and it’s now in the queue for developing.

A delivery confirmation from Royal Mail does not mean we’ve received or opened your parcel, it just means it’s arrived in our mailbag and is waiting to be processed.

Writing “RUSH” on the outside of your parcel helps us spot your order more quickly when we’re opening the post.

Unless you don't want them, we will always send your negatives back. The postage is selected at checkout and is for us to return your negatives. 

There is also an option for if you don't want the negatives back. If you select this we will destroy your film in a GDPR manner.

If we receive a parcel with film(s) in it and it doesn't have an order number with it, we won't know who it belongs to. We always post images of the parcel and film on our Instagram stories in the hope that the owner of said order sees this and can notify us of the order number.

Unfortunately if the order doesn't have an order number there is very little we can do, so if you think you've forgotten to include one when sending us film, please email us at hello@takeiteasylab.com with a full description of the package and film that was included.

Our Colour / B&W turnaround is usually within 4 working days of receipt of your order. E6/ECN-2 orders can be up to 1-2 weeks. Up-to-date turnaround times can be found in top header or on our Instagram.

Let’s really hope this never happens! But in the unfortunate case that it does, don’t worry, we’d never make you pay full price for this. We will happily refund the cost of the service, minus developing.

Once your files are delivered via Dropbox, we keep your files stored online for three months.

After three months these files are deleted, so make you sure move all folders out of our dropbox onto your own HD or storage!

We store physical orders / negatives at the lab for one month. These orders can be collected during weekdays while we are open. After one month these physical items will be destroyed in a GDPR compliant manner.

Yes we can. We can push your colour and black and white film up to 2 stops for no extra cost.

For black and white pushed film, this is done externally and will extend the turnaround time by a week or so.

Once we have processed your order, we use the email address you supplied on your order form to send the files via Dropbox. Make sure you check your spam folder too.

At checkout you have the option to receive your negatives back via post or you can collect them from our lab.
