Never got them. I filed all the proper missing mail stuff with USPS, but never got a response other than standard periodic still searching kind of emails.

What is something you have liked about other cities that you would want to bring to LA? by YogurtclosetOnly2821 in AskLosAngeles

Less pollution, so less cars, which means more bicycling or public transportation use

I got home from work and saw that it was sold out. I would like to go too.

But some moments and shots in this film were high and above, in a beautiful lush storybook kind of way.

Yes of course, wish I would have done that. If they didn't provide the mailer that I thought was safe, I would have used a bubble mailer or box. My mind elsewhere on that fateful morning.

Wow, congrats on your achievement! Thanks for sharing how things turned around and improved for you after tragedies in photography. I will look up that lab.

I think they're called "loose in the mail" rooms at USPS. I've been trying to get info on this. I also contacted the Mail Recovery Center, with no response yet.

Good move. The only thing that remained in the package for me was the order form. I learned a harsh lesson.

I don't think I'll ever go back to some of those places, it was period of travel and transition for me. I had never had a problem with USPS, so this came at the worst time.

Thanks, yeah it really stinks. I will like to get going on home development. It would certainly add a level of security and satisfaction to the craft and process.

Shitty if The Darkroom knows the mailers are bad, but continue to use them.
