This is hardly a scientific test, but it is worth taking into consideration with other reports that something is not right with film ordered from Amazon. As part of his report,‘s Stan Horaczek added that, anecdotally, he has experienced similar issues from the massive online retailer.
“I had a very similar experience just a few years ago when I got a great deal on 20 rolls of Kodak Ultra Max 400 from Amazon, only to find out that it had almost certainly suffered heat damage,” he writes. Horaczek says that at least some of the issues with ordering film through Amazon might stem from the fact that it’s not necessarily Amazon that is storing the film, but how third-party sellers who list film on the marketplace treat it. That said, if issues are arising from any film labeled “shipped and sold by Amazon,” that would fall on the Seattle-based online marketplace.
Film is difficult to heat damage through shipping. As Horaczek points out, heat fluctuations are bound to occur during shipping. Very infrequently is film moved on refrigerated trucks. In order to cause the kind of damage Coastal Film Lab and others are seeing, the film would have to be exposed to very high temperatures for long periods of time.
Film buyers who are worried about the quality of purchased film should absolutely take Coastal Film Lab’s advice and buy from a trusted, local distributor. All others who can’t will likely find great results from longstanding photography dealers
