HOW IT WORKS

Step One: Order Online

Select the options you’d like and place your order (this part is kinda important!) For each option available we also provide you with a choice when ordering on how you want your negatives returned either 1st class or signed for.

When your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email with a receipt and order number. 

Step Two: Package up your film and post it off

Package your film(s) up in a secure, padded envelope or parcel box and remember to enclose your printed receipt. If you don’t have a printer to hand then just please ensure that you enclose your Order Number and return address details when sending your films.

Send your films to us at:

River & Coast, Unit 2 Cumberland Rd, North Shields, NE29 8RD

We would always recommend using a tracked service to provide a bit more peace of mind when sending film to us and very importantly you must make sure to include the correct amount of postage for your parcel – a first class stamp won’t cut it!

If however you are local to the lab then you can also simply drop your film(s) off with us!

Step Three: Receive your orders

When we receive your film orders, you will be sent an email notification that your precious film is with us and ready to go into the lab.

When developed your film will be scanned, printed or simply posted back to you – depending on what you’ve chosen.

We will send your scanned photos to your email address via WeTransfer and then ship your negatives and/or prints to your shipping address. All within 5 working days of receiving your film!
