First, they are incredibly slovenly and you should never darken their door again. The second option is that your camera has some crud in the film path. Camera crud is easily checked by running a roll in and out and then looking at it; no need to develop the roll. No scratches, not your problem see number 1. This is one of those things that I take very seriously. If you are a pro lab then the film is pristine. If the film is not pristine then they are not a pro lab. E-6 here in Atlanta had a power failure during the processing of a major order(more than an hundred rolls) in which 5-6 rolls were ruined. Although it was not their fault, they comped the whole order as they take real pride in the quality of their output.
