 Processing turn around times went from one week
to two weeks three years or so back but now they have jumped to FIVE weeks!
The store I deal with said the two week time was due to it having to be
sent
to the eastern USA.  Canada lost both its plants a while ago. Now that it
is
five weeks they speculated that it had to go to Europe! Is this the end of
Kodachrome. Are there no more plants in North America? If you have heard
anything I would be grateful for news.

I've been using the prepaid mailers (purchased from B&H, New York) and
sending them to New Jersey.  Turnaround from California to New Jersey and
back has been about 10 days to two weeks.  The mail gets to New Jersey in
about 3 days; assuming another 3 days to get back here, that leaves 4 days
for processing.  I doubt New Jersey is sending them to Europe.
