It takes over two weeks to receive my slides when I use the mailers. Have you tried Costco? They take Kodachrome and it takes one week only ( or less). They come back in the Kodak box, so I assume they went to the Kodak lab. It costs about a buck more than the mailers. I bought a bunch of mailers not knowing it would take 2+ weeks for the processing. Why can Costco get it done faster than a direct mailer? When I run out of mailers I think I will go back to Costco.

I've given Kodak far more opportunities than A&I to screw up and both have managed to provide less-than-optimal results. On the whole though, the vast majority of the work from either lab has been fine. Here on the left coast, the turnaround using A&I is better by at least a week, but since A&I's mailers are generally a bit more $$ than Kodak's and the turnaround time isn't a big deal for most of my work, I'm using Kodak most.
