Northern California K14 processing is through the Hayward mini K-lab, which doesn't accept mailers. My choice boils down to either using the mailers I bought very inexpensively, or pay twice as much for local processing and shooting lots less film. For now I'm stockpiling exposed rolls of film until I have several, then FedEx-ing the lot with mailers to NJ.
