Shame labs are not consistent. It's not that hard to check chemicals and clean racks. Saving a few bucks to get let get ruined. Also do check your cameras, though that's usually not the problem. I worked at a labs for yrs and know that most do not clean their cameras. I've seen everything from film pieces to cocaine(don't ask) inside cameras. Coke can scratch films easily.
