I had pretty good luck with the Frugal Photographer, despite UPS' best 
efforts to destroy my shipment of 777.

UPS blows. Over the past few years they've managed to destroy several of my 
packages and  they are never on time 
FedEx is much, much better.

I hope you have better luck than I did with the Frugal Photographer. His
packing of the film and developer I ordered wasn't *nearly* robust enough to
withstand the abuse and trauma of the imbeciles at the USPS. When I received
the package, its remains had been put in a plastic bag with a form notice
from the USPS explaining how hard their job is. The package looked like
someone had stood on it and then kicked it for about half a mile. Every film
contained had been "popped" and every film cassette was bent and
lightstruck. Amazingly, the developer was still in its bottle. Wish I had
something to develop in it.

Even the most incompetent USPS worker could not have accidentally done this
