Moody's Film Lab - Burien, Washington

I have now developed 21 rolls of film at Moody’s since august. They pick up from the drop box at Porchlight on Mondays and Fridays. A link to the scans usually comes within 5 days of pickup, sometimes even less (wow, you must be working so hard!). If you have a complicated order or any confusion about the film or turnaround is more than a week, just text them. It’s a small local mom n pop business and the customer service is great. I don’t expect this to continue but they have been scanning my half frame exposures individually which is twice the work. Thank you Moody’s!! I can also say that they cultivate a community around film with their business partners- when I go into Porchlight, I can really learn and get excited about film by talking to the employees there.

My only reservation is that prints are not their specialty - development and scanning is amazing quality but you’ll be better off with the colors of skin tones and sharpness if you order prints from Nations or Mpix for $.40 per 4x6.

Incredible turn around time and super easy process using the drop box in Ballard! I haven’t done any shopping around but it seems like a great deal for the quality of service Ive received. I’ve dropped off film three times so far and have never had any issues. Would recommend to everyone!

I had a terrible first experience and won’t be using Moody’s again. I sent in 8 rolls of film. A huge sale. The turnaround was over a month for scans, and another month for prints because the first package was sent to the wrong address. That package was never retrieved and I lost my negatives. The prints I got were half matte, half gloss. There were a lot of scans that I didn’t get printed and vice versa, leading me to believe I didn’t get all of my pictures. They offered partial refund and I never got that either.

Not so good experience. First, I had to contact them if they have even recieved my order after about a week of hearing nothing. (I assumed it must have been lost) and they told me they have just recieved it and it should be processed soon. That was also delayed.

After over a week of recieving my photos via WeTransfer, they seem to have forgotten about my prints. So I had to contact them again to which they replied, we will send them tomorrow. Really seemed they have forgotten about my order.

The whole proccess took about 1 month...

The worst part is the quality of my prints. They were not printed on the correct size for the size of my film. I cried a little, because I wanted to take a chance with this small business and spend my saved up money for my side hobby.

I have found more affordable places and will not be sending my film here.

I've had several rolls developed via Moody's drop box at KEXP and I get my pictures back so fast! Between that, the fair pricing, and the smooth process they've become my go-to.

Simply the best. These guys work extra hard to ensure quick turnaround time. Always awesome.
