I thought it appropriate, given the "gloom and doom" stories about the "Big Yellow K" to add a more positive note.
I decided to order my latest batch of Super-8 Ekta 100D (one box, 20 rolls) directly from them. I went with regular UPS Ground shipping (about 3 days estimate from NY to DC) but the box nonetheless arrived the following day; it had been sent out immediately.
A problem arose: the paperwork was correct, saying "Ekta" but the stock in the box was Vision3 200-ASA Tungsten Negative...good film, but not what I needed.
After calling Kodak, they re-processed the order and got a new box going even before they received my stock back.
UPS was told to pick up the Vision3 box when dropping off the Ekta, and they overnighted the Ekta; now, one day later, it sits in my fridge. Many companies wouldn't have managed to send even one package in the 3-day span it took to fulfill this order.
Keep in mind, this was just a $300 order, not someone in LA wanting 10-15,000 feet of 35mm negative. Comparatively, I am a small potato in a very big field...and yet I got treated as if any delay could be crucial.
That is taking care of your customers!
Thank you, Kodak.
Claus.
