- Turnaround is currently stored as 1 week; confirm current queue times before dropping off time-sensitive rolls.
- Walk-in is marked as accepted, making it suitable for local drop-off and pickup.
- E-6 support is flagged; slide-film shooters should still confirm current E-6 schedule before ordering.
