Here, we will explore some ways in which you can send your 35mm or 120mm film for development in Sri Lanka. We will discuss how you can send it to Analog Dreamz.

SL Speed Post

This is a service run by Sri Lanka Post, so it is available everywhere. You can visit any post office in Sri Lanka to use the service.

It will cost around Rs. 200 to send a package, and usually, it will be delivered within 2 days.

You can ask for an envelope with bubble wrap for just Rs. 90, or you can bring your own.

Make sure to ask for Speed Post since other types of services do not provide a tracking code and may not be reliable.

Using a Courier Service

There are several courier services that deliver packages throughout Sri Lanka. The cost may vary between 400–1000 Rupees, and delivery times can take up to 2 days.

The biggest benefit is that they will come to your location to collect the package. Always ask if there is an additional cost for this service.

Here is a list of a few such services:

Don’t Forget to Add Details and Notify Us

When sending the package, please be sure to include a note containing information on how to develop your film. For detailed guidelines, please refer to the “Send Your Film” page on our website.
