Yes, this is so simple.
From France I have to pay 1.25 euro extra for postage to Lausanne, the
beloved Case Postale CH-1001, Lausanne, Swiss Confederation.
So the overall price to pay for my 39 slides (I use a Rollei 35 and
always manage to get 39 slides for 36 ;-) is what you can compute from
the process-paid price of your best European Kodachrome dealer ; plus,
for me, 1.25 euro.
It takes about 12-13 days altogether to come back home after a complex
journey, crossing the snowy Jura on a mule's back, then after a
check-point at Renens (VD), be stuffed inside a container at Zurich
airport, eventually reach Kansas by a pionneer's horse-wagon, be
processed there by proud and beloved craftsmen that we wish to support
faithfully, then back to the Swiss Riviera, and back to my remote place
re-crossing the Jura.
But this is so convenient.
There are no longer any local E6 lab in my town, I have to mail order
and mail-send everything for slide film and slide processing. Now we
have to think in terms of a global European market, including Kansas
which really deserves to be considered as a Western appendix of
Canton-de-Vaud, Switzerland ;-)
So as paradoxical at it may seem, 135 Kodachrome Kansas-processed-paid
is an excellent choice for me both in terms of price & service.
