Jaime,

I have been using Kodak's processing labs in both Findlay, Ohio and Rochester,
NY for all my slide work for several years now.  This was due to the problems
that I encountered with local labs ( scratched slides, off-color processing,
dusty mounts).

I buy my film from the New York discount, mail-order places that advertise in
Modern Photography.  When you buy the film with Kodak processing, each roll
comes with a mailing envelope that you use to send the film to the lab.
If you buy film locally, you can also buy mailers to get the processing.
Buying from NY provides a savings: total cost of ~6.50 vs. ~8.00 for
film and mailer locally.  Camera store will also send work to Kodak for
you, but at high cost.
The time delay is about 8 days to Findlay.  I have never lost a roll of
film and have sent about 150 rolls to them.  If you send a number of
rolls in the same box, they will be processed and returned together.
