Won't the film be damaged when being shipped overseas and subjected to customs x-rays? I plan to have this shipped to Singapore.

I have never had mine damaged in U.S. Mail or in customs from U.S. Territories. I would find out if customs uses X-ray for inspections.

It is not very likely to be damaged or exposed by customs x-rays because it is a low sensitivity film. Higher ISO films such as 800 or higher are likely to be exposed and result in heavy fogging in photos.

I did have not bought this model, but in general, when I have received large items like TVs, they ship in the product box, i.e. there is no extra outer box added by the shipper. This is true of an LCD TV I bought from Amazon last year, as well as other items (monitors and stereo equipment) I have received from other online shippers.The packaging should be fine for protecting the TV. However, if you had concerns because of the seal being broken or other damage to the package, that might be more reason for concern, but assuming it was not tampered-with (because of your comment about the seal), the TV should have been fine.

I freeze mine and it can last pretty much forever if kept frozen. I also keep some in the refrigerator for when I need a roll quickly. B&W films tend to last longer than color films anyway so it should last a while if it's new stock.

Absolutely not at all. Please don't waste your money. I bought 2 packs, both were garbage. The film looks exposed. It's a scam. Once they get your money, because of that tacky disclaimer, it's lost. If you open the film you can't return it but you don't know if the film is bad unless you open the pack. SCAM...

I don't know if it's X-ray proof, but I have never had a problem with mine at the TSA security checkpoint. I usually have one in my camera and two backups in my bag. They have gone through the machine without losing and data on several trips to Texas and Colorado.

Hey, I got mine in Japan like 5 months ago and i never noticed anything wrong with it, but I just noticed a hissing sound that its making, so i shook it and i also noticed that I shake it it does rattle a little, like most of the stuff inside (or maybe at least the lens) has a little wiggle room. It still seems to be working fine, and still takes good photos.

The entire sheet goes on and be sure to only leave image in freezer for specified time bc I left mine in too long and it almost cracked.:)

Pretty sure my was new, packaging and unit looked new. Don't know about the UV bleaching or damaging plastic, my guess is will cause as much damage as sunlight, so minimal to none depending on the quality of the plastic. Don't know about LCD screens, my guess is no, but why would you use it on a LCD screen in the first place?

I wrapped mine in a towel and checked it in my luggage during a deployment overseas. It handled loading, transport, and unloading with no issues. The screen is not glass, but it is definitely not fragile. I can post pictures if you need.

I've taken it through the scanner several times, no problems with my film already loaded into the camera nor the extra packages I was carrying in the bag still in their foil packaging. Hope this helps others!

Yes packing and unpacking you leave creases. When assembling the screen together you have to pull it so tight to snap in place. When showing a movie NO you can't even tell or see any of those creases.

Well the only thing lining the inside is plaster, so if x-ray can see through plaster then no this will not pass customs.

No. You never know what can happen when shipping. It was in a good plastic wrap around it..so tears in the bag would have to do with S&D

Yes. Of course remove the film. It's only for protection during shipping and processing.

Hi John, the film I ordered is Jan 2014, so it was expired when I got it. I believe it was kept in the fridge and I bought it from Ebay. It works great!! =)

The film is not acrylic or glass, so it does not shatter. I have dropped my phone with and without the spigen case and nothing happened to the film.
