I placed an order over 4 weeks ago and have not heard a thing, besides a reply to one email saying my films would be sent, then nothing. I am going to file a dispute with my card provider to try... See more

I really like the concept! I deducted 1 star just because being in the US, it is a little weird to get film from the UK (some of which will undoubtedly come from a certain US film company). Biggest... See more

The packages came on time, and I loved the additional pin that came with the first box! I just wish there would be more experimental film featured, as I bought the subscription as a way to try out new... See more

Dont waste your money!

Signed up for the monthly film subscription, received the first 2 months films no problem. 3rd order has been left on processing for a full month now, ive emailed several times and tried to contact on social media aswell all to no avail. Absolutely fuming!

Sorry Phil,

I'm from Ukraine and I don't want to use this as an excuse. However, every other day I was worried about my family's wellbeing and whether they would be ok. I'm sorry that your box arrived slightly later that expected. It did arrive as we're trying to send out subscription boxes once a month.

Thanks,
Taras

Simply the best film subscription available!

Just simply more personal and better than any other 35mm film subscription around. The Cool Film Club goes that extra mile for its subscribers and customers generally in my experience - that’s why I only buy my film from them. I prefer supporting a small independent supplier.

A great way to try out new film each…

A great way to try out new film each month. The film descriptions that comes with them are super helpful to get the most out of the films and the occasional additional surprise goodie is an amazing touch.

Not dependable and poor communication

I placed an order over a month ago, got charged for it, and have gotten no updates. The order has been in a “processing” status since I placed it. I reached out to the company email, Instagram, and Facebook for help, and have yet to receive a response. Extra annoyed since this was a gift.

I really like the concept

I really like the concept, but I received two cheap rolls of film in my first premium package so I'm really looking forward to the next one

Not a good first impression!

My web experience was not good. Went through the ordering process and when I went to pay I got a message to say order not processed. Tried again and got similar result. Went to another supplier as I needed some film.
Checked email some minutes later to find order acceptance from both sites. As it happens I could afford to spend £130 on film that month, but could have been very embarrassing. Cool Film delivery was about 5-6 days after other film arrived.
Not a good first impression.

Hi Pete. We're so sorry about your experience. This is not the feedback we're aiming for. We could do better with your order. However, we refused you for all the films that we didn't have in stock. Thanks for your feedback! We hope that you will give us another go.

Absolutely love it

Really happy with the box! Got two films I’ve never used before, packaging is great had a lovely Diane Arbus quote on it! If you like shooting film you should subscribe to this box it’s amazing!

Unorganized

This isn’t usually the case with this company, but I’ve lived in Maine for over a year and recently moved. Before hand I made sure to change my address to the one I was moving to. I’ve been out of Maine for 2 almost 3 months now and I have yet to receive a shipment since the last one. I reached out to rectify the situation and still I haven’t received anything. If this is how it’s going to be from now on I want to cancel my subscription.

Hi Zachary. As you mentioned in the review, this is not the case with us. I sent you an email and we will make sure that your future boxes go to the new address. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

Always a pleasure

Always a pleasure to find 2 two rolls of 120 film in the mailbox (or have the mail man hand it over to you because it does not fit the through the slit).
Good service and nice people!

Love it

I am from Switzerland and everything works out great every time. It's on time, in good shape and different one every time. Looking forward for the next package!
