Latest update – July 2026

 

 

A friendly note as you buy

 

 

We’re not quite as fast as Amazon...yet!

 

By the end of last month, we had completed more than 60,000 shipments to 100+ countries around the world.

 

We’re still receiving orders at a rate we could never ever have anticipated.

 

As one reviewer recently said, “The Essential Film Holder is THE ‘go-to’ film holder for camera scanning”.

 

Five-star recognition from the UK’s Amateur Photographer, together with many reviews on YouTube, blogs, and Reddit has helped keep order volumes high.

 

 

Please check our live Dispatch Status page for the current estimated dispatch time.

 

Thank you for your patience. We are working as efficiently as possible, and your EFH unit, masks and accessories will be dispatched as soon as possible.

 

 

You can add extra masks immediately after purchasing your Essential Film Holder.

Why does it still take Sooo long?

We know you are keen to get your hands on your Essential Film Holder. We understand that.

 

Please do not expect Amazon Prime-style next-day delivery. That is simply not how EFH orders are prepared and dispatched.

 

Each film holder is packed in-house - and I mean literally in our house, so please bear with us. We carefully check each pre-built unit, testing with film before packing.

This page also gives you the latest shipping information and details of any courier-related challenges.

 

If your order has not been dispatched by the estimate shown on the live Dispatch Status page, please feel free to email me for an update.

 

Contacting me shortly after purchase will not change your place in the dispatch queue. Please check the live Dispatch Status page for the current situation.

 

Can I expedite the shipping for my delivery?

Yes, you can.

 

Contact me and I will give you a price for expedited delivery using a premium courier service.

 

As a guide, the expedited shipping service typically costs a flat-rate £25 and normally takes around five days.

Note that courier delays cannot always be predicted or controlled.

 

 

Can I cancel my order after purchasing?

Having read the above, we hope you don’t feel the need to cancel, and that the short wait will be worth it.

 

However, as with any “distance purchase”, cancellation rights vary by location. UK consumers normally have the right to cancel within 14 days of delivery.

 

A copy of the Terms and Conditions will be emailed to you immediately after order placement.

 

 

Please note that if we’ve shipped your EFH, then you will need to send back your parcel before we issue a refund.
