On leaving Waterloo station follow the signs for the Old Vic Theatre, which is at the intersection of Waterloo Road and The Cut. To the left of the Theatre and next to the Theatre Box Office is Webber Street. Valentine Place is the 3rd street on the left along Webber Street just past a pub called The Stage Door.

↑Back to FAQ menu

Can you ship chemicals outside UK?

While Silverprint aims to supply as wide a range of photo materials as possible to as many territories as possible, we are totally committed to safe and legal practices, and for this reason we are unable to ship any raw chemicals outside the borders of the UK
Numerous restrictions and regulations govern the international transport of chemical products. This includes very specific requirements regarding labelling and packaging; in most cases primary and secondary packaging are required which meet rigid specifications.
This legislation imposes restrictions that make it impossible (at reasonable cost) to internationally ship small quantities of photographic chemicals legally. Conversely, to comply totally with the requirements would make these shipments uneconomical.

↑Back to FAQ menu

Is there anything you can't ship?

Yes, unfortunately, we can't send 5 litres bottles of liquid chemicals with Parcel Force. If you're in the London area, we arrange for a parcel car to deliver to you.

For international orders we don't send any chemicals (liquid or powder) outside the UK.
