I have only used two mail order photo houses, both in New York:  Adorama and
Honest Abe's Focus.  Both delivered the ordered items within a week and I
had no problems getting what I wanted.  But the manner of the people on the
toll-free lines of both places was very gruff.  When I asked about shipping
and handling, they were reluctant to estimate even though they must know since
they ship orders all day long.  I also think that shipping and handling is their
fudge factor, where they make up some for their low advertised prices.  Six
dollars shipping and handling for ten rolls of KR135-36 seems like a lot to me.
