Just sticking my nose in here, with a little trepidation, we
are surely aware that there are numerous high quality publications in
Europe, including photographic magazines on sale at Borders and B&N,
and I'm sure they didn't have agents in the US getting film at our local
stores, or having their stuff processed in the US. I think Anthony has a
point.
However, photographers are inherently paranoid about having their
precious films processed somewhere that they don't know or have
experience with. I lost an important roll recently here in California
when the local camera store operative screwed up his mini lab, with a
grossly underdeveloped roll. It can happen anywhere.

The results I've obtained have been extremely consistent. The
process is so
highly automated and consistent that it is far less likely to be messed
up than,
say, the preparation of prints (although recent advances such as the
Fuji
Frontier appear to be making prints nearly as foolproof as
well).
