Ahh okay, so I have a B&W film that I need to get developed. I tried Walmart but they said they'll have it ready in 2 WEEKS, and I need it before that. And plus you can't just get it developed, you have to buy the prints too, but I don't care much about the prints. Is there anywhere else I could get my B&W film developed probably in less than 3 days?
EDIT: Oh boohoo, this place is no help. Houston Camera Exchange disappoints me greatly too. They don't process B&W film AT ALL. :/

first, wally world is rumored to do developing only.
second, is your film true b&w or b&w c41 process?
third, try az labs, across the street from the coop if true b&w. if c41, take to walgreens or cvs.
fourth, do it yourself or see if someone here would help you (not sure if your attitude will help with this). i could do it in about 15 minutes.
fifth, welcome. | | | |

What they ^^^ said.
You could visit Houston Camera Co-op and obtain all of the required stuff to do it yourself in about 15 minutes. Then in about 2 dozen rolls or less you would know all there is to know to develop B&W film forever.
How will you print? Pure analog? Or analog to digital?
Planning ahead is your friend.
ps: Google had all of the above information prior to your post.

You are disappointed with others when you did not plan? If you shoot film you need to plan on 4+ weeks. You shot film and expected to get it developed quickly and not do it yourself? two+ weeks to be developed and contact sheet printed and then another two weeks for printing. | | | |

By all means, we must be fair! Grinning.
I bet a roll of 120 film of your choice, from my stash, we never hear from Nicole (VanillaMist) again.

We've known that for about 6 months. Some folks even drove to Parsons, KS to turn in their film the morning of 12/30/2010. I would have made that trip if I hadn't used all of my vacation back in November.

Hi Nicole,
Welcome to the site.
They are treating you a little rough for some reason.
If you read down this far, here are two places to try. PhotoSource AZPhoto LLP, Houston, Texas
Don't worry, not all of us are as mean spirited.
