I believe this person is saying that they are using the Kodak lab only
because it is hard to find other labs that process Kodachrome, and that
they would otherwise not have to put up with the scratches and dust that
Kodak is reputed to have more problems with than many other labs.
Admittedly this is not a fault of Kodachrome but of the lab that most
people use for Kodachrome.

In my experience Fuji does better job overall than Kodak if one wishes
to use mailers for non-Kodachrome films, and better yet a good local lab
that treats film well can usually be found for non-Kodachrome (E-6)
slide films. -Linda
