WALKENS House of Film reviews
30Awesome service and good prices. I have getting back into film after a long lay off and these guys have been brilliant. Super fast fulfilling orders, and next day delivery! Highly recommended.
Visited yesterday to buy a camera and some film and it was such a good experience! The boys working behind the counter were super helpful and the shop is so nice!
Asked why the price advertised on their website was 7 dollars cheaper than at the store. Got the rudely toned response “if you can buy it for that on our website, good luck to you buddy”. Unfortunately customer service is extremely pretentious and self important.
Passed by the store today and saw two staff members present with the doors open. Asked them if I could quickly ask a question in regards to an invoice for a camera that I had dropped off over the weekend to be developed. One staff rudely ushered me away and told me she was on break, whilst the other behind the desk barked she was too busy to answer questions. First time customer and won’t be coming back, staff are rude and clearly have better things to do than serve paying customers.
I’ve ordered film a couple of times and it’s always been a really easy, efficient process. The packaging is super cute too!
Walkens House of Film is a very reliable and efficient source for delivery of photographic products.
Just got my 1st film back from Walkens, taken with my 50 year old Rollei 35 - I know its partly the camera's doing but very pleased with the results, brilliant colours and definition and excellent service.
Holy Dooley that was fast - Melbourne->Brisbane overnight. Very well priced and stocked considering the current shortages.
I have just returned to using 35mm film after many years of digital happy snaps - Walkens is an excellent and prompt film development/delivery business - I will certainly continue to take advantage of their service.
A great example of a well run Aussie company. Great service, prices and communication! I’m in Tasmania but wouldn’t even think about dealing with anybody else.
Really friendly staff, the price is reasonable and I love the whole space! Film enthusiast, one place you won’t wanna miss out!
Love, WALKENS House of Film, great service, fast and reliable. Highly recommend. If you need film then you need WALKENS!

I've never set foot in this store, as I'm 1000 miles away, but they have been exemplary shipping me film in well-packaged boxes and with generous expiry dates. Prices are just and quality excellent. Additionally their boxes are fun, and you can reverse them and ship rolls back for development, with their address already printed. Brilliant! Better box design than even Apple) And you get a cool sticker with your film order as well. Guys, you are brilliant, keep the film coming
Great experience ordering film, a nice selection of products in stock and fast shipping / delivery!
Great location for a range of film types and friendly service.
Recommended for anyone in the lookout for some film either in store or online.
It's a fun looking location for photographers to visit also.
You’ll get what you pay for, but unfortunately there’s 0 communication involved.
If you have any issues with your order there’s no way you’ll be able to contact them to sort it out.
Ordered with the wrong address? They won’t help.
Want to combine separate orders? They won’t help.
The only time I’ve EVER gotten a response from them was in regards to stock becoming available again, so their only interest is potential customers. Once you’ve paid, they really could care less.
Queued for 20 mins with one person in front of me to grab one roll of film. Could’ve taken 20 seconds, but instead had to pretend I’m invisible while this chick behind the counter lazily and casually indulged every question to a ridiculous extent.like some part of the artesenal shopping experience is deliberately being made to wait.
Excellent range of films and chemistry. Super fast order processing and shipping. Thoroughly recommended.
