I agree with nearly everything you say, but one thing is different:
My slide films are (slightly) curved, when developed in a dip- and - dunk- processor,
and they are completely flat, when developed in a big lab with roller machines...
I made this experience

Any good tips for flattening negatives before you scan them? When I get
negatives

Hi, Ed,
I just store them laid flat in the paper sleeves they come in for a week
or so which significantly reduces curl. If stored this way for a longer
period, e.g. a month or so, they're almost
First advice is go to a better lab:) That's not a normal result.
If you can tape the film edges in the carrier that's one way. Otherwise
about all you can do that doesn't risk damage is to flatten with weight and
wait, or get a glass carrier.

If the negs are really bowed, speak to your lab. They are using
incorrect drying technique. Chances are they are using too hot a
temperature, or the drying is being done unevenly.
All force-dried negs tend to have a bit of a curve, but if it is severe,
they need to change who they are doing
