How it works

Three steps. No warehouse.

No kits to wait for and no warehouse across the country. Drop off locally and your tapes stay on the South Shore the whole time. Not local? Mail them straight to me.

  1. 1

    Drop off your box

    Pack your items in a box labeled with your name, email and phone number. Leave it in my Marshfield dropbox anytime, book a drop-off appointment in Marshfield or Brighton, or mail it in.

  2. Hands holding an old black-and-white photo over a pile of prints2

    I digitize everything by hand

    Every tape, reel and photo is captured and checked by me, not a warehouse crew. If something needs a repair first, I fix it and let you know.

  3. A USB drive being plugged into a laptop3

    Get your memories back

    Once you’ve paid, your originals come back to the same dropbox along with your files on a USB drive, a DVD set or a download link.

Questions

Good questions.

Can’t find what you need? Ask me directly.

How is pricing calculated?

Orders of 1 to 10 items use simple package pricing: $75 for 1-3 items, $125 for 4-6 items and $185 for 7-10 items, with your storage choice included. Larger orders are $15 per item plus a storage fee based on the number of items.

What counts as one item?

One tape, one film reel, one DVD, one CD or one SD card each count as one item. Photos, slides and negatives are counted in packs of 25, so 60 photos counts as 3 items.

What do I get back?

Your original items, plus your digital files on a USB drive (my recommendation), a DVD set, or a download link (it works for 1 week). Video comes back as MP4 files and photos and slides as high-resolution JPEGs, all of which play on any PC or Mac.

Do I need an appointment to use the Marshfield dropbox?

No. Place your order online and I’ll email you the dropbox code and instructions. You can drop off anytime. Boxes up to 18 x 18 x 10 inches fit.

How long does it take?

Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from when I have your items. Need it sooner? Expedited turnaround is 1 week for a flat $50 per order. You choose when you place your order.
