Pricing questions
Fair questions.
Not sure what your order comes to? Ask me or call or text 339-236-6543.
What counts as one item?
One tape or film reel counts as one item. DVDs, CDs and SD cards count 2 to an item, and photos, slides and negatives 25 to an item, so 60 photos counts as 3 items.
Can I mix different kinds of media?
Yes. A package is just a number of items, so 2 VHS tapes and a pack of 25 photos is 3 items and fits the Shoebox package.
What if my count turns out different from my order?
The price on the order form is an estimate based on the counts you enter. I count everything when your box arrives, and your invoice is based on my count.
Do you charge for blank tapes?
No. If a tape turns out to be blank, you aren’t charged for it.
Can I get my files on more than one thing?
Yes. Your package includes one storage option (USB drive, DVD set or download). Each extra option, for example a USB drive and a DVD set, adds one more storage fee.
How long does it take?
Standard turnaround is 2 to 3 weeks from when I have your items. Expedited is 1 week for a flat $50 per order.
When and how do I pay?
Nothing up front. I send an invoice when your order is finished. I accept Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, cash, check and PayPal (PayPal adds 3%). Your items come back once it’s paid.
What if a tape is broken or moldy?
I repair damaged tapes and reels whenever possible. A $25 repair fee is added for any tape or reel that needs it.
Ready when your tapes are.
Start your order online, drop your box off anytime, and pay when your memories are ready.
