How We Compare Against The “Box” or "Mill" Companies
In your research for a reputable transfer facility, you may have come across businesses offering to digitize anything you can fit in one of their “boxes” for a set price. Although these appear like good bargains on the surface, there are several issues that frequently go unnoticed until they have your media in their facility.
Truth is, these services are rarely ever a good deal, and it is nearly impossible to reach a live person on the phone, let alone who specifically handles your media. They will usually request payment upfront, then you wait for the box, fill it (adhering to their ‘item’ limits) and send it back to them. Once you send them your media, it will usually take a current average of 3-4 months to get your media back. It is usually subpar once you do receive it back, as we have regularly received calls and orders from unsatisfied customers of these companies. Often, they end up shipping us the direct order (same box and all) to us to fix what wasn't done right,
