How do I place an order?
To place an order, please complete our simple online order form. You will receive a confirmation email with further instructions to print and include in your package to us.
How should I ship my package to you?
You may use the courier of your choice with a tracking service recommended. Please print the email you receive after submitting your order form and include it in your package(s). We recommend using a new and sturdy box, rather than a reused box. Packing with bubble wrap offers the best protection, and avoid Styrofoam packing peanuts. Use padding around the inside of the box with the materials in the center and fill the box to prevent it from crushing. We will confirm by email when your package arrives. Once your project is finished, return shipping is added to your final invoice.
Can you dispose of my items once they are digitized?
No. Our company policy is to always return all original media submitted to us as agreed upon in our order terms and conditions. We do not offer disposal services for various liability and logistical reasons and encourage our clients to retain original media as there is no recourse after disposal.
When and how do I make payment?
Prepayment is not required for our services, except for projects estimated at more than $500, for which we will request a 50% deposit of the estimate. Once your project has been completed, we will send you a payment request via Square and can accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express. Payments via PayPal or check are also accepted.
Do you accept Canadian and international orders?
We can accept international orders, however we require either a domestic US or APO/FPO address for return shipment.
How are the digital files returned to me?
We output your digital files to either an appropriately sized USB flash drive and/or a digital download link via Dropbox.
Can I provide my own hard drive for you to put my transfers on?
Client-provided flash drives or hard drives are not accepted for various liability reasons. We offer output options to an appropriately sized USB drive as well as an online download option.
