What We’ll Do
- Remove slides/photos from containers that don’t fit normal criteria (small per-slide fee).
- Orient every slide so the “screen-facing” side is up for proper scanning.
- Rotate portrait slides so nothing gets cropped by the feeder.
- Create manageable stacks (about 2–4 inches), label them (e.g., 1A, 1B, 1C), then scan.
- Re-band and return stacks with your containers after scanning.
Just check the box on the order form—your work is done.
Shipping & Handling Tips
Use two rubber bands per stack to prevent breakage in transit. If stacks aren’t numbered, we won’t know your intended order—label clearly and note any stacks that belong to the same “show.”
Air-bag packing works well; consider placing stacks in plastic bags if you’re using loose fill. For USPS Priority Mail with free boxes, see shipping ideas.
