Thank you, at PreserveMyPictures.com we appreciate the effort and time our customers put in organizing, packing, and shipping their originals. Below are a few helpful tips to ensure that your originals arrive safely.
Organizing your negatives:
Each negative strip will most likely have 4 negative images/photos. Leave
the negatives in their sleeves if they have them.
Cleaning Photos
You don't necessarily need to clean your negatives from dust or debris. To
protect our scanning equipment, we clean all negatives. For fingerprints, or
spills, we use a lint-free cloth; for dust and debris, we use compressed air
to clean. All originals are handled with lint-free gloves.
If you have any question, you may always contact us at info@PreserveMyPictures.com.
Drop Off
When you are ready, give us a call or email to arrange a drop off time.
Packing Slides for Shipment
This is an important step. You must ensure that you use boxes designed for
shipping. Shoe boxes, department store boxes, are not recommended. Also,
make sure to place your negatives (even if they are in their sleeves) in a
plastic or ziploc bag.
Which courier?
We found that Canada Post is the most reliable. Other reliable couriers are
DHL and FedEx. We found that Purolator have been less reliable (customers
paid for next day shipping and the package tends to arrive 3 days later).
Once Your Negatives Arrive
When we receive your originals, we will email you a quote and a sample scan
for your review. Once you approve, we will complete the rest of the order.
Billing is due once project is complete. Upon final payment your discs and
all originals are shipped back. For more info on How It Works,
