You can order by phone if you prefer. We don't have a phone order taking service, we answer the phone ourselves. Our business hours are 9am-5pm M-F EST. Since we get a lot of robocalls, we set up automated call screening. When asked, please type in the number it gives you and the call will ring through. If we don't answer, please leave a message and we'll call you back. 1-989-777-7050
- Your order does not need to be precise. Adjustments can be made after we receive the items you want digitized.
- To prevent fake orders, you only need to pay $10 towards the return S&H upfront. We will invoice you for everything else after our services are complete. (The return S&H cost will be the actual postage plus $5 per shipping package. The minimum return S&H is $10.)
- If you don't want to pay $10 upfront, you can just mail us your photos and we will send you an invoice when our services are complete. Please include all of your contact information with your photos (name, mailing address, phone number and email address). Please also Contact Us to let us know you are sending us your photos and the approximate quantity so we can try to keep our turnaround times accurate.

- Please estimate the total number of printed photos (photo prints), negative film frames, slides and other items you want scanned into digital image files. The estimate helps us plan for your order. The exact quantities will be on the final invoice.
- Add to your cart the estimated quantity of each type of item being scanned and the resolution (PPI) that you want. What is PPI? Read about our different resolution (PPI) options HERE.
- Add to your cart any of our other services that you want (Photo Restoration or VHS Tape Digitizing).
- Add either the DVD (not a movie) or USB Flash Drive to your Cart (or both if you want). This is how you will receive your scanned digital image files (not a movie). You only need to add one to your cart now and we will adjust the quantity on the final invoice after we know the exact amount of space needed. If you forget to add it to your order, we will add it to your final invoice. More information can be found HERE.
- If you want Digital ICE dust and scratch technology (free service) used on your color negatives and color slides (excluding exceptions), then add it to your cart (if you don't add it to your order, Digital ICE will not be used). For photo slides, Kodachrome, unlabeled Kodachrome and black and white slides need to be sorted out and grouped. Learn how to identify unlabeled Kodachrome slides HERE. Read about Digital ICE HERE.
- If you want 20 reduced size sample scanned photos (free service) sent to your email address, then add it to your cart. Please watch your junk mail for our emails. Please clearly group and label the photos you want sent to you as samples. See Packing Tips starting at #13 for instructions. After you see the photos and give us your approval, we will continue scanning the rest of your order. For privacy and security reasons, other than sample photos, we do not send your photos to any internet based cloud or anywhere on the World Wide Web.
- TIF File Format (48-bit Color): All scanning orders receive the Original scanned digital image files in the JPG file format and the Corrected scanned digital image files in the JPG file format. If you also want the Original scanned digital image files in the TIF file format scanned at 48-bit Color, add "Include TIF File Format" to your cart and you will receive the Original JPG, Corrected JPG and Original TIF scanned digital files. The additional cost is 5¢ per scanned item. What are JPG and TIF files? What are JPG and TIF file formats?
