Optional Add On Services What are these?
Optional Add On Services
Elite Concierge Expert Service
+ $12.95 per order
Concierge expert to seamlessly oversee your order, from start to finish.
Express Scanning
+ 10¢ per scan
Add the Express Scanning service that treats you to special privileges and custom services throughout the scanning process so your order is professionally scanned as the next order in line regardless of when it arrived. Otherwise, your order will be processed shipped out when completed, typically within 4 to 8 weeks of receipt. Adds 10¢ per scan. (Final completion time based on size of order.)
Scanning in Order
+7¢ per scan
Most popular add-on. If you need your slides to be scanned in a specific order, you must order the 'Scan in Order' service. Ordering the 'Scanning in Order' service will let the scanning technician know that you need to have your slides scanned in the order you have specified. NOTE: We will attempt our best to keep your slides in the same order for return shipping but this is not guaranteed. This service is only for scanning your slides in the specified order.
Image Rotation
+ 10¢ per slide
Additional 10¢ per slide. Charge is for all slides scanned, not just slides that need rotating as we have to go through all files to find the images that need to be rotated upright upon completion of scanning.
Photo Index Book
+ $69.95 per 1,000 slides scanned
Order a Photo Index Book for $95.50 per 1,000 slides scanned. Pages are double sided and bound in a hard cover book with 25 images per 8½'' x 11'' page. Image rotation is NOT included with an order of the Photo Index Book from slides scanned. Additional copies of the same book are $69.95 per 1,000 scans.

Have your scanned slides also saved to DVD for $9.95 per DVD.

Delivery Signature Confirmation
+ $14.95
Signature confirmation service is HIGHLY recommended to ensure delivery of your slides back to you and only you. Otherwise the USPS carrier may just leave your box on your porch/mailbox leaving it susceptible to weather or theft.

Do you have a small collection of slides to scan – or a really large collection that your family has saved for decades? Our flexible Pay-Per-Slide Service is perfect for you.

Pricing is as low as 21 cents per slide for 2,000 dpi (see our pricing chart below for more information). While you may send us slides in carousel, boxes, or sleeves, please read our guidelines for how to prepare your slides for scanning before you pack them up and ship them to us.

How it works

  • Place your order today and you will be charged our minimum fee as a deposit which will be credited back to you once the order is complete (if applicable).
  • Be sure to include a copy of your invoice with your order so we can match up your order to our system. If not included, it may cause delays as we try to figure out who the shipment belongs to. This step is ABSOLUTELY necessary when the return address on the shipment does not match our customer records, as when shipped from a UPS store, for example.
  • Once received, we will contact you notifying you of its arrival.
  • Upon completion, your credit card will be charged the appropriate shipping charges and any overage beyond the minimum fee.
  • Due to swift changes in technology, your shipment must be postmarked within 30 days of the purchase date. If postmarked after, the pricing for our services on the day it is postmarked will be in effect.

Important Notes

Our scanners are set up to scan standard 35mm slides. If we receive 126mm mounted slides, some of your image will be cropped off the top and bottom while some of the slide mount will be scanned on the right and left. Similarly, if we receive 110 mounted slides, your image will be smaller with a large black border on all sides. We cannot alter this. See the image below for diagrams showing the crop and an example of what the scan looks like.

126 slide versus 135 slideSample scan from a 126mm slide
110 slide versus 135 slideSample scan from a 110 slide

Slides that are double mounted (see below) must be removed from metal mounts prior to submission for scanning. Any slide received still mounted in the metal bracket will not be scanned.
