My slides are housed in carousels, magazines or protective slide display pages, what should I send?
We accept carousels, magazines and protective slides. As part of our scanning process we will remove the slides from their packaging and do not gurantee that they will be returned in the same order as they were received. Regardless of how you ship them, please secure them tight using rubber bands and wrap them in plastic. Slides, negatives and prints are very durable and do not need excessive protection, but they should be well packaged.
We recommend that you remove slides from carousels (which have significant cost in shipping). If you do decide to ship your slides in carousels, then we will charge you a surcharge of $4.95. If you have slides in magazines or slide display pages, you may ship them in that manner with no surcharge. Alternately you can package your slides in aluminum foil boxes. This will be much cheaper for shipping. Regardless of how you ship them, please insure to secure them tightly with rubber bands or wrap them in saran wrap to prevent the images from shifting around during shipping. Slides, negatives and prints are very durable and don’t require excess protection while shipping – but you should put them in Ziploc bags to protect from any inadvertent spills on the delivery truck. A single layer of bubble wrap or newspaper will generally suffice for protection in the box. Never send your order in bubble mailers – always use a certified shipping box.
