How should I ship my pictures?

First of all, fill out our Photo Restoration Request Form so that we know how you would like your photograph restored. Then you can send us your photograph(s) by one of the following methods:

Shipping prints through the Mail

Place a protective sheet of paper (roughly the same size as the picture) over the face of the picture to avoid scratching
Sandwich the protective sheet and the picture between two pieces of cardboard (or rigid paper) that are cut to be roughly the same size as the picture
Tape the edges of the cardboard pieces
Use a bubble-wrap envelope, or one designed for mailing photographs
Label the envelope with something such as "Fragile"
Call us at (301) 873-3983 for mailing instructions

2. We Provide You the Cost for the Restoration

After we receive your photograph it will be examined, and we will provide you with the cost for the restoration. If you accept the price, we will begin working on restoring your photograph, and subsequently send you a proof copy (see below).

If you are not happy with the price, we can work with you to reduce the scope of work which would lead to a reduced price. If you are still not happy with the price, we will return your photograph if it was mailed (not Emailed) to us. If it was sent via Email, we will make sure to delete it.
