 FAQ
How to pack records, tapes, and media for shipment.
Congratulations, your old media has survived through the years. Pack it well, so it is not damaged now: There are 3 basic concerns:
1. Waterproof.  Not just from water, but moisture absorption from the air. Seal your media in bags.
2. Shockproof. Not from nuclear attack, just the normal handling during shipment. Provide at least 2 inches of packing material on all SIX SIDES. The most important function of packing material is to assure that spacing from the walls of the box does not change. Packing material also provides cushioning against drops. When using packing peanuts for heavier items, be sure to provide a cardboard barrier on top of the 2 inch bottom layer; this will assure that this layer does not shift up during shipment.  (we often see the contents arrive sitting directly on the bottom of the box and all of the peanuts on top).  UPS provides a great website and additional information about packing at www.ups.com
3. Use the preprinted address label at the top of this page to elliminate errors. Cover it completely with wide clear packing tape to protect it.  Give us a clearly readable Return Address (attach a small return address sticker above), this often a problem.
 
How can I protect my valuable media from loss?
1. Our best advice is to USE OUR ADDRESS LABEL above, that way there cannot be an error. Even when shipping by UPS/Fedex, give them the label above to copy. Problems can occur when the address is incorrect.
2. PACK VERY WELL in a corrugated box in good condition. Do not use non-standard containers such as shoe boxes, foam picnic baskets, loose bags. The most common packing problem we see is using a box that is too small for proper padding around the contects.  Material can be double boxed.
3. USE TRACKING. UPS, Fedex, and some Postal services have full tracking to know exactly where the parcel is at all times (if it should become misrouted, it can be located).  Buy insurance, use delivery confirmation may help.
4. SPLIT THE SHIPMENT. Send your material in 2 shipments on different days. We can ship your new media (DVDs, etc) first and then once you confirm receipt, we can ship the original tapes, etc. There is normally a $4.50 shipping charge for EACH shipment made. Sometimes when the DVDs are received and agreed to be correct, the original tapes are requested to be recycled here at no cost; when this is done- we recommend having a duplicate set of DVDs (or other media) made and put in a safe storage place (you can make them or we can make them).
5. ENCLOSE YOU NAME and ADDRESS and phone number and the Info sheet above with our address on it
IN THE BOX.  If the address label on the box or the box is destroyed, there will be two addresses with the contents for the shipper to use or to make contact with for instructions.
6. On the return trip to you, we have an additional safeguard. We have the digital files recorded from your media which we keep for several weeks after shipment. DVDs can be remade/ files recovered if necessary.
