How To Ship Your Negative Film Safely To ScanCanada

If you follow these safe shipping tips, your negatives will arrive safely – guaranteed.

Here are the details..

1. Shipping Tips – Don'ts

Do not use a shoe box to put your negatives in – they are not sturdy enough
Do not use any news papers to pack your slides – your negative film likes to attract pulp and debris off the news paper
Do not forget your name and address! I have 7 boxes of scan projects with no name on them just sitting there because I have no way to contact the person who sent them to me

Keep your negatives in their original sleeves or envelopes
Pay extra so you can track your package -- I will be happy to reimburse you for the extra cost
The safety of your negatives is more important then saving a few bucks
Got a package from Amazon? Those boxes are great to use to ship your negatives
Use zip lock bags to group any loose negatives
Label boxes, zip lock bags, carousals – your digital images will be named exactly as the originals so you can easily find them on your computer
