iMemories vs. Legacybox: The Shocking Truth About Their Bad Reviews

If you're considering iMemories or Legacybox to digitize your old VHS tapes, film reels, or photos, STOP and read this first! The last thing you want is to send your irreplaceable memories to a company that cuts corners or has a history of customer complaints.

What’s the Difference Between iMemories and Legacybox?

Sadly, not much. Both companies offer mail-in digitization services, but their business models prioritize profit over quality. They spend millions on ads to attract customers but often deliver subpar results.

Customer Complaints & Red Flags

1. Poor Quality & Lost Memories

Many customers report blurry, corrupted, or missing memories. Legacybox has been exposed by Inside Edition for losing irreplaceable tapes. iMemories also has numerous negative BBB reviews.

2. No Real Customer Support

Both companies lack responsive customer service. Once your media is in their hands, getting a real person to help is a nightmare.

3. Slow Turnaround & Hidden Fees

Customers wait months for their orders, only to be charged extra fees for unexpected services. Legacybox forces you to pay upfront, then refuses to work on your tapes, citing they are moldy. iMemories charges a per-item fee, but its app does not stream, forcing you to endure long download times before you can scroll to a favorite scene.
