Your memories are priceless. Those old VHS tapes, 8mm reels, and stacks of photographs represent moments that shaped your life. But, over time, these delicate formats degrade—meaning the moments they hold could be lost forever. If you're ready to preserve these treasures for generations, choosing the right digitizing service is crucial. Let's see how Legacybox and other services stack up and why Heirloom offers a superior solution for safeguarding your memories.
Why Digitize Now?
Time is ticking. VHS tapes degrade, photos fade, and film reels get brittle. When they're gone, they're gone for good. Digitizing your media means your memories are preserved in a format that can last forever. Whether it's a cherished wedding video, your child's first steps, or your family’s history captured on slides, digitizing ensures they live on—and Heirloom makes the process simple and secure.
The Legacybox Experience
Legacybox is a popular name in media digitization. They offer a ship-it-yourself solution with a prepaid box, allowing you to send in tapes, film, photos, and audio recordings. But with this convenience comes trade-offs that can affect your memories and your wallet.
Legacybox uses a tiered pricing system based on the number of items, which leads to higher costs for uneven orders, and getting charged for blanks tapes. Customers have reported slow turnaround times and lost memories prompting this Inside Edition investigation. Is this a risk you're willing to take with irreplaceable moments?
Heirloom: The Superior Choice
Unlike Legacybox, Heirloom doesn't limit you by tiers. Whether you have a single VHS tape or a whole closet full of film reels, photos, and tapes, you can send everything in an Heirloom box, even old floppy disks! You don’t have to count or sort through your media in advance—simply pack it up and drop it off at your nearest UPS Store. It’s that easy.
More Than Just Convenience:
- Free Repair: If your tapes or discs are damaged, no worries. Heirloom provides basic repairs so we can capture more of your old memories.
- Veteran Owned & Operated: Heirloom’s veteran team is trained to protect what’s priceless. Our attention to detail far exceeds all others.
- Faster Turnaround Times: Your memories are digitized within days. Go online and stream memories, even as Heirloom is still uploading them to your free account!
No Memory Left Behind
When it comes to preserving your memories, some digitizing services are still stuck in the past. Competitors are still making DVDs, a format that can become unreadable over time due to scratches, wear, or even simple degradation. Many devices no longer have DVD readers, and these discs crack and otherwise get lost. At Heirloom, we believe this approach is not just outdated—it’s irresponsible.
That’s why Heirloom takes a more forward-thinking approach by converting your media directly to digital formats, ensuring that your memories are safe in the cloud where they can be easily accessed and shared. We even go a step further by reconditioning scratched or damaged discs from other services, such as Legacybox DVDs, to recover and salvage those precious memories. No matter the condition of your media, Heirloom is committed to ensuring that no memory is left behind.
Drop Off at the UPS Store
Heirloom has partnered with UPS to make sending your media a breeze. Drop off your Heirloom package at your nearest UPS Store, and you're set! No more guessing about shipping costs or worrying about where your precious memories are. The partnership ensures that your media is safely tracked from your hands to ours—and back again.
