Self Ship to Heirloom
Fast. Simple. Your way.
Sometimes you just want to send one important tape, a single floppy disk, or a small stack of treasured photos—without waiting for a box, printing a label, or following a process that feels bigger than your order.
This option is perfect when:
- You have a very small amount of media.
- You want to expedite the process.
- You’re comfortable paying your own shipping costs.
- You prefer to download your digitized files.
- You’re OK with Heirloom recycling the physical media after digitizing, or paying a small shipping charge for its return.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use USPS, UPS, FedEx, or another shipping carrier?
Yes. You're welcome to use USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, or another carrier. Securely pack your media, include your contact information, and ship it to Heirloom. If you'd rather avoid paying retail shipping rates or waiting in line, consider Heirloom's Shipping Label or Digitizing Box, both of which include a prepaid UPS label.
Do I have to ship my memories myself?
No. If you prefer, Heirloom offers two easier shipping options. Purchase an Heirloom Shipping Label if you already have a box and printer, or order an Heirloom Digitizing Box if you need a sturdy shipping box with a prepaid UPS label included. Both options can save time and, in many cases, reduce your shipping costs.
When do I pay for digitization?
Never before shipping. Whether you ship your own way, use a Heirloom Shipping Label, or order a Digitizing Box, Heirloom inspects every item after it arrives and emails you a detailed, itemized, no-obligation quote the same day. You only pay after approving the quote.
What kinds of media can I ship?
Heirloom digitizes nearly every popular legacy media format, including videotapes, film reels, photographs, slides, negatives, audio recordings, optical discs, documents, scrapbooks, floppy disks, memory cards, and digital storage devices. If you're unsure what you have, simply send it and we'll identify everything during your free inspection.
Why not choose digital transfer services near me?
Many local businesses simply collect your media before sending it elsewhere for digitization. With Heirloom, your memories are inspected by preservation specialists who identify every format and email you a detailed, no-obligation quote before any work begins. You can ship using your own carrier, or choose Heirloom's prepaid Shipping Label or Digitizing Box for an even simpler experience.
