Preparing your original photo for shipping to us will depend on the condition of your photo. In most instances a photo can be protected from shipping damage by placing it between two pieces of cardboard and placing it in a padded envelope. Many office and computer supply stores carry various sizes of envelopes specifically designed for shipping photographs. Either of these methods is sufficient if your photo is not in need of "restoration," and is in one piece. If you have a photo that is in pieces, or very fragile and needing restoration services, we suggest that you use place the photo inside an envelope, then place the envelop between two pieces of cardboard, press them tightly together, and tape the edges of the cardboard to hold the pieces snugly inside. (Please do not put tape any part of the photo.) Place the photo that is surrounded by card board in to a padded envelope and mark the envelope as "Fragile." For peace of mind, you might want to purchase "insurance" and/or a "delivery confirmation" from the Post Office. You will be notified by the postman and by us (via email) when we have received your photo.
