Months and Months To Receive Digital Files
June 30, 2022

Legacy box advertises like crazy and out and out lie about how long it will take. I tell every one I know what horrible company Legacy Box is to work with. It took months plural for you to process the order. Did you send any updates? None at all. And then when I contact you, you act like it is no big thing. Don't worry I will put this on Google, yelp and any other platform I can find you in.

Hi, Jason. Thank you for reaching out. I apologize that your order has taken longer than our usual turnaround time. This is something that we have been trying to work through, as we have never found ourselves in this position before.

Currently we are going beyond that for some orders, and I am truly sorry for this inconvenience. We have been working to take steps to keep all of our customers up to date by improving our processes and our notification. Thank you for your feedback on this issue to help us to continue to improve. Please let me know if you need anything else.

3 months waiting
September 19, 2022

I had sent my Legacy Box nearly 3 months ago. It's still in queue waiting to be processed. I had used other company services with a 10 day turn- around. Three months is pretty crazy.
I still don't have my digital files yet.

I bought a 10-tape box as a gift for my wife on Mother's day. When she went online to activate the gift, we were informed that an additional $40 was due for a USB drive to put the digitized files on. When I complained about the unexpected fee, they basically said, "too bad, pay". Two and a half months later, we finally received our tapes back and the USB drive with the digitized files. Most are of satisfactory quality, but at least one will have to be redone because the image shakes badly and has static. I'm not sending it back to them, I will try Costco. One tape at a time.

Went with the starter box. You can only send back 3 reels for the start up price or pay more for extra reels. On the super 8 sound reels they DO NOT do sound transfer with the final product. Just want to let future customers know in advance. Please check the status of your order on your own because they did not send a confirming email to me that my final product was sent, but after getting my cd back, the quality was great and got my originals back in the same condition as sent. They even told me my old films was damaged and fixed it at no charge. Thank you Legacy Box for the memories.

Met expectations
December 3, 2020

We took advantage of an offer thru a third party. We got busy and needed to contact LegacyBox after we waited too long. They continued to honor the original order and all we had to pay for was the UPS shipping as that had expired. Most items copied well although some videos were very grainy.

Started badly, they took almost a month more than they first said. Over 10 of my videos came back with stickers that said that they had damage, however I just watched them. The dvd's are poorly burned, some cassettes they didn't even copy the complete contents. Waste of time and money

Bad quality/ no sound
November 13, 2023

This service costs way too much money for what you get. I even got 60% off and it was too much. Transferred videos have no sound and are not edited. I spent hours editing my videos. I paid for expedited service so I got them pretty quickly. But otherwise this is not worth the high cost.

During the pandemic, I had purchased several Legacy boxes to convert old analog videos and photos to digital. I would rank the service as 4 star since it was just convert the photos "as is" with no attempt to improve picture clarity prior to scanning. On the videos, they converted all the videos but many were very poor quality which they did state in a note when they sent finished files. I don't believe they should have converted the very poor videos without sending a note to get my approval 1st. Lastly, it took more than 12 weeks to get each of the orders back which was a month more than the maximum processing estimated interval. They did provide the scanning for very reasonable price as I used Groupon deal for 1000 photos/30 videos.

Such a relief
May 24, 2024

My husband and I are both 80 and wondered how in the world would we be able to share the multitude of old (very old) home movies, VHS tapes, photos etc with the up-and-coming younger generations of our family who never knew our parents or grandparents (and other distant relatives). Legacybox solved that problem for us. At first we were hesitant to send all our original (and priceless) film to a company we didn't know, but their professionalism and reassurances finally won us over and I'm so glad we took the plunge. We are thrilled with the results and have subsequently found more items to send them.

Okay so I have heard and read about these type of services that would take my valuable film memories and turn them into a modern digital format. I was skeptical but took a chance on LegacyBox. Not only did LegacyBox deliver as promised but even exceeded my expectations. Their customer service was responsive and polite and treated me and my films like I was their most important client. I have already placed another order. If you are thinking of doing this do not put it off any longer. You will be pleased with the seamless process. Start to finish.

I thought I was purchasing a service package. Turns out, I purchased one "discount code" which was 50% off a 10 item box. At check out, it says "discount code isn't valid for the items in your cart" - then what, pray tell is it good for? Nothing. You will still have to pay full price at check out.
I gave them a second chance through their site as the first time was through Groupon and thought that may have been the problem. (I ate the cost). Second time through their site directly, the same result. I just requested a refund. Seems like a scam to me!

Dreadful
December 28, 2020

I just reviewed my film to digital downloads and they are utterly dreadful. I spent more than $150 on a 10 reel deal - and all the video is grainy and faded. Every reel looks the same. This was a heartbreaking disappointment - precious memories that I wanted to share with family. A long wait for nothing

Hi Sharon, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We strive to be as clear and upfront as possible and we wholeheartedly apologize if there was any confusion over the services that we offer. We are a 1:1 transfer company. This means that the quality of your originals will directly reflect the quality of your digital output. We do not offer editing or enhancements at this time. Even in the best kept of conditions, film does start to deteriorate naturally after about 10 years so unfortunately this may have affected the quality of your digital transfers.

Half baked
March 30, 2023

I paid for 50 items to be converted. Just received my box back and 24 DVDs were not converted and no refund pending. Also quality is worse than the originals supplied. I will be filing a complaint with my credit card company. I would not recommend this service.

Hi Marty,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We wholeheartedly apologize for your disappointment. We could not convert some of your tapes because they had preexisting damage that prevented us from being able to get a quality transfer. Please reach out to our Customer Service team to let us know if you want store credit or a refund for those items. You can email us at questions@legacybox.com.

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY
September 8, 2023

I am in my late 50's and never have written a review in my life. Legacy box is a complete waste of money. The quality is beyond sub-par and customer service is completely non-existent. Multiple calls, texts, and emails for months and have had no response. There are multiple other companies to trust your children's early years videos to transfer. DO NOT use Legacy box.

Go Local!
August 21, 2022

It's been 4 months, I moved in the interim and was assured by email that my address was updated. Besides the additional 8 weeks of waiting, I now got an email that my order has been shipped... to my OLD address. I moved States! There were no updates at all for 2 months now this. I am less than happy and am sorry I did not go local and have my media in my hands! Huge mistake! Just Go Local! Who knows if I will ever see my media again.

While the company says work is processed in 6 to 8 weeks, maybe now 10 to 12 because of pandemic, labor shortages blah, blah, they keep advertising for more business. Some honesty would be refreshing.
If you can't handle the work you have now, don't keep pushing for more business. Hard to imagine that Legacy deserves even one star

Total rip off
January 17, 2023

Sent in 8 tapes, they converted 2 and sent the rest back saying they were blank or damaged. We viewed all of the returned tapes with no issues, bought a $90 digitizing unit and converted all the rest ourselves. Plus it took months to get them back with the only communication saying basically, "you're in the queue". Wish I had done more research before wasting the money with them. Oh, and the 2 we did get back in digital form were much worse quality than our DIY transfers!
