Legacy Box slow results
April 5, 2023

You say you will transfer tapes'
Send box I pack with tapes, BUT I have to wait 5 weeks for my shipping
Which you promised. Finally get to send tapes. Legacy then wants more money to process quickly.
Standard processing 8 to 12 weeks? Transferred 8 of 10. Took 2 1/2 months?
Sounds like a camel ride not a race car

Never ever trust your memories to Legacy Box. 60 years worth of pix and videos were lost on return. The $30 insurance is vague with no details provided. Customer service is terrible. All our original videos are gone, and they haven't held up their promise to insure everything for $1000.

Legacybox Scam
October 30, 2020

I ordered service on Legacybox to convert some VHS tapes, after hearing it on a radio show, and it is a SCAM. I waited two weeks and never did receive the package to ship my tapes to them for conversion, & paid $82.50 for the two tape box. When it did not arrive I sent multiple emails about it, which NO response, until I demanded a full refund. All I am getting is a partial refund, for $72.35 from them.

Hi Jerry,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. I apologize if you did not receive your initial box. Every email that comes through our inbox is answered in a timely manor so I do apologize if they were not received or if you did not receive our responses. Our first line of action would be to see why your box didn't arrive or what was going on there. If you never received your box and have cancelled your order, we would be happy to refund you for the cost of shipping as well. This is a separate charge from your order, so it was not automatically refunded if our system shows your order shipped out to you. If you could please reach out to our customer service team with attention to a supervisor, we would be happy to take care of this for you. You can reach us anytime at questions@legacybox.com

Sent videos weeks ago. Just sent my 8mm tapes back but no CD? Ordered an E Card too and can't get the promo code to work. They will not take phone calls so there is no one to ask about these issues. Absolutely awful customer service.

I sent some old college football games from my playing days in the early 1980s. They came back on a flash drive that I was able to share with a fellow team mate, a wonderful memory now forever preserved.

Wonderful
March 10, 2019

I ordered because they were advertising 50% off and we had a box of films from hubbys childhood. Easy to send, love their process of keeping the customer in the loop during the whole time. Our digitized footage arrived for Valentines Day and we sat down to watch everything immediately. Thank you Legacy Box for preserving precious video of my husbands family, especially his father who passed at a young age. It was touching watching hubby relive the memories. Kind of like Chevy Chase in the attic in Christmas Vacation. I would highly recommend the Legacy Box package. We now have media that we can access and share.

I sent in 1o VHS tapes of precious family videos with stated 6-8 weeks processing. I didn't receive them back for 20 weeks which made me extremely nervous. The results are TERRIBLE. I would classify a great many videos as unwatchable. On some, the audio is does not match the video? How can that be? I basically have to take my original tape and copy it off myself to use it. Thank God I received the originals back. I will NEVER think about using Legacy Box ever. How they are in business is a mystery.

Hi James. We do apologize for the delay in processing times. While our average is 6-8 weeks, unfortunately that average can fluctuate depending on the formats and number of orders received, as each order is processed in the order in which it is received.

Our process is to provide a one-to-one transfer of each of your items as they play on our equipment. Since we do not offer any editing or enhancement services, any quality issues that exist on the original item will be present in the digital files. We’d like to make sure that we achieved a one-to-one transfer of your tapes, so it would be great if you could reach out to our team to further discuss your order.

Our customer service team is available 7 days a week at questions@legacybox.com or by phone at 800-797-8210.

We sent in VHS tapes to get them put on DVDs. Watching the DVDs is painful because of stops and starts with blank blue screen, flickering, blurry and a lot of snow. Terrible quality. It is disappointing. I wouldn't recommend.

I paid over $800 to LegacyBox in January 2018 to convert 2 sets of family cassettes into digital files. Next week is July 2018, still not completed. I was promised 4-6 week completion. Its now 6 Months later and no files yet. The first excuse was that their cloud server went down. I had to resend the whole box of tapes. The second time they said they couldnt get google drive to work. So I sent the tapes a third time. Im still waiting. Ive asked that the President call me to explain whether they are capable of doing the simple job or not. No answer. The CSR staff are all nice enough on the phone. But its clear there must be chaos in the production department. Im a disgusted customer, still waiting for my files to be delivered.

Extortion
April 5, 2023

Sent in my box with 19 tabbed pieces. Get an email from the company saying I have 21 pieces….ridiculous! I counted it carefully. They are extorting money! I know how to count and was exceedingly careful preparing box. The customer service is terrible! I have requested a supervisor many times to Kellan but they refuse… no one calls me. They just want my additional $$$ for something I already fully paid for! Watch out. DONT USE
Them for your precious memories.

Memories!
August 29, 2019

I have loved this product! It has been priceless to watch my old VHS tapes. I had over 30 tapes of 3 different sizes. Getting the thumb drive was like Christmas! We were able to watch our wedding video which we hadn't watched for over 30 years. So many memories! I'm sending off another order with slides from my late father from 1958. What amazing technology. This order will probably be pictures I've probably never seen!

I had pictures from almost 60 years ago that obviously can't be replaced. I wanted to take them out of a photo album and put them on a memory card for my parents and family to enjoy again. I was hesitant about sending them away but LegacyBox kept me advised on every step of the process. I got the originals back in the same condition and a memory stick filled with those memories to share! My parents loved seeing those photos again! Thank you for treating my pictures with the same care I have used! I have more pictures to put on memory sticks and will be using LegacyBox!

I always wanted to watch my old movies I had in storage, but didn't have the proper equipment to do so. Legacybox gave me the opportunity to convert them into CD's and I'll be forever grateful My deceased parents had been brought to life again, allowing my family and siblings to enjoy, laugh and cry all over again. Also, we got to relive most of our favorite memories with each other as well. Absolutely priceless What a gift you have given us! "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart.

Hi, Cathy. Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry that we are running behind right now, and converting your items is taking little longer than our usual estimated time.

Please let me know if there is anything that you need help with. You can reach us at questions@legacybox.com 7 days a week, and our phone hours are 9am-5pm EST, Monday-Friday.

Family Treasure!
January 30, 2023

These 16mm reels have been in the family storage box for decades. Not knowing what to do or who to trust with them seemed overwhelming. After researching many options, we decided to trust Legacy Box. These films meant the world to my parents so I was nervous. Legacy Box kept me informed every step of the way! Let's just say that they exceeded our expectations! If I could hug them I would! Thanks so much for the wonderful memories from the 1950's and 60's...we will be using this service again soon!

I sent every photo and video I've ever taken of my family. It is a vulnerable thing to share your images. The company promised a lifetime back up and guess what? In a move we lost our thumb drive, I paid to order another just a year later and they said they destroyed the files. They also wouldn't answer my second call until I used my husband's cell phone. I'm fairly sure this is run out of a basement or trailer, who knows, but don't bother. Spend a little more for a legitimate company.

Hi Sara,

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We always strive to be as clear and upfront as possible regarding the services that we offer. Per our customer privacy policy, we do not keep files for more than 30 days after we return the digitized files to our customers. I am very sorry to hear that your Thumb Drive was lost during your move. Unfortunately, we have no way to replace lost items after the customer has received them. If there is ever anything else we can help you with, please do not hesitate to reach back out to our team at questions@legacybox.com.

Distorted DVD's
July 25, 2020

Sent 7 VCRS to be converted to DVD's. Six of the returned items were hard to watch due to white streaks on 5 of the DVD's the 6th one was only white streaks. No picture. Left residue in my DVD omit. The 7th was a 2 hour movie that only had 45+ minuets. Many areas. Were cut out. I DO NOT recommend this company.

I saw legacybox on Groupon and although the production time is pretty long, their price was by far the best and have a very user friendly system and website. So I went ahead and paid for 10 video tapes and expedited production time, filled out their box (super easy and organized) shipped it out and after a few weeks I received it all in the form I requested. All was without any hiccups. I did accidentally sign up and paid for their backup subscription ($20 annually) but canceled it and when I called to ask for a refund they issued it right away. All in all 9/10!
