 How
to
Order
There are many
ways to order, that's why you may want to call before you do anything. We
can discuss what works best for you.
Local clients may
call
619-397-7600
for an appointment to drop off the photos and pick them
up when they are ready.
-
Many
people have great confidence in sending their originals via US mail. Some
mail us a
photocopy of photograph to get a quote first. We write back and you know how it
goes. This method takes some time but there are many people that are
uncomfortable with computers beyond general use. They simply send the photo with their
contact information
and a check for an estimated 50% down and we get in touch as soon as it
arrives and give you an estimate. If you approve, you send the balance
and we ship your photo only days after receiving payment.
-
We
have received huge photos in UPS packages and FedEx envelops with
self addressed envelops for the return, we like that.
-
Some
like to send us a CD of the photos they want restored and then communicate
via e-mail.
-
 Yet
others with scanners or access to a scanner, scan
the photo and e-mail it to us. Be sure to use a jpeg format, have all
automatic filters off, use color mode even if the image is monotone or black and
white. Scan the image only not the entire scanner bed and do not make
any changes. We want a raw original scan. If this is your style click e-mail.
More in e-mail below.
TURN
AROUND TIME In
general we can complete your restoration in
8-10 business days... most people are not in any RUSH because you've had the
photo..how long? But if you need it
now we can have it done in two days with a RUSH FEE of $50. With
exceptions to funerals, we stop everything to help you within reason with no
fee. Upon completion,
with time permitting, we will return your originals and
finished archival quality photo via US Priority mail, unless other arrangements
are made to pickup as soon as they are ready, saving time. Be aware that any company
that can turn it around in 1-2 days is probably outsourcing the work and the
quality will suffer.
 VACATION
LOCATION If you live in
southern California and rather not put your photos in the mail and do not
have a scanner, this is for you. We are well known among genealogist and they
will travel far, to have us restore their photos. They make plans to do
some sightseeing in the
area and include having their photos scanned as part of the trip. Good idea!
Call for an appointment.
So E-mailing is your
preference....start by scanning your photo at a minimum
of 300dpi, and e-mail it to us
at: Restorations@PhotosMadePerfect.com.
If the file is to large you may have to send one photo per message or contact us for further
instructions on uploading your files to our website. If you want to enlarge the photo, you must scan it at a higher
dpi depending on how small the photo is and how large you want to make it.
Read "Scanning Topics" or
contact us for instruction on uploading to our site.
Upon your
approval of the quote, a payment can be made using personal check or
money order. There will be a $25. fee for returned checks. If for any
reason you are not satisfied we will attempt to resolve your concerns. If we are unable to
and you return the work to us within 30 days of receipt for a full refund
of your down payment.
Methods
of Payment
 Full
payment upfront is preferred and always appreciated. If you prefer, we will
accept 50% down payment before we begin restoration, and the balance when you
receive the finished work. Other arrangements can be made, if you have had work
by us before and have developed a working relationship with us over time. We accept
cash, checks, and credit cards from walk-ins and credit cards by phone
using Square and PayPal online.

Photos
Made Perfect by US Mail Nationwide
Many
clients nationwide
send us original photos (by mail or e-mail) with a check and directions of what they
have in mind. They estimate how much 50% down payment would be, after
looking at the "Estimate Guide" page.
We do the restorations,
invoice for the balance and mail them the restored copy when full payment is
made. That simple.
Be sure to package your photos properly
to avoid damaged (PMP is not responsible for lost or damage photos), then mail them using a traceable carrier such as
UPS, Emery, Airborne, or Fed-Ex (we have yet to lose any photographs by these
methods). You
can include a self addressed
pre-paid envelope
from the same company to accommodate your original and the size of the photo you ordered.
If you don't want to include return shipping materials, we can add the shipping cost to the invoice,
you can
pay the balance and after we receiving the balance we ship you the finished work.

An

It's a huge mistake to
choose a restoration service based on price or distance from your home alone.
Compare apples to apples.
