Bring Your Own Box
The Bring Your Own Box program is a little different than our prepaid services. The policies here apply only to the Bring Your Own Box program.
Using your own box is a great way to save time and get the perfect fit. We'll scan any photo you mail us, as long as it follows our photo requirements. You can use any size box or envelope to mail your photos, in as many shipments as you'd like.
BYOB Pricing
You will be billed a flat $95, plus $0.15 cents per photo after scanning is complete.
The $95 fee covers any number of boxes you ship. For larger orders, we still recommend using our Cavernous Crates for the best possible rate.
BYOB Shipping
The shipping to PhotoPanda is not included. You will be responsible for shipping your box(es) to us.
We recommend using an affordable and trackable shipping method like USPS Ground Advantage. Priority Mail, UPS, or FedEx are also good options.
Return shipping, when we send back your originals, is still free.
BYOB Processing
After completing your purchase, we will send an email with a packing slip to print out. The slip ensures the photos you send are associated with your online order and shows our mailing address to ship to. Please include this page inside any box you mail.
Photos
The majority of the items (>90%) must be photo prints or instant photos (Polaroids). Please only include a handful of notes, cards, or documents. PhotoPanda does not scan slides, negatives, or transparencies.
You do not need to know the exact number of photos you have before sending them. We will count them for you and bill you after scanning is complete.
