Wonderful
January 21, 2020

We did this as a gift and it was a big hit. We've had multiple people ask where we got the USB made and we said Legacy Box! It was a super easy process. It took a bit longer to ship due to the holidays but it wasn't a big deal. We definitely plan to use again.

I saw information about Legacy Box on social media and checked it out. They were running a special and I thought I would start with converting VHS since I no longer have a VHS. Then I realized I inherited reel to reel footage from family members. Due to the cost to convert, I started with 6 reels and was impressed. It unlocked so many family stories and traditions we did not know about and send the files to family as a gift. The entire process was only a few weeks and updates were frequent. Due to the reel to reel age, we were unable to capture audio, but the video was spectacular. The curators use the same techniques to digitize video in Hollywood.

It's disheartening to convey that we are extremely disappointed- the quality was dark and grainy for all the VHS and 8mm video cassettes. The output quality on our VHS machine and camera to TV are far clearer that what was converted. I wish I would have ordered a smaller kit to review the quality of work prior to purchasing a larger conversion kit.
Extremely disappointed!

Found a Treasure!
January 9, 2023

After more than thirty years of storage I finally made the move to have a set of 20 8mm tapes digitized. Legacybox made the entire process an easy one-from packing & shipping the videos, providing a timeline for completion and providing options for the final product (DVD, flash drive or online). I am very pleased with the final digitized MP4's and have been sharing out snippets with family members and bringing smiles to my three daughters as they see themselves as they were 30 years ago. I am totally satisfied with my Legacybox experience,

Excellent outcome of very old family films
January 7, 2022

I was extremely pleased with the outcome of the films. These were family films that were over 40 years old. I sent in the films thinking I wouldn't have any results, but was very pleased that all ten reels came out. I would definitely use them again.

Extremely satisfied
June 17, 2019

I'm looking at videos I haven't looked at in 20+ years. Very nostalgic and completely loving it. I have the thumb nail which makes it easy to view as I'm sitting at my computer. I'm in the process of cataloging what I had video taped years ago. Loving it!

After starting a conversion process of Super8 and 8MM, I discovered 16MM film, in which I could not convert myself. I never used LegacyBox for film conversion (or any other server). I sent it my 16MM reels being nervous, since I only have 1 copy of the films. I paid for Rush service before Thanksgiving, not expecting the conversion to be finished quickly. I received converted films back within 2 weeks along with my reels. Service and tracking was great. Highly recommend service.

NEEDS to improve processing time
August 6, 2022
Updated review

The wait was 4 months and I wasn't sure if I would ever get anything back. I eventually did and was impressed by the good quality because not everyone got orders with good quality.

Regardless, I won't be using them again because of the long wait.

Date of experience: August 6, 2022

Confused about the length of the video
August 5, 2022
Previous review

The wait was horrible and this company needs to improve in that department. The quality is good, but each video was 2 hours long. The first 10/20/30 minutes (however long was recorded) was the video itself, and the last however long was remaining was a snowy screen or a blue screen.

I think all the video was shown, but that worried me. I hope I got the full videos.

Among the movies that LegacyBox has digitized for me and my children and grandchildren was a home movie from the 1930s that was bright and clear. It showed my great-grandmother, born at the beginning of the Civil War, smiling, walking and waving. What a treasure! What a legacy!

I hesitated to have my old VHS, 8mm and slides preserved because of the price tag! Now I wish I'd prioritized it sooner! Not only are my family memories preserved beautifully, they were also carefully tracked and monitored throughout the process so I was able to relax and trust the process.

There were parts in the DVDs that I thought they could have cleaned them up a bit more. I enjoyed seeing people I never thought I would see again. They were so quick that I was able to send them to my daughter in time for Christmas.

Best Decision!
December 17, 2020

I have never had such wonderful customer service in my life! I would highly recommend Legacy Box. I was told I would have a turn around time of 6-8 weeks, and due to it being Christmas time and Covid, I expected it to be closer to 8. I was SHOCKED when my entire box was processed and sent back to me within 4 weeks. Every time I asked for an update, they were very prompt, kind, and helpful. They even sent me a prorated refund with no hassle when they had a sale a week after I purchased my box. My videos all turned out perfectly, and it's truly the been such a delight going back and watching them all. This was a wonderful Christmas gift to my whole family, and I feel my money was very well spent. I will definitely be recommending Legacy Box!

It has been almost 3 months since I sent in precious videos. I called 3 weeks ago and they made up excuses about turnaround being affected by COVID. But, to be clear, they had it for weeks before COVID impacted business. 3 weeks ago they said 10 weeks is normal. Really? Then they said it was the virus. Not true either. Then they said it would ship on Monday (3 weeks ago). Really? They do not have their act together and I am beginning to think they lost my valuables and just won't admit it. I'm talking 6 videotapes that they have not been able to digitize in 3 months. I get an email every week saying they are working on it, uploading it, getting ready to ship or whatever. 6 videotapes? If it takes that long to process 6 tapes they have been "uploading" for over 2 months, I hope they have a customer base of no more than one customer or they will never see their belongings. Terrible.

P.S. - I would add photos but they have my stuff so I can't add any photos!

Awesome!
March 15, 2019

Legacy did an amazing job digitalizing all my reels and slides. I had no idea what was on them but was glad I had them converted. Legacy did everything they promised. I sent my media in and had it all converted. They then returned my media. I would definitely do this again.

Timeline -
September 18, 2022

I placed an order in June 22, still not received. When calling customer service, they say it will be another 6 weeks. Read the fine print, that says it takes 10/12 weeks or pay a serious upcharge to receive in 10 days. They are masters at uncharges. Can't speak to the quaility of the product yet, since it will be another month and half to receive it back.

The Communications Process
March 15, 2021

I was well informed on the onset of this service, but when the time for delivery came, I didn't know what to do. LegacyBox needs to prescribe the steps one should follow upon the successful conversion of thier materials. For instance, I recieved a notice that my package was on its way. I recieved a box of my tapes, but nothing telling me to go to a weblink to view the media in the cloud. I had to figure that out. This could be an improvement. As for quality, they did the best they could with some of my VHS tapes, but they were pretty old. Bottom Line: Quality is fine. Improve communication of steps.

THEY RIPPED ME OFF! I'M FURIOUS!
March 22, 2023

Paid $278 for their 20 item box. Didn't receive an email for instructions. Tried to contact them & no response to email. Called the number & could not get a hold of them! Grrrr! I decided this was off to a bad start so I emailed them to cancel my order & provide a refund. They gave me a runaround on that. Took 3 weeks to get $206 back & I was furious! Contacted them as to why I was shorted $75 & they said it was a restocking fee! THEY ARE HORRIBLE! DON'T USE LEGACY BOX!

Really old home movies
May 31, 2021

I had about 17 VHS tapes of home movies that I no longer could watch as I no longer have a tape player and really had no desire to purchase a new one just to watch home movies. Also, I was afraid they would continue to deteriorate until they would be gone forever. I had them transferred to DVD and they are wonderful. Some do have some bad spots but Legacybox did such a wonderful job I just cannot thank them enough.
