Customers are switching from LegacyBox due to several persistent problems:

  • Extremely long wait times: 3-4 months vs industry standard of 2-4 weeks
  • No enhancement services: LegacyBox provides no color correction or quality improvements
  • Limited format support: Only handles 35mm slides/negatives; others returned unscanned
  • Poor communication: No real-time tracking or project updates
  • Items returned as "unconvertible": Without proper explanation or rescue attempts
  • Assembly-line approach: 700,000+ items per week means less individual attention
