Benefits of slides to digital services.

These companies also have a lot of competition especially the ones that have online presence, which they will have a much lower pricing just to be able to get customers. This is a good thing for consumers like us. And we can easily browse other companies on the net and find the ones that have a lot cheaper pricing on their conversion/scanning services.

How about the big box stores or pharmacy and photo stores' slide scanning services?
The easiest and probably a cheaper route that most of us do, is to get our slides scanned on pharmacy chain stores + photo like Walgreens and CVS or big box stores like Walmart and Sams. You can just bring your slides in and they will do the slides to digital conversion while you wait or shop at their store. Depending on their workload, you actually need to come back in a day or two to pick up a CD with your converted photos on it. The only thing you need to make sure is that you first request a test conversion so that you will see the quality of the equipment that they are using. Most of the time, the quality is just mediocre but you need to check those times that their scan are not up to par because it will just be a waste of time and money if the quality of their 35mm slide converter is not that great. But if the quality is good, then just you will have a high probability that all of your scans will look great plus you didn't pay an arm and a leg and also it will be done in a timely manner.

So if you are trying to look for a slides to digital conversion or scanning service, then check out your local stores first, then the next time you want it done, you can go online, look for a reputable store with good pricing and just order from them. The only time problem is that you need to mail out your slides to them which can add time.
