A while back, there was a big discussion about ScanMyPhotos. I just noticed they're offering a pretty good deal on Groupon: $29 for the scanning of 1,000 4 x 6 photos, including return shipping.

Has anyone used them, and if so, what did ya think??

I've never used them, but others have and said how good they were so I was going to get the last groupon deal until I found out it was only 4x6 photos and most of the photos I need scaned are from the mid to late 90's and they are all 3.5x5. :(

But if you have the 4x6 to scan it's totally worth it!!! :thumbup:
 
Oh - I NEED to do this. Do you have a link to the deal Kendall?
 
Lydia, just so you know, while their deals are usually for any size photos, the groupon deals are for ONLY 4x6 photos. I still got it last time, but lots of older photos aren't actually 4x6.
 
Most of the ones I want to do are from the early 2000s, so they are 4x6. I have a TON! But, I can't find the deal on the Groupon site. Help!
 
Too bad it's only for 4x6's! I have a lot of 3.5x5's from my childhood that I'd like to have scanned. I have 4x6's, but probably not enough of them.
 
Ok, I just wanted to make sure you were aware.
I can't find it either. Kendall will have to come back and post a link to it.

Honestly, I'm gonna send in a bunch of that size and see what happens. I bought it before I knew the groupon deal was for ONLY 4x6, so we'll see what happens. I'll let everyone know if I get away with it, lol.
 
Thanks so much Kendall! As a bonus, I had $10 in Groupon bucks, so I got this deal for $19. Can't beat that!
 
So, I just got my photos back, and for the most part they look really great. There were a few, however, that have been cropped into kind of strange sizes. Nothing important was cropped out, but I don't really understand why it was done at all.

Anyone else had this happen?
 
Is it black on the sides? Or white-ish? I had a few where they got semi stuck together and overlapped. They were all definitely 4x6?
 
No - they are cropped. Like the dimensions on one of them is 1780x546. That is the most noticeable one for sure. I just don't get why they would bother cropping them. And, even the normal ones are all different sizes by just a few pixels. Kinda weird.
 
As far as I can tell, it's not a person scanning by them hand. They go into a machine. So I think sometimes it's just the way the photo lands on the scanning bed.
 
Yeah - with the volume they handle I figured they don't have anyone doing it by hand. It just seems really weird to me, especially since none of them are crooked and none of them cut off any faces or important parts of the photo. It's not a HUGE deal. What I got is great and well worth the price I paid for it. I just thought it was strange and wondered if anyone else had a similar experience.
