Payment
Minimum order · €50
The minimum order is €50. Drum scanning is a labour-intensive process with no automation at any stage, which is why the minimum order is €50.
To go ahead with your order, you make this initial payment first. Please let us know in the order message if you would like us to send you an invoice for a bank transfer, or if you would prefer a PayPal money request so you can pay by PayPal, credit card or debit card.
The remaining balance is charged once we have received the film, evaluated it, and confirmed the order and estimate with you.
