The salesperson says that they can store your boxes in their facility for pennies per month. The facility looks like Fort Knox – is heated in the winter and cooled in the summer, video surveillance (armed guards, with helicopters and dogs) and exceeds all fire and safety codes.
But then they pull out the five page contract with the “other” fees: Set-up the account fee, pick up the boxes fee, “handle the box” fee (every transaction has this fee) close the account fee, a fee for the different levels of how they will bill you, (yes, they are charging you to bill you). Then what happens if you need a file that you have stored with that company? You guessed it…more fees: pull the file fee, scan a file fee, deliver the file (with 4-6 different escalating fee choices), return the original to the file fee, destroy the file fee (of course add the “handle the box fee” at each point here) Now you know why the facility looks like Fort Knox, you are paying for it. It’s kind of like once you give the box to them those files are held as hostages and if you ever wish to see them again you are going to have to pay.
Unity Scanning & Storage has a different approach. We have a great “Fort Knox” facility (uhm… except the guards are not armed and there are no helicopters or dogs). Yes, you are paying for it too, however, we set up a reasonable up front fee that takes into account that you will need some percentage of access to your files. While within that percentage there are no extra fees, none, period. This gives you a simple, no surprise, budgetable solution that can save you a significant amount of money.
A budgetable figure, with a safe, secure facility and no surprises?
