Why "Near Me" Doesn't Always Mean Better
When you search for "hard drive recovery near me," you're looking for help — not specifically for proximity. Here's the reality:
Most Local Shops Can't Help
Computer repair shops handle software issues — deleted files, corrupted drives, virus damage. But clicking drives? Beeping motors? Physical damage? They don't have the equipment. They'll send your drive to a lab anyway.
Specialized Labs Are Rare
There are maybe 50 actual data recovery labs in the entire US with PC-3000 equipment and clean bench facilities. Odds are, there isn't one in your city. That's not a problem — it's why mail-in exists.
Shipping Is Safe & Fast
We receive drives from across the country daily. With proper packaging, shipping is completely safe. 2-3 days transit, same-day evaluation when received. Often faster than waiting for a local shop to admit they can't help.

Mail-In Recovery FAQ
What if my drive gets damaged in shipping?
Hard drives are designed to handle shipping. With proper packaging (anti-static + padding), damage is extremely rare. We've received thousands of drives without incident. If you're concerned, insure the package.
How long does the whole process take?
Shipping: 2-3 days. Evaluation: same day received. Recovery: 1-3 days for software issues, 1-2 weeks for mechanical. Return shipping: 2-3 days. Total for a typical mechanical recovery: about 2 weeks.
Is mail-in more expensive?
Usually cheaper. We include free shipping both ways, and you're not paying a middleman markup. Local shops that outsource add $200-500 to cover their costs.
Can I drop off in person instead?
Yes, if you're in the NYC area. Our lab is in Manhattan. But mail-in is the same service and price - there's no advantage to dropping off unless you're already nearby.
