Our Guarantee and Pricing

What is your No Recovery, No Recovery Fee policy?
It is simple: if we cannot recover your data, you do not pay a recovery fee. This takes the financial risk out of finding out whether your data can be saved.
Are there any diagnostic or hidden fees?
No. We never charge diagnostic fees and there are no hidden fees. Your evaluation is completely free.
How much does data recovery cost?
The cost depends on the device and the type of failure. You receive a clear, firm quote before any work begins, with no diagnostic fee, and on some media we offer flat fees (for example, flash drives starting at $149 and mobile devices starting at $199).
Do you provide a quote before starting?
Yes. After we evaluate your device we give you an exact price, and no recovery work proceeds until you approve it.
Is there any risk in trying?
There is no financial risk. The evaluation is free, there are no diagnostic fees, and you only pay if we successfully recover your data.
Do you offer a free evaluation?
Yes. Every case starts with a free, no-obligation evaluation, so you know what is recoverable before you commit.

How the Process Works

How does the data recovery process work?
First, request a free consultation by phone or email. Next, send in or drop off your device. We diagnose it, give you a quote, and once you approve, we recover your data and return it to you.
How do I start a recovery?
Call 1-888-943-8328 or request a free consultation online. One of our representatives will reach you within 24 business hours to explain your options.
Do I drop off or ship my device?
Whichever is easier for you. You can drop off at our Oakland Park lab by appointment, or use our free prepaid shipping label to mail it in from anywhere.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes, our lab operates by appointment, so please call before dropping off a device.
Will I be kept informed during the recovery?
Yes. We keep you informed throughout the process, so you are always in control of your case.
Do you offer emergency or rush service?
Yes. For urgent and business-critical situations we offer emergency and priority rush service to get you back up and running as fast as possible.

What if another company already tried?
We can often still help. Stop using the device, avoid further attempts, and contact us so that we can evaluate it.
