Yes, the equipment is expensive, but CD Data Guy's doesn't have to make it all back on one customer. We are sensitive to this issue. This is one reason we are up front on what we charge. We would hope that nobody in the recovery business would do that. But you might want to be careful.
Common sense goes a long way here.
I noticed that most recovery businesses don't mention CD data recovery. This is a very specialized service. Yes, but we will charge you for the shipping. We do not charge any shipping costs for CD's that we return via regular mail. E-mailing your recovered data back to you is no problem.
