VIDEO & MEDIA TRANSFER • PRICING
The more memories you preserve, the less you pay per tape.
CMDigital uses simple progressive pricing. Your entire order receives the per-tape rate for the quantity tier it falls into. There are no complicated calculations where some tapes cost one amount and others cost another.
Build My Time CapsuleHOW PROGRESSIVE PRICING WORKS
One order. One per-tape price.
Progressive pricing rewards you for preserving more of your collection. Count the tapes in your order, find the matching tier, and that tier's price applies to every tape in the order.
Example: 15 tapes15 tapes falls into the 11–20 tier, so all 15 tapes are priced at $16 each. 15 × $16 = $240.
THE FOUR PRICING TIERS
Your rate is determined by your total tape count.
The important thing to remember: you do not pay $18 for the first 10, then $16 for the next 10. Once you reach a new tier, the new rate applies to the entire order.

WHY THIS MATTERS
Crossing a tier can make a big difference.
Imagine you have 10 tapes. Your total is $180. If you discover one more tape and your order becomes 11 tapes, the entire order moves into the $16 tier. That makes the new total $176 — even though you added another tape.
That's the advantage of progressive pricing: adding more of your memories can actually lower the price you pay per tape.

PRICING QUESTIONS
Still wondering how your order will be priced?
What if I have different types of tapes?
For compatible video transfer formats, your tape count is used to determine the applicable progressive pricing tier. The order process lets you identify the media you are sending.
What happens when I go from 10 to 11 tapes?
Your entire order moves to the 11–20 tier. Eleven tapes are therefore $16 each, for a standard transfer total of $176.
Is the price shown the final checkout total?
The progressive tape-transfer amount is the foundation of your order. Optional delivery choices, additional services and applicable taxes can affect the final checkout total.
I have a lot of tapes. Can I get help?
Absolutely. Large collections can be easier to plan with a little guidance. Contact CMDigital if you have questions about a collection before ordering.
