Shipping your media for data recovery or digital forensic services
Shipping your media correctly is a critical part of ensuring that your data remains recoverable.
Below are a number of important tips you should follow when packaging your media for shipment:
1. SUBMIT YOUR PROJECT
Fill out the online data recovery form, sign it, and include it along with your package when shipping your media to Capital Data Recovery Inc.
Please, sign it, and include the form with your package when shipping your media to us.
2. PREPARE THE MEDIA FOR SHIPPING
Package your media in ESD, anti-static bags, or a zip-lock bag. Avoid touching the circuit board or electrical connectors when handling the hard drive.
Use a foam or a double layer of bubble wrap around the hard drive or a solid drive. Pack hard drive in a suitable shipping carton with a minimum of 2 inches packing material between the drive and carton.
We don’t suggest using the shipping “peanuts” as the drive might become loose while transportation and get damaged.
3. SHIP YOUR MEDIA TO OUR DATA RECOVERY LAB
Capital Data Recovery Inc.
1827 Woodward Drive, Unit 306
Ottawa ON K2C 0P9
Canada
If possible, use a shipping service with tracking capabilities. For faster service, use overnight or 2nd-day service.
4. CONTACT US
Contact us once the drive is shipped and let us know the tracking number (if applicable).
Once your media is received and evaluated, you will be contacted by phone or email.

- A F ★★★★★ 4 months ago These guys are miracle workers. We had saved everything to an external hard drive, but the hard drive failed the first time we tried to access our pictures. All of our children’s baby pictures, videos, … More and a decade of family memories were seemingly gone. We were told locally that they couldn’t do anything and there was not much hope of it being recovered. We were referred to Capital Data Recovery as the only ones who might be able to help, and decided to give it a try even though it is quite a distance away from us.
Levon was very patient and generous with his time going over all the questions that I had. From what I understand it was not an easy fix, and I think other companies would’ve cut their losses and given up after a fair first try, but it was clear that they understood how valuable the content was to us. They ultimately recovered every last picture and video off of the hard drive and got them back to us safely on a new, good quality device.
Throughout the process, they were extremely professional, quick to reply, and clear about possible outcomes and timelines. Pricing was clear and fair. We are so grateful that they did not give up on on this job and really went above and beyond. - S ★★★★★ 4 months ago My wife lightly dropped my Seagate hard drive on the floor and then I couldn't access my files anymore. I tried different PCs & cables and nothing worked. I found this company on Google and they … More are just incredible. I booked an appointment on their website & when I showed up I was greeted by Levon. In 1-2 days he gave me a free evaluation. And then a few days later, he restored 100% of my data. That's it. It literally works! Some reviews said it's expensive but I completely disagree. Whenever you have a misfortune or accident, whatever amount you will pay you will feel it's expensive. But quite frankly I found them to be affordable. And the fact that they get the job done in a timely manner with great communication and great service, with a functional website that accepts online appointments, is just fantastic! Super convenient location too, with easy and free parking. The way this company handled my issue is EXACTLY the "best case scenario" I had in my mind when I dropped my hard drive. That's it folks, this is the company you're looking for you can stop searching online. Thanks again Levon!
- Trish Sawhney ★★★★★ 8 months ago I cannot express how grateful I am to Levon and the team at Capital Data Recovery. After approximately 6 technicians at Apple failed to help me, Levon and his team successfully managed to recover all my … More data from my broken iPhone 11 with a completely unresponsive screen. The best part was that they were able to push the backup to my iCloud, so it was very easy to transfer all the data to my new phone! I would highly recommend bringing your devices here if you need assistance!
