The Ship 'N' Shred service takes an innovative approach to a much-needed business concept. With this paper-shredding service, you will ship all the documents you need destroyed to the factory where they will be obliterated. This is the only option available with this paper-shredding service. There are no mobile services or other options available. However, for those who still need a shredding service but are located too far from a service center, this company is a terrific option.

There is a regulatory agency for paper-shedding companies called the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID). This non-governmental agency monitors different paper-shredding services and certifies the companies that follow state and federal regulations for document destruction. NAID certifies Ship 'N' Shred, which follows incredibly stringent regulations.

One of the benefits of using a paper-shredding service is the document-destruction certificate. After the papers are shredded, you will be given a certificate guaranteeing the destruction of those documents that is admissible in court. If you are shredding documents for a client and are somehow accused of allowing the client's information to be stolen because of improper document destruction, the certificate will protect you from legal action.

Obtaining a price quote from most paper-shredding services can be difficult. You have to fill out forms and wait to be contacted by sales representatives because so many different factors determine the cost, such as your location, how much you need shredded and how often you need a shredding service. However, with this paper-shredding service, you can get an instant price quote; the company will even tell you how much it will cost with shipping included.

The Ship 'N' Shred website is basic, and the price-quote option is on the homepage; it is one of the most basic websites we have seen with secure document-destruction companies. You'll enter all the basic information such as your address, the weight of the box and your contact number. This will immediately display how much money it will cost to ship and destroy all the documents.

Because the papers being shipped are often confidential, the box is sent via FedEx in the most secure way possible. The documents are then loaded directly into the shredder and destroyed as soon as they arrive.

Obtaining a price quote for shredding other materials such as electronics is still relatively simple with this paper-shredding company. However, it will take some contact with a personal sales representative to get an exact quote. You can use this service to destroy products such as laptops and hard drives. It also gives you a certificate of destruction for these information-storage devices once they are demolished.

The price quote and contact form on the main website for this service makes it much easier to use than similar services. However, if you need personal contact with a sales representative, be prepared to wait at least one business day. We contacted the team on several occasions, and it was difficult to be connected to a live representative.
