Few small businesses do not collect intensely private and personal information. From credit card data to bank account and social security numbers, the potential for disaster if that data is compromised can be overwhelming. However, Shred Nations paper-shredding service makes destroying documents a snap. You can use this service to establish a regular schedule where the company will routinely pick up the documents you need destroyed, or you can ask for a one-time shred. Whatever the case, a paper-shredding service is an important part of small-business and in-home operations.

Perhaps your company is required by law to destroy documents after confidential information has been recorded. Maybe you just have a large collection of papers you've been meaning to shred. Whatever your reason for needing a paper-shredding service, convenience and security are vital. A group called the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) monitors these services and gives its stamp of approval for paper-shredding services that follow regulations governing document-destruction services. Shred Nations is a NAID-certified company.

This paper-shredding service is missing the option to have different sized shreds. Some other companies will shred documents into different sizes depending on how sensitive the information is and your personal preferences.

There are no price quotes for this company's paper-shredding services listed on its website. There are too many mitigating factors to consider when obtaining a quote. When you are searching for a paper-shredding service, you'll have to give information about the job you need done, including how much paper you want shredded, how often you need it shredded and where you are located.

When we obtained a price quote, we gave all the different companies we reviewed the same information and listed the prices they gave us. We asked Shred Nations for a price quote for shredding about 30 pounds of paper as a one-time job and for a one-box shred every week as a regularly scheduled service. To get a price quote, you can fill out a contact form with all your information on the company's website, after which a representative will contact you.

The price quote we received for a single shred was about $35 to $40 at our office or home. This paper-shredding service will come to you and shred all your documents in a quick and easy job. The sensitive documents are loaded into a box and then that box is loaded into the shredder. No one will ever view or handle the documents, and your information will be safe.

The scheduled paper-shredding service price quote we received was around $25 for each shred. Using the regularly scheduled service is convenient and secure. This paper-shredding service will lend you a box where you can deposit papers to be destroyed throughout the week.

Shred Nations offers a variety of other services. You can use this company to destroy other items such as hard drives and laptop computers. The destruction prices depend on what you need to have destroyed, and you can contact the company's customer-support line for more information.

After filling out the information on the Shred Nations website, a customer-support representative will contact you. This person will help you establish an account, give you price quotes and assist you in any other way you need for your secure document destruction. However, after we filled out the form, it took more than a day to receive a response, which is slower than some other services.

Summary:

The Shred Nations paper-shredding service is a great option because of its simple website and competitive pricing. You'll be able to establish a regular pickup-and-shred service or a one-time service. However, it does take longer to be connected with a customer-service representative at this company than it does with some other similar services.
