I have been requesting medical records for years, it has never been easy, but since COVID-19 hit, it is damn near impossible! Today, I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck! I submitted my request this morning and just got my link with my records! 1 day turnaround, unbelievable and such a pleasure to deal with. I wish they were the custodians of everyone's medical records. I highly recommend them and hope I have the pleasure of needing them again.

Friendly, kind, and just good people. Their operation and integrity put me at ease about having my documents shredded by someone else. The price was very reasonable! Can't recommend highly enough.

I needed to get a lot of paper and documents shredded so I googled and found The File Deport. I called and spoke with Jerry and he was GREAT to work with and was very accommodating. I went and dropped what I needed shredded, Jerry took care of it right away. I would highly recommend if you have shredding needs, go to The File Depot. GREAT service at a GREAT price.
