What is the deal with Kodak Digitizing Box, Legacy Box and Southtree??

Kodak Digitizing Box and LegacyBox and Southtree all share the same factory building in Chattanooga, TN. (In correspondence with Legacy Box, at times they say their factory is 100,000 square feet and other times they say it is 50,000 square feet. Slight discrepancy, I guess. Are we supposed to think we will get better scannning results if the building is bigger? Sounds like that.)

515 N. Holtzclaw Ave, Chattanooga, TN

(What is the deal with all these Box companies? Don't people realize that they really, really are paying for those "free" boxes? Maybe not.) Reminds me of the TV salesman that used to give away a "free bike" with every TV. Crazy Lenny from American TV in Wisconsin. Lenny would be screaming "Get a Bike. Get a bike. Get a bike." Maybe people thought that they didn't need a TV but they did want a bike and so they really, really, really did get a FREE bike with a TV. How could Crazy Lenny give a "free" bike away with a TV? Well, sorry to break it to you but, if you got a free bike with your TV, YOU PAID FOR THAT TV AND THE FREE BIKE. These Free shipping boxes are just as free as those bikes from Crazy Lenny.

There is a line at the bottom of the Kodak Digitizing Box webpage that says:

"The Kodak trademark, logo and trade dress are used under license from Kodak."

And so it seems that Kodak Digitizing Box is paying to use the Kodak name and branding logos. The "real" Kodak film company that you might remember does not seem to really have anything to do with any of these three companies other than collecting the licensing fee for use of the name and logos. Kodak filed for bankruptcy on January 19th, 2012. Kodak did emerge from bankruptcy in 2013 and has apparently been dabbling in cryptocurrentcy and pharmaceutical manufacturing in 2020 as well as selling the rights to using it's famous and trusted Kodak brand name to be used to harvest suckers. Some might say that they are prostituting the name. You decide. At least you might think you are getting what prostitutes are selling. Not so much in this regard.

Ah. Here is an article that describes the relationship:

You can check out a positive review (and negative comments) of Legacy Box here below. Just remember that this reviewer never knew that Affordable Scanning probably would have done a much better job than Legacybox and at a lower price. All they know is that they sent their slides in and got some scans back. People who have not compared services only know what they get and NOT WHAT THEY COULD have gotten.

( Make sure you scroll down to the comments at the bottom of the review page. There are some very unhappy customers here as well as the BBB website although the reviewer seems to have had a good experience. That is probably because she never knew she could have gotten amazingly better slide scanning results if she had just sent her slides to Affordable Scanning Services LLC)
