Overcharged because they didnt follow my instructions
First, their advertising is misleading – I thought I was dealing with a local Seattle company,. But their presence h ere is just a desk where a woman collects your device to send to their home office (Midwest?)
but thst’s not the reason for the rating:
My external HD died during a trip to India, with 2 weeks’ worth of images so I looked to Filesavers to recover those files. They assured me that file recovery is done ‘manually’. They charged $2000 and results were delivered, as promised after 2 weeks.
About 200k files were retrieved, but 135k were in the folder ‘/toolkit’ for which I didn’t ask for recovery (as most of those were from past few years and already backed up). There were another 35k files in a folder labeled “backup of import & select folders 6-4-24”.
I had specifically asked only for the files on the /pictures/* folders – about 10K – so 95% of the recovered files are redundant/useless for me. Size 62 Gb of 1.34 Tb So it seems I was overcharged substantially.
Filesavers never responded when I emailed this response.
