   Thanks for the feedback, we'll look into this. I may be asking for too much, but if you can email me a screenshot to alex@destroyer.io, I'd appreciate it. If you want, send your address too and I'll mail you a Destroyer.io st

   I agree, these extreme case scenarios are theoretically possible, though extremely unlikely. Like I mentioned in my answer to your other comment, shipping is the weakest link (or biggest risk) of our company. We'll do our best to figur

   Excellent, point taken. We're really looking at giving customers the option of doing something to the drive before it ships out. It seems that there's enough demand for it (based on comments we've gotten over the past two day

   Wow, two for two. You will be our new proofreader. Yes, that's a typo as well, we only deal with USPS at the moment. There are two main reasons for this: 1. Every person would be be able to use the service from their home or place of

   We're not targeting a specific small business kind, we're going more by size. Big enough to have several hard drives in their offices, small enough that enterprise shredding services are too expensive and big for them. A lot of co

   Thanks for the kind words! Our target market, at this point, is: small businesses and end consumers. Our goal is to eventually serve enterprise customers, but we're not going after that for the moment for several reasons (resources, de

    You are right, that's an option that would serve some of our customers. We'll definitely expand in our service and shipping options as we grow. Thanks a lot for taking the time to give us some feedback. Cheers!

    The problem isn't in connecting our site to an extra shipping carrier, it's in getting the required volume for our rates and service to be excellent. Also about receiving three different batch deliveries daily. So, once volume pic

    Yes! This idea had actually come up before. I'll definitely give it an in depth look, this could make the whole process safer. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Hi, hope all is well. Nothing on the site is a lie. Especially, the fact that erasing data from a hardware using software is not a guaranteed way of ensuring that your data ever sees the light of day. As a matter of fact, check out DBAN&#x2

    Thanks for the comment. Yup, you can definitely destroy a hard drive (or almost anything, for that matter) yourself. This is just a guaranteed, safe and secure way to get it done for you. Also, we recycle all of the parts, nothing ends up i

    Thanks for the article, and I understand your concern. Adding FedEx as an upgrade option is something that is in the plans. Since we're just launching, we started out with USPS because it's the most cost effective and convenient (

    I understand your concerns, but this particular scenario seems a little far fetched. USPS would have to have a very strong interest in your hard drive. Know when you ship it. Intersect the package. Repackage it up exactly as it was. And fin

    Great question. Naturally, most of the inquiries or concerns around this service are going to revolve around trust and security. The obvious and straight forward answer is that we don't do that. The more complicated one would be that w
