After fighting with the website for about 3 hrs to get it to take a handful of reciepts i decided i was better off using my own scanner and storing the reciepts myself. Either this service is very bugged or they intentionally made it work like this to encourage you to send your reciepts to them and pay a fee. Another very noticeable thing, if you do happen to sign up for a subscription there is absolutely no way to cancel it through the web page and you end up having to call them. Only to spend 30 minutes waiting for the 1 guy that they have doing customer support to call you back. Also god forbid that you are 2 hrs into your next months subscription they will want to keep the money that you have sent them. You’ll end up having to dispute the charges on your credit cards to get any satisfaction from these people. If i were to describe this service in a few words i’d have to say it’s nothing more then a “Cash grab”.

It's tax season and just thinking about the gathering, organizing and storing of these little pesky pieces of paper, called receipts, shoeboxed sounds like a small business owners dream come true. Minimizes the stacks of binders and boxes I have full of receipts in my garage and I can finally park my car in there or put my clothes away where it rightfully belongs. And, a wonderful way to stop receipts from fading. Have you ever noticed how those "fade proof" papers happen to fade faster than any other receipts you have. Thanks shoeboxed for creating this service for unorganized small home based businesses like myself. And, for $20 to $60 a month, gosh, that beats paying a book keeper or a college student to keep my books in order. Saves me a lot of money and time. This is a no brainer. My question, are there any other programs like this available besides shoeboxed.com? Just wondering.

That's correct, I'm not a fan of high concept Hollywood popcorn flicks, either. Kendall, you know "Ward Bergan" is really Ted Betz trying to be pretentious by reinventing himself with another name. Ted was always very expert at playing the role of a filmmaker, in love with the very idea of it all. But really, he should take daddy's money and just make a gritty low budget drama along the lines of a Dogme 95 film, free of all the bullshit like special effects and CGI. Ted, stop trying to be another Michael Bay, for God's sake. Personally, I think films shots entirely in front of a green or blue screen are rather cheesy.

I immediately thought of Ted Betz's movie "Strides". If you haven't watched Strides, I would highly recommend it!

Replying to the previous comment, consumers are interested in the technical functionality (the "how") unless that's what you're selling. Consumers are interested in the benefit that will be derived from using the service - centralized organization of receipts, no more taking paper receipts home, ease of use.
