Christopher Wadley

1665444285

I had a large shredding job - about 70 large bankers boxes. Ultrashred Technologies came on the date and time I requested and worked for 2 solid hours to shred every last piece of paper. The office staff (Amanda) and the driver (Lavon) were very professional, responsive and pleasant to deal with. Lavon was prompt, professional, clean and worked to see that the job was as easy for us as possible. In addition, their cost was substantially lower than the other firms we contacted. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to a friend. Sorry, but I can only give you 5 Stars - you deserve more.

John Landis

Tina Nardi

I submitted a request for a quote on the website and within minutes received a call back. They were able to schedule us for a shred just one week out on our requested date. We thought we had 100-150 boxes, turns out it was closer to 250. Lavon was the driver who did all the shredding right here on sight. He was very friendly and professional and did not even bat an eye at how badly we underestimated the quantity. It was done in just a couple hours. I highly recommend UltraShred!

Jeff Norman

1651867909

We can't thank the UltraShred Team enough for the professional service they provide for our company. If you are looking for a company you can trust to get the job done when it comes to document shredding look no further!

Daniel Keller

1649981851

First time using these guys. Dropped off two bags to be shredded. They came out to my vehicle and took the bags from me. I later received a certificate of destruction. The price was very reasonable considering how long it would have taken to do it with my home shredder.

Karen S

1649962343

Great service. On time and quickly completed shredding job.

Michael Smith

1648151207

Outstanding service. Every other place I called as I went down the list either became a automated phone directory and being put on hold, or just several rings with no answer. These guys picked up right on the third ring. They said they would take my documents to be destroyed if I could drop them off that day. When I showed up it was pouring buckets of rain and they still came out to my truck to help with everything. They were very professional with all the documents and I felt very secure with their service. Bravo Zulu!

If you are searching for a document shredding company, this is the place. It is by far the most efficient, friendly, and competent service company that I have done business with in Jacksonville. Every person from the scheduler, to the accountant, to the on site personnel who came to my home to shred my documents were superb in what they do but also were genuinely nice people. The service was promptly rendered, and the price was more than fair. Use this company. You will not be sorry about the decision.

Raymond Border

Appointment was made immediately, Documents were picked up and shredded within 24 hours of my initial contact at a great price. I had been waiting 2 weeks for a call back from another local well known service at a price 2x UltraShred's. UltraShred's service was awsome. Will never consider any one else or shredding needs.

I had an SUV full of sensitive documents to shred. I chose to use their "drive in" service on Friday. My appointment was at 9:20 am. I stayed in my car, they unloaded everything and I was on my way at 9:23 am, receipt in hand. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM. They will also come to you for pick up if you so choose. Several business owners I know, use them and love their pick up service as well.

Price quote was consistent with the proposal initially given, communication via email with the office was effortless, and Kenneth was incredibly personable. Very happy with the service and would keep them in mind for any future shredding needs and would highly recommend for anyone looking for secure shredding services.
