The service we us is a vendor storage service that stores our boxes that 
are archived.  Once a year we do a destruction of the boxes that are 
off-site approved by our Tax and Legal council.  The destruction takes at 
least 3 months or more... before a Final Destruction Certificate is sent 
to us.  Is this an acceptable turnaround time?

Thanks

Sue

;You did not mention if this was your own destruction service or a vendor 
destruction service.  If a vendor and their normal service is 90 days 
notification at a certain price, change your contract or find another 
vendor 
that will do it the way you want.  2 weeks or 30 day notification of 
destruction.  If you work in an area where there is only one vendor, then 
negotiate a different deal.  Be aware the price may go up, but most 
vendors 
will try to offer you the service you need.  If it is your own destruction 

service, talk to the boss and see if you can get improved service.  Seems 
to 
me that 30 days is an adequate turnaround time.  This is what we used in 
city government in California.
