Send us your file for conversion.

You can send us your .csv file through the chat. In the chat click the paper clip icon, select your file from the folder you saved it in, and send it to us. Or, if you have your download folder open you can drag and drop it into the chat.

FastBound will not and cannot modify your data. Any missing information will need to be corrected by you after we send your converted file back to you.

We will run your file through our conversion tool and send it back to you as a .xlsx file.

The converted file may be missing information. You will need to add this missing information to be able to import your file into FastBound. This missing information may include some or all of the following.

  • Acquire Type – This allows you to filter your Bound Book into smaller Bound Books. Please see our help page for more information.

  • Expired or invalid FFL Information – Our conversion tool will attempt to get the FFL info and FFL expiration dates from your file. If our tool cannot do that you will need to update your file with the missing information.

You can also add details to your import file before importing your items into FastBound. These are all optional.
