Warning? Here is a few reasons why: Unfortunately, we have had many imitators over the years, flattering yes,  but not doing work to our high standards. We are genuinely reluctant to criticize 'competitors' as this can seem very unprofessional, however our experience over the years has persuaded us that it is only right and proper to make customers aware of the shortcomings of some other operators.  While most web sites are genuine, some are misleading, some unreliable and some just plain fake. At first glance most customers like the idea of using a local camera or chemist shop as you can drop your films off in person as they are worried about posting the films. However, you should think again. HD Cine film scanning equipment is not something you can buy at Maplin, it is very expensive so most local shops simply don't get enough orders to buy this sort of technology so they are most likely sending it on to a central company like us anyway, then adding their own markup. Why pay twice? Your family films are priceless and irreplaceable. Before you send your films off to what is quite possibly someone's back bedroom or garage side line at least carry out some basic checks. For example: Do they have a UK land line contact number? Avoid 0845 or mobile numbers as these are not geographical and may not even be in the UK. (we can be contacted directly on 0141 556 5358 or free-phone on five lines 24/7 on 08000 141666) Are they a virtual company based in a house or in an actual retail shop? You can check this quite easily by using Google maps street view, take a look using the postcode and it is shocking how many "companies" are actually flats and houses that could be someone in a untraceable rented bed sit. This is very important, as you probably know the internet is full of websites offering goods and services. We are not just a virtual website but a UK based 'bricks and mortar' premises based in the high street. We welcome customers to call into our retail drop of shops at 15-23 Tollcross Road, or you get us to come to you and collect your films instead! Most customers send us their films directly using Royal Mails safe next day "Special Delivery Service" (this is not just the red label recorded delivery mail service, but a highly insured service that is prioritized and a guaranteed next day delivery or your money back (meaning they take very good care of your package!) What process are they using to transfer your films. Everybody's doing it these days. In our opinion they cant all have bought HD scanning systems costing tens of thousands of pounds a piece for each and every film format. The only obvious conclusion is they are simply projecting your films with an old projector and filming it with a camcorder. Rest assured, we have been transferring films since the 1980's and where one of the first to buy online domain names in 1999 meaning we purchasedt all the good descriptive domain names for media transfer including 16mmtodvd.com, cinetodvd.com, cinetodvd.co.uk, videotodvd.co.uk, vhstodvd.co.uk, hi8todvd.co.uk, minidvtodvd.co.uk, svhs.co.uk, polavision.co.uk, 16mm.co.uk, digital8.co.uk, svhs.co.uk etc. Accordingly the volume of film we receive allows us to invest in the latest digital scanning systems using no heat LED backlighting and safe sprocket free film transfer mechanisms to safeguard your films from damage.  Don't take customers testimonials at face value. Most of the ones we have seen online are almost all so gushy and praising they appear to be fake. We only display genuine hand written thank you cards and letters received from our customers as our testimonials. All of which are on display in our reception with permission from the senders to corroborate their recommendations. I could go on and on, but wont.  you have been warned! Get an example to be sure!
