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. Your family films which you entrust 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 a 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,
some of which are misleading, some unreliable and some just
plain fake. 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!
- 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.
- What process are they using to
transfer your films. Everybody is 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 bough 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,
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. Think about it, if a web name
is a long winded with number "2" instead of
"to" or lots of hyphens then it usually means these
are newcomers to the field and are often best avoided as you
will may well be left disappointed.
- I could go on and on, but
wont.

warned! Get an example to be sure!
