No. Everything (and we do mean everything), including the film transfers are done on-site. The benefit is that our turn-around time BLOWS AWAY the competition. We’ve heard stories of a single VHS taking 1-2 MONTHS to get back when dropped off at the other places ~ or turns on film taking 4-6 months!?! Typically, when a client has a single videotape transfer we’ll have it ready within the week. Naturally, it does depend on our workload (and rush fees may apply), but we always try to give our clients a realistic time-frame at drop off.
Know too that the person behind the desk at any of these firms knows ZERO about your transfer. They are simply putting it in a box and shipping it across the country! Believe us, we’ve RE-DONE MANY transfers from unhappy clients of these stores. We’ve seen examples of a 30 minutes video with the content plus another 7.5 hours of blank static. When you choose us, you’re dealing with the actual people who do the work. Trust us…you’ll be glad you did. Feel free to hop on over to GOOGLE REVIEWS or YELP to read lots of 5 stars reviews about Action Video Service (there really is a difference)!
