We are based in Stellenbosch in the Western Cape. If you are not too far from us you can drop it at our office or otherwise you can make use of a professional courier company. The courier option is after all very beneficial if you are in other areas of South Africa.

Of course! Everything will be sent back to you shortly after it has been converted. If you send photo albums, they will be returned with your photos replaced in the album. If you send slide carousels, they will be returned empty with your originals in slide archive boxes.

It takes 2-4 weeks from when we receive your video and photo memories until we have finished professionally preserving them. If you have an exceptionally large order, it might take a little longer.
