"I'm happy with both the product and service from Nostalgic Media. After my father died, I found among his things some old negatives for photos I have never seen. In less than 2 weeks, I was looking at photos of my grandfather and a historic flood in our area. I was especially impressed with the communication letting me know my negativees had arrived safely and then again when they were on their way back to me. Well done!" - Shelly T.

So thankful

I’ve had tapes sitting around for years and finally took a chance after speaking to somebody at Nostalgic Media. They were very nice and reassuring. I sent four tapes through UPS. The turnaround time was quick and the quality is amazing. I am so glad I took the chance and grateful to watch family memories

Glad I had this done!

When cleaning out my closets, I came across old VHS-C tapes in a box. I wasn’t sure how to go about having them saved , but I found Nostalgic Media and am so glad I did! The process was quick and easy. Within a couple weeks, I had a thumb drive and CD’s that I’ll be able to share with my adult kids. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to save and share memories!

Digital files were received timely and done well. Looking forward to sharing old videos with our grandchildren so they can see their parents at their age. Just sent a second order to get another 12 tapes converted!!
