Mr J O'Connell - Motherwell
Like most who will google such a service, it is an act of faith.  I sent our most precious tapes/ discs going back 23+ years ... various machines over the ages, all failed, so no idea what was on. First challenge was registered post during a Christmas period pandemic.  Next day Royal Mail delivery did not arrive ... for 5 days, then Jason advised us it was OK days before Royal Mail! You have no idea the relief to learn. Next issue was some broken tapes. Some repaired. Have absolute trust your guys tried their best. We received live commentary on how the recovery/ recordings was going. Again immensely reassuring. Then the challenge was to get back to us during Christmas post period.  You advised would be sent next day.  It arrived 24 hours later. What to say.  I estimate 10 hours of recordings tracking our 3 kids early years ... Christmas nativities, birthdays etc Jason, the joy for all here is indescribable!
GEOFF WOODWARD
What a fantastic, trustworthy service! Just before Christmas, I came across around 20 video tapes of various types, going back over the last 15 years, recorded on several different devices, most of which we had never watched before. I was slightly nervous about sending so many precious memories away in the post but I need not have been. It was great to get them back neatly transferred onto DVDs, & a nice surprise to get them in a wallet with a sharpie pen to label them, which I've now done. Very quick service, despite it being over Christmas. Great to be able to pay by Paypal. Everything about the service happened exactly as outlined on the website
Wendy Latham - Leicestershire
A very efficient and effective service.  I shall certainly use them again should the need arise.

I found Copy My Tapes through Google, and what a find! After considering others who were FAR more expensive (for the same service) I checked out CMT testimonials, and decided so many people couldn't be wrong! I sent my very precious tapes of past family events to them, and had an email as soon as they were received, which put my mind at rest that they hadn't gone astray somewhere. I was kept informed of time frames throughout the process, and when I received my DVD's back yesterday, I wasn't disappointed! I now have all those precious memories safeguarded for all time at such a reasonable price and am currently looking out more tapes from the attic to send to them for the same process. I am very happy to recommend this company to anyone thinking of using a copying service of this nature.
Ellie - Somerset
Copy My Tapes provided an excellent service: I sent them a thirty-year old VHS tape, and they were able to convert it to DVD in a few days. The picture and sound quality were very good considering, and the price was good - well worth it to re-capture those memories.
George - Biggleswade
Whenever I read one of these testimonials, I always think they've been made up by the person who's business is using it. I have been asked to write one by copymytapes.co.uk and for the first time in my life, I am actually willing to write a few words because of how impressed I was when I used the service they provided. I needed my wedding video copying to DVD as an anniversary present and left it very late. I wrote an email to copymytapes and I just knew by the swift reply that I was going to go with this company. The responses to email was quick, the service was spot on and the end result was brilliant. I think that the one thing people are always looking for in any website because it is not a face to face service, is trust. My own experience of copymytapes.co.uk was just that. What a great advert for a .co.uk company
Mr O' Connor - Manchester
Highly recommended ...friendly and very helpful with my questions in after sales. I sent around 24 much treasured home movies to be transferred ...when the green light was lit Copymytapes turned them around and delivered the disks in a super sturdy wallet ...(nice touch) ...they were also very helpful when I fired them some questions related to best video play back from a computer or telly.  Good one CMT!! “Jason and his team carried out a fantastic job in converting our families DVC collection into Mac readable files for our Apple TV solution. The responsiveness and professionalism shown were second to none, and I will not hesitate to come back for repeat requirements, and will also highly recommend Copy My Tapes to other people. All in all a great service and company

Simon – Hampshire
Your service is very professional and well done. Dealing with companies these days can be a real hit or miss but your company is a big hit. It was also very pleasant to be able to speak to someone who knew what they were doing and did so in a courteous and friendly manner. Thank you
Simon - Hampshire
A personal service delivered with such professionalism is hard to find these days. Many spend vast sums of money telling their customers and market that they do but, in reality, don't. This small but effective organisation hits the mark and I would have no hesitation in recommending them. I found them by accident on the Internet, used them to copy some personally valuable archive footage and was thrilled with the service and results. I hope others give them their business. Easy to deal with.
Mark - London
Excellent service - Jason copied two tapes for me, fast-tracking them through their process in a couple of days as I needed them at short notice. My tapes and DVDs arrived in perfect condition via Royal Mail Special Delivery on time for when I needed them. With there being so many VHS copying companies out there on the internet it's hard to choose who to go with but I can whole heartedly recommend Copy My Tapes - you won't beat them on price or service!
Chris Bowland - Belfast
Jason was very helpful before and after the sale. He answered my questions and gave me detailed instructions. He told me what types of film he could transfer and exactly how much it would cost. He even emailed me to tell me my videotapes had safely arrived to be copied. He then sent another email to tell me my completed tapes were on their way back to me. Jason provides the the kind of service that reminds me of the good old days, when people cared about their customers
Janet - France

Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your service at CMT. The quality is excellent and I've got quite a few more to get through so the quick turnaround is much appreciated.

Alan Hart - Kent
Just had to send a little note to thank you for your efficient service. My daughter was thrilled with the DVD and we had a great time this morning reminiscing over the DVD. My daughter will probably contact you in the not to distant future to transfer some of her tapes of the children. Thank you once again and best of luck for the future
Jenny T
Can't praise this company enough. What an excellent service from start to finish. Had an old vhs tape from 1988 copied and although Jason said the quality may not be too good I was really pleased with the copies. I have recommended Copy My Tapes to everyone
Diane - Manchester
I had an old VHS tape, protected by Macrovision, which had a special interest for me, and which had never been subsequently reproduced in DVD format. To have the tape transformed so brilliantly into DVD format was a very welcome service, and quite reasonable in price. The constant emails received regarding receipt of the tape, expected time the completed dvd would be despatched, etc, was evidence of a first class service. I have now arranged for a second, treasured, tape to be transferred to DVD. Improvements = I found the "advert" for the service to be fully informative. I had no unanswered questions. Any subsequent question was quickly and fully answered. I was kept up to date with progress in a very professional way, equally up to Amazon standard, whom I regard as one of the best retail firms.' I found Copymytapes through Google and was immediately impressed with the speed of service and cost. My wedding tapes were transferred onto DVD so I could relive the special day, and they kept it touch throughout the process with good communications.
South Woodham Ferrers
Really pleased with the transfers they look great, although they were 20 years old! I am very keen to know more about your editing service for my sons 40th party. Please email me costs.
Jenny, Cardiff
I had 15 Video8 tapes, which were of my family growing up in Hong Kong and our many holidays around Asia. These were very precious to us and after 10 years in the humidity of Hong Kong,some of them were in quite a bad state. One of them had snapped and seemed to have some type of mould on the tape. It was with some trepidation that I sent these tapes off to Copy My Tapes to be copied onto DVD's. The service from Copy My Tapes was great and they called me on 3 separate occasions to tell me that they were trying various manual methods to save the broken and mouldy tape, as due to it's poor condition, it just kept snapping. Finally we agreed that they should give up on that tape, but we really appreciated their great time and effort in trying to salvage it. The remaining DVD copies were great, and I have no hesitation in recommending Copy My Tapes to anyone. Great service and very nice people!!
Ms Ede Mayflower – Liverpool
Thank you so much for my two DVD’s, Iam absolutely delighted with the quality and fast service. Also the first quote I got was for £85 for the two tapes you did for me for £14!
Mr. G Williams - Banbury
I'd recommend Copy My Tapes to any first time tryers as they confirm receipt of your tapes and let you know when they have been dispatched with the offer of sending the originals back separately for added security if you want. I was so pleased with the quick service, excellent end product and excellent price that I've now submitted 2 more mini DV tapes to be converted to DVD.
Ms D.Black – London
On behalf of a friend, I sent an old tape, in an unusual American format, to Copy My Tapes. Others had been unable to transfer it, so I knew it was not straightforward. But they rose to he occasion and produced an excellent DVD copy. I'm sure my friend will wish to have the rest of his tapes processed by them
Ms Zinkiewicz - Fife
Service was very good and communication excellent. Would recommend. Thank you
Arthur – Scotland
I sent my tapes off as they was one of the cheapest, Jason phoned me to let me know he had got them he then sent back my originals and I then paid for the new ones and then he sent them to me. They were good quality and I found the service very good. My concern was postage but I was charged standard postage which I was happy with
Mandy – Surrey
Brilliant service. A1 communication. Very speedy service. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. We have spent many happy hours as a family watching the DVD's that you have copied us. Again many thanks - Christine
Mrs Grafton – Durham
Fast cost-effective service, with great communication throughout - Would use again for any further VHS transfers
Mrs Grafton – Durham
I was thrilled with the speedy and efficient service I received from Copy my tapes. I had two, my wedding day and a video of my children on holiday. Another company I applied to had quoted over £80 to transfer these to DVD. Copy my tapes charged me a fraction of this price and could not have been more helpful. The quality of the DVDs is superb. I highly recommend this company. I found them through Google, so I am not a friend or relative just a very impressed customer.
Mr Folkes – Warwickshire
Brilliant service! I sent one tape to be copied to DVD, it took about a week to get both copies back. If you send an email or text message they will get back to you pretty quick. The condition of the tape was the same as I sent it to them. I will recommend Copy My Tapes to anyone!
DB – London
We were delighted with the quality of the service you provided when we sent some video tapes to be transferred on to DVD. The family have had some fun watching the films from over 30 years ago. Thank you
Josh Douglas
A few months ago I had an old family Video copied by Copy My Tapes and I received excellent, speedy service. I wanted the tape for a particular family occasion and they it was completed and returned to me in record time, even before I had to pay the final payment. I would recommend this company wholeheartedly
South Croydon
Really happy to see my wedding video copied onto dvd. Jason did a great job and it is was inexpensive, and it was all done very quickly. Will definitely go back there if I need anything else doing.
Mrs Godfrey West Wittering West Sussex
I am delighted with the dvd's. The service was very fast and communication was good. I have recommended this service to my family and friends.
