Very pleased
February 13, 2022

I had some old reel-to-reel home movies that were about 55 years old. I had previously tried to have them converted to DVD by a local company, but was told they were too old and degraded. As I had nothing to lose by trying Southtree, I boxed them up and mailed them. The process was very simple; just put the bar codes on and send them in the box that was included. I was very surprised and pleased that my home movies were able to be preserved! The quality of the DVD is remarkable considering what they had to work with! I am extremely satisfied!

Memories from the past to now.
February 12, 2022

Had old movies that were just sitting in a corner collecting dust. Southtree took these memories put them on a flash drive for us to show our grandchildren. As for my wife and I going back many years brings happiness and a little tear.
Modern technology to bring back old memories is a blessing.
Thanks again.

Reliving happy memories
February 11, 2022

South tree always kept in touch and let me know how my order was coming along…. They asked if it could be delayed because of the Christmas rush and it said yes. Getting my movies back was certainly worth the wait!
Yes, I would recommend Southtree because of their customer service! My movies are so fun to watch after 40 years.

Completely Satisfied
February 11, 2022

I had worries about sending irreplaceable family memories off to strangers. Through four separate orders, with a total of over six hundred individual images, my experience with Southtree was excellent. The staff that I dealt with acted friendly and professionally at every contact. I would recommend Southtree without reservation to anyone. If you think this review sounds too good to be true, I don't exaggerate.

Make sure to transfer your old tapes
December 11, 2021

I'm glad I finally had southtree transfer my old tapes. They were probably diminished in quality from sitting around for years but Southtree transferred all of them to a flash drive which I immediately transferred to my cloud storage. They did an excellent job on tapes and slide transfers. Don't wait any longer and trust that Southtree will handle all your materials with kid gloves. They sent me back everything in a sturdy box just as I sent it to them. They include all shipping and boxing costs in their price so no additional charges.

Memories preserved
December 10, 2021

Everything was handled exactly as promised. The flash drive had everything on it... each in it's own file making it simple to view/share just the content you choose.

Poor communication about our order.
December 27, 2021

Promised communication about our order was non existent. On the other hand we received almost daily advertisements when we had already ordered what we wanted. We finally blocked the number after we got our order.

Stressed Out and Sad
November 20, 2021

I can't even watch the CDs and we used to watch the tapes every Friday night. It's been months. I've been distressed. The quality is terrible. Some CDs are blank!

They did a great job transferring my tapes and even when I had an issue with one of the tapes, they took it back and was able to correct the issue quickly. Promises of quality work kept!

Great experience.
October 7, 2021

Sent 10 VHS and 8mm tapes in a box supplied by Southtree…waited a couple months and presto! I had an easy USB plug that I could put into my big screen tv and have a party with popcorn, along with a lifetime of memories and laughs! I plan to send another 10 tapes to Southtree again soon. Thanks for the great experience!

Great conversion of memories
October 7, 2021

I am impressed with the converted digital files. I had a small issue getting the promo code to work and there was an. Issue with one of the tape's audio initially. Customer service was able to quicky address both issues.

Old tapes
October 7, 2021

Have sent in several batches and have been pleased with every one that has been converted. On one batch it turned out 3 tapes were blank. They gave credit to send in 3 more at no charge. Some were 45 to 50 yr old 8 mil tapes and they came out really good. I am very pleased with their work. Just sent another batch today.
