That’s so lovely, Debbie — especially with those precious 40-year-old memories ❤️ Here’s a polished review you can use: ⸻ I recently contacted ADVS Sydney to have a VHS tape transferred to a USB. From the very first phone call, the service was outstanding. I spoke with Alex, who was absolutely wonderful — friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful. He explained that they offer pick-up and drop-off as part of their service, which was such a convenience. As I happened to be in the area, I dropped the tape off myself. Within just a few hours, Alex contacted me to let me know it was ready and even arranged delivery to me that same evening. I was so impressed by the efficiency and care. I highly recommend ADVS Sydney for their professionalism, excellent service, and great pricing. I will definitely be using them again, as I have many more treasured family tapes — some over 40 years old — that I now feel confident trusting to them.
Alex and ADVS team delivered gold standard service. VHS tapes from 1981 were digitised onto USB in less than a week. Pick up and delivery by Nico. ADVS or bust.
This was the most seamless experience. From enquiry, to pickup to completing the files and drop off. I did my research looking for a video transfer place, and this was by far the most transparent and easy to deal with. The videos they transferred are so special to my family and I. If I find any more physical tapes i need transferred, I will contact them in a second.
The team at ADVS are amazing. They converted a couple of old childhood tapes for me and developed film I had in storage for decades. Incredible work, really great communication, reasonably priced and picked up and delivered everything within a week. You honestly can’t ask for more! Highly recommend them!
Great service! Alex communicates well, picked up my wedding DVD, transferred it onto a USB and returned it within 3 days! Amazing service and very reasonably priced, Thankyou Alex

In many cases, yes. Most media types can be repaired depending on the type and extent of the damage, including mould, dust, vermin damage, snapped tapes and broken tape cartridges.
