    Your videos arrive by private Google Drive link, typically in 2–3 weeks. DVD and USB copies come back with your originals.

    Pick them up in Spring Hill, or Rewind pays to ship them back to you with tracking.

Packing checklist

Tapes are sturdier than you think, but a little care goes a long way.

  • Use a sturdy box, not a padded envelope
  • Wrap tapes in bubble wrap or towels so nothing slides
  • Label each tape, even with masking tape on the case
  • Include a note with your name and phone number
  • Ship with tracking and keep your receipt
  • Note any broken or damaged tapes on your order form
