Your best moments deserve another play.

Our standard service and calculator cover both full-size VHS and compact VHS-C camcorder tapes. We have a VHS-C adapter, and the pricing is exactly the same with no adapter surcharge. For other formats or unidentified tapes, email a description or photo before arranging drop-off so we can confirm what we can accept.

Each VHS or VHS-C tape starts at $20, or $18 per tape for orders of 5 or more. That includes up to 2 recorded hours on each tape. Every additional started hour costs $8 per tape. For example, a tape with 2 hours 10 minutes of recordings has one additional hour charge. The calculator applies your average length to every tape. Extra time is charged using each tape's recorded length.

Choose “I'm not sure” for recording length. We'll show the base estimate, with extra recording time still to be determined.

Yes. Your original tapes are returned along with your digitized memories. Keep them stored safely even after you have saved your digital files.

A private download of your digital MP4 files is included. You can add a USB copy for $15 per order. Download and back up your files after delivery; we will communicate the download availability period with your order.

Damaged tapes, playback problems, and visible or suspected mold need a separate assessment before acceptance. Email us first. We can't promise repair or recovery. Digitizing preserves the available recording; it doesn't turn VHS footage into newly filmed HD video.

Local pickup, delivery, and drop-off are available by appointment in Lewiston, Maine. Email hello@savemytape.com or send an inquiry to arrange a time. You can also text or leave a voicemail at (978) 333-3971. Typical turnaround is 1 week for local pickup or 2 weeks for US mail-in orders. We’ll confirm timing before you drop off or send your tapes. You arrange and pay inbound shipping. Return shipping and packing materials are charged at cost, with no markup or handling fee. The estimator includes rough contiguous-US return postage and packing ranges: $10–$25 for 1–5 standard VHS tapes, $12–$30 for 6–10, and $15–$45 for 11–20. These estimates are based on full-size VHS tapes; compact VHS-C tapes may cost less to pack and return. They are not guaranteed maximums; actual cost depends on packed weight, box size, and destination. If suitable packing materials can be reused, you pay only for any new materials needed. Alaska, Hawaii, US territories, oversized shipments, and larger collections are quoted separately. Send an inquiry to confirm the mailing address and availability before sending tapes. Timing can vary with tape count, recording length, and condition.
