Delivery/Postage
For good reason we only recommend and use 'Traceable' and 'Insured' delivery services (see our 'Post It' page for details). These services offer signed delivery, tracking and varying degrees of insurance, depending on your choice of service. If for any reason a dispute is raised regarding loss or damage of your goods in transit, your claim should be directed towards the delivery service used. We will do everything we can to assist in this process.
All Productions and original materials are returned via Next Day Special Delivery or Door-to-door Courier service. Both of these services offer tracking & compensation as standard.

SAFE N SOUND - If requested, we can arrange to send your original materials to you after you have confirmed delivery of the production items. This method ensures that at least one copy of your film or Video is 'Safe n Sound' at any one time. If you require this service, please advise us prior to completion of your production.

INSURANCE - If you require additional insurance coverage for your returned goods, please check the details of coverage with the delivery services we provide and let us know what coverage you require prior to despatch, as we cannot accept any claims for lost or damaged goods in transit.

DVD-R or DVD+R Compatibility
If you have not already done so, please read our advice on DVD-R or DVD+R Compatibility

The DVD-R & DVD+R disks that we use are generally regarded as being the most compatible disks currently available. These disks will operate perfectly in most DVD players (or PC DVD-ROM drives). However you should read the section on DVD compatibility issues and be aware of the issues relating to DVD-R and DVD+R media. We will work with you and do everything we can to make sure your production is what you hoped for, but we cannot take responsibility for incompatible technology!

Turnaround Times
Because most of our services require careful and time consuming processes' our normal turnaround time is 5 to10 days for smaller orders and 10 to 15 days for larger ones. During peak periods such as Xmas we will advise you of our current turnaround.

If available, our 'Fast-Track Service' guarantees turnaround within 3-5 working days of receipt, depending on the size and complexity of order. However, this service must be requested and confirmed by phone prior to sending in your order. You will be given a 'Fast-Track' number to include with your order. (This service is NOT available during peak periods of high volume orders).
