Drop-off details (appointments, towns, collection areas) are on each provider page. Cine prices are for Standard 8/Super 8 by reel size (3in ≈ 50ft, 5in ≈ 200ft, 7in ≈ 400ft). Some figures are worked out from a published per-foot rate; these are marked on the provider page. "VHS from" is the provider's own headline price for one tape, and the unit is shown underneath. Trustpilot ratings are not shown yet because we could not fetch them reliably.
