The service was very fast, especially since it was so close to Christmas. It only took Heirloom two days to digitize my videos. I'm so grateful they made it possible for my family to see our loved ones again.

Jessica Hackworth, Summerville

I appreciate the professionalism, perfectionism, and digitized quality of converted VHS, VHS-C, and 8 mm tapes. Heirloom even fixed a cassette with bad tape!

Lisa Brown, West Ashley

Absolutely love Heirloom for how they preserve memories! I am a repeat customer, and I love their customer service, pricing, and efficiency. Highly recommend for all digital preservation!

Aashini Shrivastav, Charleston

We are so grateful for the work Heirloom has done. Having the family over to watch old home videos on our TV has become our new favorite pastime. I will be suggesting this company to everyone I know!

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I convert VHS tapes to digital near Charleston?

Bring your tapes to Heirloom at 11 eWall Street, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464. We welcome walk-ins Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm, with no appointment needed. Call or text 843-352-3528 if you have questions before visiting.
Is Heirloom a national digitizing service or a local Charleston business?

Both. Heirloom serves customers nationwide from its home in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Our Mount Pleasant location gives Charleston-area families direct access to a national digitizing company and a local team they can meet in person.
Can I speak with a digitizing expert before leaving my tapes?

Yes. Visit our Mount Pleasant office to discuss your tapes, their condition, pricing and digital delivery. You can explain which recordings matter most, ask about unfamiliar formats and discuss how you want your collection organized before approving the work.
Do Charleston-area customers have to ship their videotapes?

No. You can hand your tapes directly to our Mount Pleasant team and arrange to pick up your originals afterward. Local customers can skip the shipping kit and carrier drop-off, meet our staff and ask questions face-to-face.
Can you inspect my tapes before I commit to digitizing?

Yes. Bring your collection for a free inspection and an itemized, no-obligation quote. We will identify the formats, count your tapes and explain the cost. You decide what to preserve, then approve and pay before digitizing begins.
Can I bring a mixed box of family memories to your Mount Pleasant location?

Absolutely. Bring your VHS tapes, MiniDV cassettes, photos, albums, slides, film reels and other media together. We help Lowcountry families identify and organize mixed collections, including boxes inherited from parents or grandparents. Sorting and counting beforehand are optional.
How long does video tape digitizing take for Charleston customers?

We aim to complete most orders within two weeks of payment. Timing depends on the collection’s size, condition and playback requirements. If you are preserving videos for a reunion, birthday or other occasion, discuss your deadline with our team at drop-off.
Can I pick up my original tapes when digitizing is finished?

Yes. Local customers can collect their original tapes from Heirloom in Mount Pleasant after digitizing. Any recycling is handled according to your instructions. Your digital videos are available through your private Heirloom vault for viewing and downloading.
