expensive but value for money
Excellent service both in recovering data and after sales service. Frankly the price for the service is irrelevant when faced with loss of essential data. Delivery was prompt and efficient.
Excellent service
Fantastic service! E-mails were answered quickly and informatively, and the recovery team managed to get all of my data back for me in great time. I've learned my lesson about backing up my data but if anyone I know ever needs their data recovered, I'm absolutely going to send them this way.
My heart sank when my old 2GB flash drive 'died', knowing there was a lot of important and historical data on there. Advice from a family friend led me to R3 and I'm so glad I entrusted the recovery with them. The majority has been recovered with several corrupt files but I have the main ones I was hoping for! The service has been exceptional - extremely prompt response to my initial inquiry, excellent communication and customer service throughout, and organised collection and return of the drive. I shall learn by my mistake and make regular backups but I shall certainly know where to go if needed again! I can't thank the whole team enough.
The service provided was very good
Superb - saved my life. So organised, communicative, efficient, diligent. Within 24 hours of collecting my fire damaged hard disk, they had retrieved all my data. Sincerely, thank you!
R3 data recovery was recommended to me after I had a major problem with data lost on a discarded hard drive. I had not backed up any of my data. R3 recovered data I needed and could not possibly have recovered without them.
Fantastic service, kept well informed throughout the process. All questions answered promptly. Sending Hard Drive easy, clear arrangements, likewise on return following data recovery. Many thanks to Andy, Will and Nick. R3 Data Recovery are the real deal in a sector where sadly too many scammers operate.
Excellent communication during the whole process. Was even able to have my device collected from my house and taken to the lab on the same day so the engineers could get started. All files recovered within 24 hours, couldn't be more grateful.
Excellent Service all files recovered,couldn`t have asked for more.
Good service. Everything was fully explained throughout the process and any queries I had were promptly answered.
