What customers experienced with R3?
Every review below comes from a real customer who trusted R3 with their data. These stories reflect real challenges, real recoveries, and the work our engineers do every day.
One of the most expert professional, efficient, trustworthy and caring businesses I have ever experienced. Andy is calm and reassuring to help one deal with the panic of data loss. The successful and quick data recovery performed on my broken USB stick was a miraculous result!
Fortunately, they were able to do a geat job for me for me after a hardware failure inside a WD 2 terabyte external drive. The vast majority of files were recovered. The interaction with them was very good, they made no promises that they couldn't keep and were very swift in response. The cost of the work i found quite reasonable ( first and hopefully only time user!) - but then again it really depends on what value you put on your own threatened data (backed-up personal photos & work files).
Amazing service. Don’t waste money and make matters worse by purchasing online options or software. These guys will sort it, if it’s at all possible. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
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.
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.
Thank you SO much for your great work in recovering my data from my USB memory stick. I had no recent backup (I know!!) and a lot of very valuable files which would have taken hours to rewrite. From the moment I spoke to Will, I began to have hope. No false promises, clear outline of costs, timescales and possible outcomes. Fortunately, I was one of the 97% "lucky" ones. All but 13 (unimportant) files restored and returned to me within 48 hours. So pleased I found you!! THANK YOU just doesn't do it really. Can only recommend you at every possible opportunity. x
Quick & efficient service. A little pricy but well worth it!!
Excellent service, saved me many days of work by managing to restore corrupted data
Just a message to say thank you so much for all the help you and your team have done to recover the photos from my wife's Corrupted sd card. She is so happy they're not lost forever. From start to finish your service has been 5stars
Spoke to Andy on Friday afternoon after all the files on my hdd were not accessible, he calmed me down and I dropped the disc in around tea time, Paul took a look and told me how the disc had failed and confirmed it should be possible to recover most if not all the data, and they would drop straight onto it. I received a list of recoverable files on Monday, paid the invoice which was actually slightly less than I was expecting and Tuesday lunchtime was able to collect the recovered data on a new hdd. Great service, reasonable costs and all my data was saved. Definitely recommend R3.
Great communication and swift service. Successfully recovered important mobile phone data for me. Thanks!
Excellent service very polite and helpful staff. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs help.
