We got our visas back this week. For the same reasons as Betty, I shopped around for the lowest service fee I could find and we paid the same fee as Betty ($19 each) and included our own prepaid return postage.

I put our passports and applications in the mail on July 24 and they were back on July 31. I too was a tad nervous but it worked out fine. Since the service was recommended on the China consulate's website, I figured they were legitimate. It worked very well and I would not hesitate to use this company again.
