How is taking chains to a shop easier than doing it yourself?
Even if you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner you can just shake chain in a bottle of degreaser and the waxing is swishing it in a cooker full of wax for a bit. What happens when it gets dirty again? Are you going to take it back to the shop to get re-waxed? That sounds like more hassle and money than the DIY method.

I've been convinced that it's worth doing for MTB.
I've just convinced myself that it isn't worth doing for MTB, at least not til it dries out in spring/summer
A couple of winter rides has absolutely fucked my waxed MTB chain, have gone back to wet lube for now mainly for the corrosion resistance

I've been convinced that it's worth doing for MTB. But I can't be bothered procuring the wax, stove, etc. So I've bought 2 cheapo chains off the internet and I'm taking them to Two Wheels Good in Stoke Newington later this month. I've given them a ring and it's something they can do for you. I can clean the chainring and cassette etc myself.
Will see how it goes. An option worth considering for those without the gubbins/are too lazy.
