Awesome medals they are perfect.

"Awesome medals they are perfect. very professionally made. Only thing is they arrived a week later instead 1-3 busniess days but its fine. Good thing I ordered them ahead of time before needing to use them. Other than that great product. Will buy and recommend others."

Kaley G. (5/5)

A company dedicated to improving

"I specifically noted that last year my medals arrived with bent ribbons because of the way it was packaged. I could tell this year you spent extra time on the packaging and it looked great. Thanks for taking my concerns seriously and ensuring I look my best."

Shaun H. (5/5)

Fantastic!

"Everything was great! The website was easy to order! It looks just like it does on the website. Came in a great display case, and it actually arrived on time for when I ordered it! I highly recommend ordering medals from them!"

Cheap

"I spent over 150 dollars for something I felt like would’ve been better made. I mounted them to my blues jacket and in less than 24 hours they literally fell apart without me wearing the jacket. Whatever adhesive is used must come from a dollar store tucked away in some secluded part of a small town. I feel if I’m spending close to 200$ the least they should do is properly glue the medals to the pins. Everything else was fine though."

Donovon M. (5/5)

Everything looks great.

"Everything came well packed and in good order. My only suggestion is to make sure the ribbons are marked out in some way. I thought they were missing from my order because it looked like packaging."

CHRIS R. (5/5)
