Fantastic service
Fantastic service. I had three medals cleaned, re-ribboned and mounted in a black box frame. Couldn't be happier with the result. Highly recommended.

Helpful customer services and easy ordering process
I had a query before I ordered and my email was answered quickly and the response was very helpful.
The ordering process was easy and straightforward. My order was acknowledged and completed in a timely fashion. I was delighted with the framed and mounted medals.

Good workmanship let down by poor communication. It takes a long time to fulfill order and in that time there appeared to be no efforts to keep customers informed.

The ordering system does not show out out of stock items
The system accepted an order for 2 lapel badges.
A week later the order status had not changed so I emailed for an update.
I was told that the badges were out of stock and would be dispatched when available.
I was offered an expedited service if they were needed for a specific date and this was met BUT
There should have been an out of stock indication, perhaps with expected availability date, so that I could go to an alternative supplier if I needed to.

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the item being out of stock and for the lack of clear information at the point of ordering. We completely understand how this could be frustrating, particularly when it affects your ability to make an informed decision.
We appreciate your comments regarding stock visibility and expected availability, and this is something we will take on board to improve our website and ordering experience.
We’re pleased we were able to meet your required date once made aware, and thank you again for your feedback—it’s very helpful.
Did not send the complete order
Did not send the complete order. After a week of emails and phone calls I finally got a response.
Weirdly, the response was from the head of marketing! “ This is yet to arrive with us. As soon as it does we will get this shipped out to you.”
Mmmmm. If you don’t have the stock, tell me! I will go somewhere else but instead, let’s just take people’s money and not tell them. I could be waiting weeks, in fact it already has and still no delivery. I’ll be using other companies from now on.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re very sorry for your experience.
We understand your frustration with receiving an incomplete order and the difficulty in getting a response. This is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We also appreciate your comments regarding stock availability and communication. You’re absolutely right—if an item is not in stock, this should be made clear at the point of ordering so you can make an informed decision.
Your feedback has been taken seriously, and we are reviewing both our stock visibility and communication processes to ensure this does not happen again.
We’re sorry to hear that this experience has led you to look elsewhere, but we do appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

Tip Top Professional Service
Sent my medals away to be Engraved, Cleaned, Stay-Bright coated and Court Mounted.
Had them back today, neatly and securley packaged and i am over the moon with them.
Contacted them for advice prior to sending and during the service and all the staff were polite and willing to help.
Would highly recommend to my military friends

Good quality product
A good quality product, the medals and photograph were beautifully mounted and framed. I received the item back within three weeks of ordering. It had been carefully packaged and was well protected arriving in perfect condition.

Big Thank You
My dad is 96 years old and was proud to have served in Berlin during the airlift. He often talks about it but has never had a service medal for his time there. 'Empire' provided the medal with the Berlin Airlift' bar. It's great quality and my dad can't wait to wear it on Remembrance Sunday. Fantastic value for money . BIG Thank you !
