2023 Trophy Store Reviews

Awardsco

• Cost: From $3 to $235
• Free ground shipping within the continental US on orders over $100

Awardsco is the best resource available for ordering trophies, awards, certificates, medals and plaques for practically any imaginable activity or recognition ceremony. Although the company operates under several different names - Awards International, Chicago Trophy Co. and RGP Industries, to name a few - they are all united under the Awardsco online store and brand. In business since 1958, you can rest assured that whatever your needs may be, this retailer has the expertise to help you get the perfect trophies and awards for any occasion.

Broad range of trophies

Don't let the categories on the site fool you: under "Sport Trophies+", you'll find a very broad range of interests and activities. Naturally, you'll be able to get the basics like Baseball, Soccer, Dance, Hockey, and so forth. But, you'll also find fun options like Arm Wrestling, Cooking, Paintball, Bocce Ball, and even Fantasy Football. This is also the part of the site to look for Bobble Head Trophies, if that's your thing.

Broad range of trophies

Beyond the not-so-appropriately-named Sport Trophies+ section, you'll also find Corporate Awards, Medals, Personalized Gifts, Certificate Plaques, Classic Plaques, Sale Items... and even a stand-alone category for NHRA Drag Racing. Seriously, if you can imagine it, you'll probably be able to find it somewhere on the Awardsco site - and if not, just ask! Their customer service team is available Monday through Thursday from 8A-5P and on Fridays from 8:30A-3P (Central Time).

Easy navigation

We really like how clean the organization is on the Awardsco site. With some trophy stores, you're left to browse through way too many options once you've chosen the category you need. But, with this retailer, you're not left to wade through endless choices. For example, if you select the Soccer category, the next page takes you to several images showing you the possibilities: Trophies, Medals, Plaques, Column Trophies, Glass Trophies, and even "On Sale" Trophies.

Variety of trophy options

Once you've identified the perfect trophy, you'll be able to see all of your options at a glance. Pricing is shown on an easy-to-read chart that explains each price based on the size (if applicable) and quantity you need to order, typically in increments of 1-24 trophies, 25-49 trophies, 50-99 trophies, and so on. You'll also be able to choose any color options for the trophy style you select, along with any additional options. For example, for a column-style soccer trophy we liked, there were 10 different color patterns (solids, iridescent, even soccer ball graphics) and 15 different figurine styles (male, female, kicking or upright, just a ball, and so on).

Free trophy personalization

All trophies and plaques include personalization at no extra charge. Medals have a small personalization fee, depending on the kind that you order. See each medal's product description for more details. Want to add a team or corporate logo? Awardsco does that too.

Rush orders accepted

For most items, you can expect production to take 1-3 days, and then shipping requires an extra 1-4 days via UPS Ground. The site has a handy delivery date estimation tool as well, letting you know when your order should be on your doorstep. Plus, Awardsco accepts rush orders, if you need your trophies in a hurry: you'll need to call their toll-free number or reach out to their sales team via email if this applies to you.

Free shipping over $100

Like most of their competitors, this trophy store gives you free ground shipping on orders over $100 within the lower 48 United States.

Loyal customer base

Awardsco maintains a top-notch reputation for customer service. First, their "A+" rating and accreditation with the BBB are strong indicators that the company does an excellent job with respect to customer service. Plus, we found lots of reviews from customers who have bought their trophies from Awardsco for many years, specifically because of the fantastic quality of the products and attention to detail by the customer service team.

Return policy

If you've ordered too many trophies, or just don't like what you've received, you'll have 10 days from delivery to make a return request. Of course, if you receive trophies that are broken or damaged in some other way, you'll need to contact Awardsco within 5 days of delivery to let them know about the broken merchandise. In this case you should save the shipping boxes so that they can file a UPS claim if necessary.

Highest rating

Awardsco earns our highest ranking. Why? There's just no other trophy store that can match their history of superior customer service for more than six decades. Whether you need a flawless crystal pillar for honoring a retiree at a corporate recognition event or simple ballerina statues to thank your dancers for their hard work during the year - or virtually any other type of ceremony where you need trophies and awards - this company takes out all the guesswork and leaves you with the perfect thing for the occasion. Awardsco is our preferred trophy store.

Dinn Bros Trophies

• Cost: From $2.25 to $385
• Free ground shipping on credit card orders of $100+

From 1956 until today, the Dinn Bros. family has been serving within the trophy and awards industry, delivering world-class recognition products across a wide range of categories for teams, organizations and individuals around the nation. Based in Massachusetts, this trophy store boasts a first-rate online store that makes shopping a pleasure - which can be a breath of fresh air compared with some of their rivals' websites.

Trophy categories

Where should you start? That's up to you. Check out the categories across the top of the page and see if something clicks:

• Trophies
• Plaques
• Medals
• Ribbons
• Silver Awards
• Desk Sets
• Acrylics & Glass
• Figures
• Emblems
• View More - takes you to even further categories like Championship Belts, Door Plates, and Outdoor Plaques

Interest areas

Alternately, if you know the interest area and want to see every possible award that matches, look at these links:

• Sports
• Games & Activities
• Academic
• Business & Career
• Religious
• Events & Holidays

Good customer service

If you can't find what you're looking for, you can use the search box or get in touch with Dinn Bros.' customer service team via live chat or toll-free number. Judging from our interactions, they'll be happy to help.

Impressive variety of trophies

We're really impressed with the variety of trophies and awards available at this retailer. Did you know they make plaques and trophies for Black History Month? How about a trophy with a tractor on top? Or what about a medal for the games played at your next family reunion (killer Scrabble tournament, anyone?) The choices really are endless with Dinn Bros.

Find what you want

Once you've chosen a category, this site makes it simple to narrow down the options. For example, when looking at Golf Trophies, we could sort all of the 35 results by name or price - or we could use the links of the left to see options under $5, as well as awards in different styles like medals or pins.

Everything you need to know

When you select an award that meets your needs, the individual product page tells you everything you need to know: what date the item will ship by, personalization options, and even photos and reviews from actual customers. You'll get up to 40 letters for free on your personalization, but you'll have to pay 10 cents per character beyond that.

Save $10

If you sign up for the Dinn Bros. email newsletter, you can save $10 on a prepaid order of $250 or more, and you'll also get free ground shipping on a prepaid order of at least $100. Keep an eye out for a pop-up with that offer.

Dinn Trophy Guarantee

The Dinn Trophy Guarantee is one of the best we've found: because your complete satisfaction is their priority, they offer a full exchange or refund if you're not 100% happy with your trophies or awards. They don't specify a time limit, restocking fee, or any other fine print, which is pretty amazing.

Even a zombie guarantee

And seriously, how many trophy stores offer a ZOMBIE GUARANTEE?? (Please find that link at the bottom of their site. So worth it.)

Great customer reviews

Dinn Bros. gets high praise from their customers. We found lots of people who said that everything about their trophy-buying experience was fantastic from start to finish: easy to order, simple to make any customizations, fair pricing and on-time delivery. When a store has an average rating of 9.95 out of 10 stars over more than 3,400 reviews, that's worth considering.

Strong choice

For all of these reasons, Dinn Bros. is an easy choice as one of our favorite trophy stores. While we'd like to see them drop the charge for extra characters beyond the free 40, everything else this retailer does for its customers is impressive. You'll definitely want to check out what Dinn Bros. has in stock for your next order of trophies, awards, and other unique items!

Same Day Awards

• Cost: From $3 to $220
• Free shipping in lower 48 states on orders of $95+

Although Same Day Awards has only been in business since 2013, owner Paul Mazzaferro brought more than 20 years of experience in the award-creating industry to the table when opening this trophy store. This retailer specializes in, as the name suggests, fast turnaround on orders of trophies, plaques and other awards - with 95% of all orders shipping within an astounding 24 hours.

Hard to get started

You'll have to go through some cloak-and-dagger hoops to get more information about Same Day Awards' inventory, ordering process, and customer service. We're not sure why all the mystery, but you have to fill out a contact request form to even see what they offer in their online store. Once you've done that, you wind up on a landing page with a link to their online store. Incidentally, that online store is hosted under a different URL, OrderFastAwards. Confused? Us too.

Fast turnaround

But if you need high-quality awards in a hurry, trust us when we say it's worth it to jump through those hoops to get to the online store - because Same Day Awards is absolutely killing it when it comes to getting orders to customers right on time, especially for those last-minute needs. You know, when your boss asks you if you got the plaque for Tom's retirement party - tomorrow. Or, you forgot that the number of kids on your baseball team increased from the start of the season to now - and Awards Night is in two days. Yes, we've been there too!

How do they do it?

So, how does Same Day Awards get it done, when so many other trophy stores take days (or weeks!) to get your orders delivered? Here's what they say:

• Their main location is less than five minutes away from the "world's largest supplier of 'at once' inventory"
• Cutting-edge technology that engraves accurately and quickly
• Drop-ship capabilities from 31 other US warehouses that let them ship the trophies and awards directly to you, while sending the engraved/personalized plates to you separately, and you attach them DIY-style

High customer praise

And, you know this company isn't just pulling a fast one when more than 1,000 customers give Same Day Awards a perfect five-star rating. Comments describe the store's attention to detail, even on the most rushed orders, their satisfaction with the excellent quality of the awards and trophies delivered, and especially the company's ability to keep their promises when delivering lightning-fast.

Shipping costs

Naturally, you'll have to pay extra for rush shipping - no one does overnight delivery for free, right? On the other hand, Same Day Awards has a slight edge over the competition with free shipping within the lower 48 states on orders of $95+, or a flat rate of $10.19 on smaller orders. Your expedited shipping costs will depend on where you live and whether you're looking for same-day, next-day, or longer, so keep an eye out for that information on the product pages of the trophies you're considering

Trophy types

So, now that you know this is a first-rate trophy store, especially in a time crunch situation, what kinds of awards do they actually offer? Plenty! The types for you to consider are easily sorted:

• Same Day Corporate Awards - Rush Service
• Acrylic
• Clocks/Desk
• Crystal
• Cups
• Fantasy Football
• Heroes
• Medals
• Gifts
• Pins
• Plaques
• Trophies

Shop by sport

You can also shop by category, such as a particular sport like Baseball/Softball or Swimming. You won't find non-sports awards in that section, but you'll find them in the dropdowns in the previous section. For example, under Trophies, you can get products related to Academics, Animals, Billiards, and many more areas of interest.

Working with the results

Once you've identified a subcategory for your trophies and awards, you'll get a results list with everything Same Day Awards has to offer in that area - and you can sort the results by price, popularity, availability and more. Unfortunately, the site doesn't let you see what's in stock by smaller groupings, like material or trophy style, so you'll still have to do some browsing to find what you want.

Reasonable pricing

Prices are very reasonable at this trophy store. For instance, a mini football gold trophy starts at a single-piece price of just $3.59 plus shipping. Your discounts increase the more you buy: 3% on orders of 8-23 trophies, 5% on orders up to 71 items, and so on. If you scroll down on the product page, you'll get a more detailed description of the trophy or other award, along with some suggested "Related Items" if the one you clicked on isn't quite what you had in mind.

Return policy

Same Day Awards has a return policy that is relatively average. Any return must have a Return Merchandise Authorization number, and returns must arrive back at SDA within 7 business days of delivery. Expect a restocking charge of 15%, plus a $2/trophy charge for engraved plates. Not surprisingly, engraved crystal, glass, plaques, medals and acrylics are nonrefundable, and return shipping is at your expense.

Great for last-minute trophies

At the end of the day, we could definitely live without the weird requirement to submit your contact information in order to get access to Same Day Awards' online store. But, given the company's wonderful reputation for rescuing people needing last-minute trophies and other awards, competitive pricing, and relatively easy-to-use website, we feel very comfortable recommending Same Day Awards as a good option among trophy stores - especially if you need your order to be delivered ASAP.

Crown Awards

• Cost: From $3 to $399
• Free shipping in contiguous US on orders of $100+

Crown Awards has been manufacturing and supplying awards for youth sports and corporate businesses since 1978. This New York-based trophy store genuinely believes that "the customer is always right", as amply demonstrated by their nearly 100,000 5-star reviews from very satisfied shoppers.

Solid platform

Although the website for Crown Award's online store isn't the slickest we've seen, it still provides a solid platform for finding the trophies and other awards you need for your club, team, or company.

Lots of trophy categories

Take a look around the site - both across the top and down the left side, depending on whether you're on a laptop or mobile browser - and you'll quickly find categories to help you navigate to what you need. Trophies? Plaques? Medals? Glassware? Corporate Awards? You'll spot all of that and more across the top. Scroll down a little further and have some fun browsing the specific categories of awards on the left side: Ugly Sweater Awards?! Cornhole Trophies?! Pinewood Derby too?! And yes, of course, you'll be able to click on lots of traditional options like Football, Cheerleading, Little League and Golf and many others.

Narrow down your selection

Let's take a look at a popular category like Dance Trophies. We like that once you've selected the interest area, Crown Awards takes you to a page that lets you easily sort through the possibilities. You can either click on a subcategory image, like Dance Medals or Glimmer Ball Trophies, or you can click the checkboxes on the left side of the page by price or style. You'll find compatible sorting options at the top of the results too, if you would rather see items in order of price or only a specific award type like Cup Trophies or Medals.

Over 100,000 customers

When you've figured out which trophy or award you'd like to give out, the individual product page will walk you through everything you need to know and choose, from prices based on the size of your order to color options and additional suggestions. Best of all, because Crown has a customer base of well over 100,000, many of the trophies and awards have numerous customer reviews, so you can get someone's first-hand perspective on how the awards looked after production.

Solid delivery dates

Like most of the trophy stores we evaluated, Crown Awards offers free ground shipping on orders of at least $100. They offer rush shipping, and you'll need to call their customer service department to get a quote. Whether you choose standard ground shipping or one of the expedited options, Crown will gladly calculate your order's delivery date, and customers say that it's a huge relief to know exactly when their trophies will arrive - and that the date quoted by Crown is almost always dead on.

Engraving costs

On the other hand, one area where Crown comes up a little short of the competition is their engraving costs. For most awards like trophies and plaques, the first 40 characters are free. Beyond that, you have to pay for each extra character. Okay, maybe 12 cents per character on a trophy doesn't seem like much, but if you're ordering 500 trophies and need an extra 10 characters on each award, that definitely adds up!

Return policy

Crown's return policy isn't the best - or the worst - that we've seen. If for some reason you want to return your trophies or other items, you'll need to notify the company within 7 business days of delivery. Returns are subject to a restocking fee of 30%, and customized items like crystal awards and engravable rings are non-refundable. This doesn't apply to things like trophies or plaques where the engraved plates can be removed and replaced with a new one for the next customer.

Very good choice

Ample options, near-perfect customer feedback, and a simple-to-use website that makes it almost hassle-free to order the right trophies for your next awards night: these are just some of the reasons that make Crown Awards a very good choice among trophy stores.

Decade Awards

• Cost: From $4 to $2,777
• Free shipping on orders over $100

Based out of Washington State, Decade Awards has been family owned-and-operated for more than 13 years. This retailer has the internet's widest selection of trophies and awards for all occasions, from traditional sports recognition ceremonies and spelling bees to more novel recognitions like fantasy football leagues and even BBQ competitions! Whatever you're looking to honor, reward or promote, you'll find a trophy or an award for that when shopping the Decade Awards online store.

Large orders welcome

Whether you need one trophy or 100, this retailer can accommodate your order. You'll save money on larger orders of the same item, of course, but if you just need that one-off award, Decade Awards is happy to help.

Thousands of trophies

Navigating this online store is no problem at all. You can either shop by category, sport, or corporate awards, or simply type the kind of trophy you need right into the search box. You'll find thousands of possibilities, ranging from small figurines on plastic bases - making those "everyone gets a trophy" moments oh-so-affordable at $4 each - to the crystal obelisk-style Pinnacle Peak Corporate Award, for the luxury price of $2,777.95. (On that end of the spectrum, we wonder if most award-winners would prefer the cash, but hey, to each their own!)

Sale and clearance

If your team or organization needs to stick to a tight budget, be sure to check out the Sale and Clearance tab. Don't think that all you'll find there are the tacky rejects no one wanted to buy: when we took a look around, we found some cute cheerleading and baseball picture frames for under $5, a few fun "team bench" coach awards for hockey and basketball, and several other options for less than $20.

Wish list

Once you've selected the award or trophy you need, it's easy to enter the necessary information for any customization needed, colors/styles, and so on. You'll also see any customer reviews, if available, as well as any upgrades or options that can be chosen for your particular product. And, if several different trophy styles catch your eye, just save them to your wish list so that you can go back and compare them later.

Free engraving

A big perk offered by this trophy store is free engraving on all trophies and awards. Even if you need to add extra lines or characters, you won't be charged for them. However, if you need extra plates - on a plaque or sign, for example - those may come with additional fees. So, when you see number of engraving lines or characters/spaces per line, keep in mind that Decade Awards can usually use a smaller font size to accommodate the extra letters you need. That's great service!

Free shipping over $100

Ground shipping is free within the continental United States if your order is over $100. Otherwise, you can get a quote for your shipping costs right on the shopping cart page, after you've entered the items you might like to buy. Just enter your zip code to see your approximate costs.

No stated return policy

One drawback we found with our most recent evaluation of Decade Awards is a missing return/satisfaction policy. In the past, the store has offered 30-day returns on any non-customized products - and, logically, even customized products can be returned if there's an error on Decade's side of the production process (such as incorrect spelling of a name from what was submitted). But, during our most recent visit, we discovered that there was no information about returns on the "Shipping & Returns" page or the FAQ. The business has no rating from the BBB - but no registered complaints there, either. So, we think it's reasonable to assume that their return policy is the same, but it may be worth the ask if you want your own confirmation.

A lot to like

Overall, Decade Awards offers an easy-to-use website with one of the best selections of trophies and awards that you'll find anywhere. With competitive prices and some higher-end options than many of their rivals, this could be your trophy store of choice. However, with a now-missing satisfaction and return policy, Decade Awards has moved down slightly in our rankings - and we hope to see those policies explicitly stated once again at the time of our next evaluation.

Quick Trophy

• Cost: From $5 to $169
• Free shipping on orders over $100 in the lower 48 United States

When you're ordering trophies, sometimes your orders can get slowed down or engraved incorrectly because of communication problems between the site where you placed your order and whatever supplier they use to fulfill it. Not so with QuickTrophy! As they will proudly tell you, "we are the factory!" Located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, this trophy store maintains an extensive inventory of trophy and award components, so that your orders can be prepared and shipped within just a few days - no middleman involved.

Easy to order

Although some of the images on the QuickTrophy site are pixelated, giving the impression of this store being less-than-current, we found it fairly easy to use this online trophy store for ordering awards. You can start with the categories at the top of the page - Trophies, Plaques, Medals, Corporate, Engraving (if you already have a trophy and just need a newly-engraved plate for it), Unique (Pet Urns?! Growlers?!) - or use the Quick Sport Select to go directly to some of the store's most popular selections, either in that dropdown or a little further down the page.

Just for fun

Just for fun, we decided to see what QuickTrophy had in the Beauty Queen category. We liked being able to see subcategory images, like Participation and Perpetual styles, or having the option to "View All" (we don't recommend the latter, because especially in categories with lots of options, it'll get overwhelming!).

Cumbersome results list

The results lists are actually rather cumbersome. For example, we clicked to see everything in the Beauty Queen Participation Trophies section and got a long product list with about a dozen options - and no way to sort them by price, size, or any other criteria. It was easy to see the pricing, description, and color options, but our eyes started to glaze over as we browsed all of the possibilities.

Shipping estimator tool

If you have a specific date by which your order needs to arrive, we encourage you to use QuickTrophy's shipping estimator tool. Enter the number of items and your zip code, and they'll provide the estimated delivery date for your order. Of course, if you need a more specific timeframe, the company encourages you to give them a call to double-check the information in the estimator tool. Ground shipping is free on orders over $100 within the lower 48 United States, and there are six other delivery options if needed (3-Day Select, Next Day Air, and so on).

Strong reputation

Despite a less-than-polished website (compared with rival trophy stores), QuickTrophy enjoys a very positive reputation. The Better Business Bureau gives the company a flawless "A+" rating, and although the independently-verified customer reviews are relatively small in number (just over 300), the average rating is an impressive 4.9 out of 5 stars. Shoppers say that their orders are processed quickly, delivered right on time, and that the customer service team really lends a personal touch to the whole process.

Satisfaction policy

Another reason for this trophy store's good reputation is their satisfaction policy. Although they stop short of calling it a "guarantee", QuickTrophy gives you 30 days from delivery to request a return or exchange. You'll be charged a "small restocking fee" (they don't specify the amount) if you want a refund, but exchanges for any other trophy or award in their selection are completely free of charge. Remember what customers said about that personal touch?

Room to improve

We really love it when companies deliver on their promises, especially with leaving customers feeling appreciated and delighted, and QuickTrophy definitely makes that happen. Their online store could use some upgrading, particularly when it comes to long results lists that could be filtered and sorted by relevant criteria. But, for shoppers who like supporting smaller businesses that offer quality trophies and awards that easily compete with the big names, QuickTrophy should be a name to know.

Trophy Central

• Cost: From $5 to $504
• Free economy shipping on orders over $100

Over the last 20 years, Trophy Central has provided trophies and awards for more than 100,000 customers - including more than 60% of Fortune 500 companies and nearly 10,000 elementary and secondary schools.

Trophy categories

You won't have any difficulties finding what you need on this well-organized trophy store's site. Across the top of the page, you'll see helpful categories to guide your shopping:

• Trophies
• Trophy Cups
• Plaques
• Engraving
• Crystal Awards
• Medals
• Pins
• Ribbons
• Certificates
• Gifts
• Promotional
• Trophy & Display Cases

Finding your trophy

You can also scroll down the home page and see if anything catches your eye, click on the dropdown at the top of the page to shop by category/sport/school subject, or simply enter a search keyword or phrase.

Not as many selections

Trophy Central didn't have as many selections as we were expecting in certain categories. For example, under Funny/Gag trophies, there seemed to be only one style: a horse's rear end! Also, under the Science category, there were only a handful of certificates, one trophy, and a few assorted medals and pins. But for some of the more popular activities you'd associate with awards, like sports, there were usually at least two dozen options for trophies alone.

Extra work

Once you've selected a particular award, the product page will give you the details you need regarding pricing and any other options. Pricing is usually dependent upon the number of items you order, typically in increments from 1-9, 10-49, 50-99, and 100+. We didn't like that you had to click on a tiny blue link to see samples of color options (for example, the pedestal or column for a trophy) - many of Trophy Central's competitors make that much easier to see without having to take any extra steps.

Reasonable return policy

Trophy Central has a reasonable return policy. Items can be returned within 21 days for replacement or refund, as long as the product hasn't been engraved. However, if the engraving plate can be removed and the item can be reused, the customer service team at Trophy Central will make every effort to accept your return. You may have to pay a restocking fee ranging from 15-25%, depending on the item.

Rewards program

This is also the only trophy store we found that has a rewards program. While the details on the site were a little thin, generally speaking you'll get rewards points on every purchase that can be redeemed for anything sold on the Trophy Central site. You'll have to set up an account on the site, and you'll be enrolled in the program at no cost. If you regularly place orders for trophies and awards - quarterly ceremonies, yearly awards banquets, etc. - that could be a strong factor to consider ordering from this retailer.

Satisfied customers

Trophy Central enjoys an "A+" rating from the BBB, and it's hard to find any negative customer reviews for this trophy store. By all appearances, it's a good place to shop for awards of all kinds.

Better choices available

But, when compared with other retailers, this shop has fewer options and the site isn't as clear when looking at various options for personalization, colors, and so forth. If you find what you're looking for on the Trophy Central online store, you can order confidently knowing that it's a reputable company that will do everything possible to make you happy - but it just doesn't have the options we found on some of the higher-ranked stores we reviewed.

Blue Ribbon Awards

• Cost: From $4.50 to $167
• Free shipping on most orders over $200

Have you ever visited a website that makes your head hurt just to look at it? You know, small print, tiny or pixelated images, and a design that looks like it's about 15 years out of style? Blue Ribbon Awards and Trophies is that kind of site.

Hard to use

If you don't know what you're looking for, you're going to have to scroll through tiny links on the left side of the page: Cell Phone Accessories, Leather Gift Items, and Promotional Items are just a few of the categories that really didn't seem to have anything to do with trophies and awards.

Confusing options

When you finally do get to the set of links for Trophies, you'll have to know if you want Corporate, Resin, Traditional, or Cups. What if you want a Corporate Cup style? Which one do you pick? We're not sure it matters, because you'll be scrolling and clicking for a while anyway.

Be prepared to search

Even when you click on one of those - let's say you are looking for a Traditional Baseball Trophy - you probably aren't going to find it in a hurry. You almost have to design what you want from start to finish. A single column trophy? Oh, NOW you might find one that applies to baseball... after you scroll through the ones for archery, softball, bowling and more.

No customer testimonials

They may (or may not) have a great reputation in their local market of Dallas/Plano, but it's not too encouraging when you click on the Testimonials link and get a black screen. Evidently their mission to "Recognize the Extraordinary" doesn't extend to their online store's design?

No refunds

There's also nothing beyond the ordinary with this store's policies and practices. You'll have to spend twice as much money to get free shipping - $200 - compared with most of Blue Ribbon's rivals. Because every order is created on a custom basis, there are no refunds. Period. Even if there's an engraving error on the company's part, you'll get a corrected replacement or a similar new item. Most of the trophy stores in our review will at least accept returns on items like trophies, with a restocking fee, because the engraved part can be replaced with a new plate for another customer.

Overall disappointing

With so many trophy stores that provide an intuitive online shopping experience, along with friendly customer policies and ample evidence of doing a fantastic job with delivering high-quality awards on time, it's hard to see why anyone would shop at Blue Ribbon Awards. We're certain that you'll have a more satisfying shopping experience if you buy your trophies and awards from one of our higher-rated retailers.
