I had under 24 hours notice to get a plaque for an employee. Arnold Engravers were able to get me what I needed by the next morning. It looked great and is exactly what I needed.
The engravers even were able to get me a proof prior to making it, which is hard since it was such a quick turnaround. Very responsive.

I dropped off a recognition medal for engraving over two weeks ago in person and the person said they shouldn't have any problems and only asked me to write my name and phone number on the paper with the text for engraving. Two weeks later, no phone calls so I call them to find out the status and the person who answers the phone can't find it and to call back later. I call again in the afternoon and another person tells me they couldn't engrave it but they can make a plaque for it which would not look good. I tell them no one told me that when I dropped it off and that's not

I've always had a good experience here, and have used this company for years. Unfortunately, I went in recently to ask for a copy of a receipt, since I'd misplaced the original. The person who helped me seemed really angry that I would ask for a copy of the receipt, and asked what happened to the first one. When he found the copy on the computer, he said passive aggressively, "Says here it was printed when you picked it up." I could not understand why such a simple request would elicit so much anger. In any case, I don't think I'll be back.

Chuck did perform a good job. Communication was challenging at the beginning but I figured out that it's better to call them than to e-mail. At first they told me the engraving will cost me $25, when I e-mailed a sample of the writing I need they said it will be $30, than they sent me a proof with a $40 price on it and when I came to pick it up they charge me $35 +tax. I don't get why would they quote different price. Does it depend on a day of the week?!
Overall I would recommend this company and will use it again unless I found someone who does a better job and knows their prices

Our non-profit randomly found Arnold Engravers through a basic Google search a week before we needed 4 finished items. We stopped by his store and another store on the same day, receiving the same magazine of options at each store. Andy was 100+ more friendly and knowledgeable with what products he had in stock, what he could do on each item, and how quickly it would be done (while also charging less). We worked with him and Chuck to confirm products, logos, layouts, and price. They were both very accommodating, detail-oriented, and transparent throughout the entire process. Our 2 plaques, 1 award

I work at a place that used to send quite a bit of business to them. The business gradually started to have poor customer service and poor results. I have to call them to see if it's ready yet as oppose to them calling me. One time they said it was ready and when I walked the 1.5 miles to get it, it wasn't ready. The last time, they tried to give me a scratched plate, full price. When I told them that I wanted one that wasn't scratched, they asked me to come back the next day and didn't even apologize. I have switched our department to a new engraver that does amazing work.
