From the moment I placed my order

From the moment I placed my order to the actual received finished product the communication was excellent.
The expected delivery date was 28 working days but received the framed product approximately 9 days from the time I posted the medals etc off to receiving the completed framing. All done to an excellent product that. Was perfect for me and my family. The medals were cleaned and ribboned and presented perfectly in order.
My experience with Empire Medals is 100% satisfaction and thank them for a beautiful product in memory of my father during WEII.
Thank you Empire Medals.

Looks fantastic.

The box arrived safely wrapped in bubble wrap. The item is hand made using real wood. I like the hooks that you fix inside to hold the medal bars - except the screws that came with it are slightly too long - filed off the excess - although it’s at the back of the box - it might scratch the wallpaper. Both sets of medals are proudly presented - looks fantastic.

GSM ribbon bar. N.I.

Really pleased with the workmanship and overall look of medal ribbons. Got one for myself and 3 others for my comrades who served with me. A surprise gift for them.Im sure they will wear with pride on formal occasions. Delivery was a bit longer than expected, (but when you realise the amount of orders they must receive, it's no surprise)that been said wasn't too long a wait for what is a quality item. Summerise, great product, great price, great service. All items securely packaged and a complimentary sweet was a nice touch. Will definitely use again, happy to recommend. Many thanks to all the team concerned. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic quick service, high quality

Fantastic quick service. The quality is really good, I also asked for a change to the inscription after I’d received the frame I’d ordered (my fault not theirs) and it was no problem and resolved very quickly.

Miniature medal.

My medal arrived a little later than expected, however, when you realise how busy the company is, that was acceptable. My medal was swing mounted (like the original). It is top quality and well packaged.

Customer service is non existent

Customer service is non existent, they take for ever to carry out orders and site is not clear when ordering. I ordered a medal bar for my wife’s medals for when she has to wear on her uniform on a few occasions. The order was late and only acknowledged when I contacted and then it took another couple of weeks. I missed the tab that indicated sow on or bar and ordered the wrong one which I accept but I contacted and the lady said she would send the right part but nothing, it’s been going on since November so I’m unable to recommended then. Very poor service. Order 94819

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the delays and communication issues.

This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we completely understand how important it was for your wife to have the correct item in time.

We’re pleased that this has now been resolved, but we recognise that the overall experience fell short. We’re reviewing what happened with your order to improve both our turnaround times and communication going forward.

Thank you for your feedback—it’s genuinely appreciated and helps us do better.
