I placed my order on a Monday and received it Wednesday of the same week!!! The ordering experience was very easy to navigate, once I placed my order, a e-mail proof as sent within a few hours for my approval. I approved and sent my e-mail back, receiving immediate acknowledgement and thanks. The products received are exactly as pictured on the website. I couldn't be more pleased.
Excellent product and service
Excellent work and beautiful design as I expected.
Best sale
The service was excellent! Fast and easy.
Very sincere honest folks with a great product exactly like promised.
After a search to find a award for our retiring pastor, I stumbled on DIY Awards, and I will have to say, that was the best stumble that I could have made. The website made it so easy to put my own spin on the wording and with the help from a DIY Rep, it came together and received the item within a few days of ordering.
Simple ordering process. I was able to chose the style I wanted from the many offered, and customize the writing to fit my needs. They did not charge for an added line and logo like some companies would have. I received my proof the same day, made one small change, and received confirmation within the hour. The final product came in a very nice box with foam padding. I am very pleased with the final product and the whole process was simple and professional. I could not ask for more!
