High Quality Product Shipped at the Speed of Light
I ordered two awards from DIY Awards and this is our fourth time ordering from them. The reason we choose their products are because of the attention to detail, the quality of craftsmanship and they arrive faster than any other company we have used in the past. Highly recommend them for awards.

Great product but.. prices have gone up significantly. May have to look elsewhere. Plus, customer service was snappy when I brought it up.

Hi Melissa:
Thank you for your feedback and for your continued support.
We understand concerns about pricing. Since 2021, our pricing for the same awards has increased by approximately 10% over a four-year period, reflecting higher material, labor, and tariff-related costs while maintaining quality standards.
We’re also sorry to hear that your customer service interaction felt abrupt. That is not the experience we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.
Best Regards,
Customer Service

The awards are top notch! Love that you can still put your own touches on them to make them specific with colors, logos, and words. Review draft shows up as expected for approval, and it is a quick turnaround on the product itself.

Creating my DIY award required some effort, but I was really impressed with the final result. What I appreciated most was the ability to include more text than I could with other award services. Unfortunately, I initially ordered the wrong size, so make sure to double-check your selection. However, the second item I ordered was perfect.
