Got a cup engraved they did a wonderful job ! They did it the same day and had great communication.

Substandard customer service especially if you have a concern or issue. If you want high quality products, don't come here. Its no longer named Blackie's but Awards Unlimited. read more

Bummed to see the most recent reviews as Blackies is under new ownership. Unfortunately a team parent recently ordered our trophies and they're all incorrect as well as a few missing. It's so easy to order online. We appreciate our small businesses on third Avenue and wanted to support the local business. Lesson learned as we had no trophies for our banquet. read more

Had my order for a month. Had to call to get an update. Had done nothing. Told me to comeback the following week. Went in the following week, nothing had been done. Says they had a question but never bothered to call. Then made no effort to correct the situation. I highly recommend finding another vendor. read more

Last minute they were able to apply this figure to a marble base and engrave a custom plate for it. My friend who is a Superman fanatic LOVED it!!! Thank you Blackie's Trophy for pulling through for me at the last minute and charged me a very fair price. read more

Awards Unlimited - Trophy Shops Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I ordered a clear acrylic award for a retiring employee and asked if they would be able to affix a company emblem coin on the face of the award. I was told, "no problem." When I went to pick up the award, there was visible dried glue that had dripped down from under the coin and there were glue fingerprint smudges all over the acrylic exterior. The award looked like something a kid would have made in Kindergarten art class. When I complained, I was given a 10% discount. I took the $136 hunk of junk home and threw it in the trash. I was much too embarrassed to give that to my employee. If you want a professional looking award or trophy, DO NOT shop here. Just ask your kids to make one. They would probably do a better job anyway. read more

I'm giving it a one star because there is no option of half a star. The previous owners were amazing. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for these new owners. They are not only rude, having awful customer service, They also turn in their trophies dirty and dusty and don't even give you something to carry them. And when I asked for a bag they told me that they wouldn't put it in a bag so then I suggested if they had a box they had the audacity to say no. Very unhelpful and rude. Never going to give them my business ever again!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. They do amazing work and are such nice people. Thank you so much for engraving my son's name and date on my necklace. I am so very grateful, thank you. read more

Brought my Fantasy Football League's trophy in to get a new face-plate, the league name, and all the names engraved into it, cuz the previous plate just had the nameplates stuck on. The actual work they did on the trophy, was exactly what I asked for. My issue with them was their communication with me on the trophy being ready or not. I came in, dropped the trophy off, and they got my number and said it'd be about 5 days, but they'd call me. A couple weeks go by, I assume they were just busy, but I called to see if it was ready. They tell me it's been ready for a while, and waiting for me. I don't know why they wouldn't call me at that point, but it wasn't an issue. After I came in to pick it up, I noticed spelling errors in people's names(they didn't spell check to the trophy's previous nameplate's names after copying them), and the format I asked for the names to be, was also changed. Gave it back, they said they'd fix it, took down my phone number, and AGAIN said they'd call me when it's done. A week goes by, and no call. I call and ask if it's ready, they tell me that they couldn't get around to it cuz they had gotten a big trophy order for a police station and had to push my work back. Which again, is fine, IF they had just called me to tell me what they needed to do. So I ask them a third time to please call me when it's finally ready. And again, they didn't, I found out by calling another week later a couple days after it had been finished. I also asked if I can get a picture of it emailed to me or sent to my phone, they originally said they don't do that, but said they would send me a picture to my phone so I can check it before I head in and waste my time. I never got a picture of it. Why even tell me you will, or even get my number(which they should've had on file after me giving it to them 3 separate days). It was finally ready, looking good, after having to come back on 3 separate occasions. The engraver was the one there when I picked up my trophy. She said the normal way for them to do things is to give me an estimated finish date for me to come back in, they don't call. Which I told her would've been fine, but it's not what I was told was going to happen. The other woman took my number down each time I called or came in, said she'd call when it's ready, and also told me she'd give me a proof before I came in on the final day. None of that happened. Also, didn't give me a call to tell me my work was pushed back cuz of how busy they were. All they needed to do was take 30 seconds out of their day to communicate what's going on. read more

Our company needed some acrylic awards for our best customers. Each would have our company logo engraved plus the company names of (4) different customers. They had a great number of styles, sizes and options to choose from. We were late getting our plan together, pressed for time and didn't want to spend big dollars for either a rush fee or the awards themselves. After a very brief discussion they came up with a solution that met all my needs, completed the project early and made me look like a hero. I'm awesome =) read more

Sabrina at Blacie's Trophies went the EXTRA MILE and did MORE than I expected. We had an unusual request and she and her staff completed the order ahead of schedule knowing what we needed. THANK you Blackie's Trophies - our event was a success! I highly recommend this vendor without reservation! Women in the Wind International, Inc. read more

I've done business with Blackies for years. They are low pressure, local brick and mortar merchants and I'd found that they always work with my timeframe. Unfortunately, I was a minute late to my meter (parked right outside the store) and an Ace Meter maid must have been standing, waiting for the meter to expire. A transaction that took a few more minutes than anticipated ended up costing me an additional $37.50. I will now search for a merchant with an unmetered parking lot. read more

I needed a plate engraved for a cremation urn done immediately, for an unexpected death in my family. Not only did they make it quickly but did a beautiful job. So grateful to have met them. read more

Reasonable rates many options to look at. Location isnt the cleanest shop lots of clutter but overall not bad.

I have chosen to give this establishment my business for many years, but I think this will be the last time. There are so many options to choose on the internet, but I was trying to support a local business. After picking up medals for my son;s team, I was disappointed that I wasn't told "thank you for your continued business" or something along those lines. She just took the payment and that was it. After getting home and looking at the engraving on the back, which you could barely read and did not look professional, I decided that was it. My other son's team bought their medals on the internet and they turned out great. The engraving was readable and dark. Blackies needs to step up on the customer service and work on their engraving! read more
