Caitlin G.

We took our fragrances here to get engraved; for what we were going to wear on our wedding day here. The pricing was fair and we got our bottles back within a short amount of time. They engrave a lot of different things and have a wide selection of customizing beautiful keepsakes. I would come back again!

The engravings brought joy to the interment of my siblings.

Exquisite details and craftsmanship. All the guests took photos of the engraved urns. Even the nun at the cemetary who worked on the internment took photos. So lovely!

First and foremost, I would like to say what a fine establishment this is. I needed to have an engraving done for a Zippo lighter for Father's Day done by this week, and Orange County Engraving was more than able to accomplish that. I tried a few different businesses, but none could help me with the specific engraving I desired. Zoe, by far, was phenomenal at assisting me with that. Zoe was very communicative in trying to assist me in attaining the right photo to use for engraving and beyond helpful in taking the time to walk me through what was needed. If you're looking to get something engraved personally or commercially for that matter, then look no further. The quality in the work they put forth speaks for itself and at such a reasonable price as well. If you are looking for a business that embodies being helpful and communicative, all while putting forth their best effort, then look no further. Thank you once again, Zoe!

Bought a pair of fine glass wedding champagne flutes, including 4 lines of custom engraving, likely etching, for $60. This shop has a big selection of glasswares, vases and plaques to choose from first hand, more convenient and assured than ordering on line, not knowing exactly how the products will turn out. Prices are better than average, may be 50-60% lower than comparable on-line shops. Ours is one off order, but looks like they can do very good deals on large-volume orders. Finished products were delivered in a gift paper bag. They could do more and better business selling fancy gift-wrapped boxes, so we don't have to look for them. The shop is on Tustin Ave in Santa Ana, off Fwy 55. Personnel are polite, helpful and professional. They are the best engraving shop in price and quality we have found in OC so far, so I have to give them 5 star. We would come back for other personalization needs.

Horrible product & even worse service: Run from this place! There are plenty of other options. I initially called asking if they could do a very basic project which required two steps. They confirmed they could and asked me to take pictures of the item from both sides and email it to them. Through email, they again confirmed they could do the basic request, gave me a price, and told me to drop it off to them. It was a 90 minute roundtrip drive. When I arrived, the only person working said they couldn't do one of the two parts of the job. I explained that I called and emailed them, both times, resulting in them confirming they could do it. He claimed it was a "miscommunication" between us. No, it wasn't. It was as very simple project with a very basic explanation, including pictures, and they simply messed up saying they could do it. There was no miscommunication at all, so it wasted 90 minutes of my time and gas money, since I would have to find another place to do the second part. While there, they measured the plate size I needed, charged me for the project, and said they could have it sent out within three business days. 10 days past with no response from them, so I called to inquire. They didn't call me back. Three days later, I received a text saying it was ready for my to pick it up. I explained that since it was about 10 days later than they said, I needed it mailed since I wasn't in the area now. When I received it, the piece was far, far bigger than what was needed to fit the project. Even though they measured it in front of me, they somehow entirely messed up the size. More, what they sent was entirely different than what they claimed it would be: their "plastic laser engraving" was a sticker. I am not joking; the plaque they tried passing off was an adhesive that looks as cheap as it sounds. They then told me to measure it, and they would send out another sticker (which is all they did). This "product" they produce can only be a few dollars. I called them out for: 1) Wasting my time and gas money originally with their false confirmation they can do the project 2) Claiming it would be sent out within three business days (which didn't happen) 3) Me having to call them for an updated 4) Waiting another three days before I heard back 5) The item being entirely wrong in size compared to what they measured when I was there I explained that an ethical place would refund my charge and send the proper item (again, their cost has to be very, very low for it) to me immediately. They refused to do that. To show their true character and lack of ethics, at no time during any of their errors did they apologize, accept fault, explain why they kept messing up, or have basic business ethics. The product was bad enough. Their handling of their numerous errors was even worse. Update: The merchant responded to my review and even their response is not accurate. The merchant claimed "Your work order was reviewed and the information pertaining to the size and material needed for your project was stated there and acknowledged by our staff and yourself." That is entirely false. The measurement was taken by their staff in their office. They did not send a work order with the measurements, since the measurements were taken in front of me. However, the actual product they sent was a significantly different size than what they measured in front of me. Only after they had made numerous errors and had delays did they then send a new work order that actually included the measurements, after I had to do their work and measure the item since they dropped the ball on that, too. So no, besides all of the other issues, the size wasn't acknowledged by me via a work order like they claimed. Only after they made numerous errors and sent me the wrong sized item did they send yet another work order with measurements on them (after I had to provide the measurements to them). Their first attempt at a work order, without measurements, is attached.

Owner said it will be ready "midweek", he will call me when done. Thursday the following week no phone call so I called at 10:30. Owner said he was not at work (they open at 11) but he would call me when he got in with status of job. At 4:30, still no call, so I called again. He was a little put out that I had called and said he would take care of it immediately as it wasn't done. I told him I was running out of time and I needed it. He said come in tomorrow after 11. I went in at 3 PM on Friday, the charm was engraved, "48" on the front and "26" on the back not "2026" as the order stipulated. He also didn't give me a receipt when I dropped it off so I took a photo of the order which clearly said to engrave "2026" on the back. In his rush to finish the job, he failed to set the machine up correctly for the back. If I had my own business and was backlogged with work so bad that I had to give a 7 day lead time for a simple engraving job that would take 1/2 hour, I'm sure I'd be working more than 6 hours a day, 5 on Friday and not working at all on the weekends. So, in summary, if you want the owner to not call you when he said he would and engrave an expensive piece of jewelry incorrectly, he's your guy.

GoFab - Some coasters Jason had made for my car club!

Another fine craftsman, found on Yelp!…read more I found GoFab when searching for machine shops and metal fabricators on Yelp. The reviews looked great, so I did my usual armchair vetting by checking the reviews on Fakespot.com, a website that verifies the legitimacy of user reviews. GoFab is rated "Grade A"! I wanted to replace an automated front door lock with a newer wireless model. The only problem was that the newer lock face plate is smaller than the old one. This would leave exposed screw holes in our door which would be obvious, even if patched. I needed a custom decorative plate to cover the old holes. I stopped by GoFab and met Jason, a surprisingly young man for being proprietor of such an advanced shop. He instantly understood what I wanted. Within two days he emailed me a detailed shop drawing of my piece. It was exciting to see my idea one step closer to reality! I should mention that this was a bit of a rush job which Jason finished for me in ample time. The finished product is beautiful and fully serves its purpose, the cost was reasonable and Jason is an exceptionally nice person. I am happy to recommend GoFab and to add my 5-Star review to their growing list of perfect reviews.

He does a very beautiful job and you can tell that he really enjoys his work. I commissioned Mirai's Blood Sword from Kyoukai no Kanata and it turned out exactly as I pictured it! It was the correct length and the curves were very nice. He even beveled the edges to give it 3D dimension. The only thing I am concerned about is the blade being too heavy for the handle. Other than that, it was beautiful! I would definitely commission Jason for future products. I have been recommending him to some friends as well. If you have a project, you should ask him for a quote!!
