Ordered a plaque for my husband's retirement from the Marine Corps. I went in 4-5 weeks before I needed it and was asked when the event was. And then said it would be ready the day before. It should have only taken 2 weeks to be made. So I feel like I should have been able to pick it up as soon as it was ready vs being made to wait the maximum time before it was actually needed. Upon the day of pick up it wasn't ready due to some issue with the engraved plate having to be redone. So I had to wait a little bit longer to pick it up. Upon picking it up I felt the wood used had a lot of scratches in it but it was painted over. I asked about it and the guy said that it was just inconsistencies in the wood. Which I get, but then, isn't that what sanding is for? It just seemed like there could be steps to improve quality here. The staff is cold. I agree with other reviews on this. Did I overall feel like it was worth the money? I had a specific idea in mind and only they provided what I wanted. So I did feel it was worth the money. Could service improve? Yes. Definitely. My husband was happy (because he wasn't expecting it) so l guess that's all that really matters here. read more

I got a plaque for my SgtMaj and they made a very obvious Grammatical error after I sent them what to type. They just needed to copy and paste. I couldn't replace the gift in time. To make it right for messing up a $300 plaque they slap me in my face and just give me $20 bucks off when I order two more. Not a way to make things right would not recommend people to a business that takes advantage of people and doesn't own up to their mistakes. If you mess up, make it right. read more

Interestingly enough, the MCCS website lists The Engraver's Gallery and not the engraver in the main MCX. I mean.... Either that was an oversight or subliminal messaging, but I followed their recommendation. Ha ha ha!! This is veteran owned/operated, small business that I am more than happy to support. It's in a commercial area adjacent to the new Super Star Car Wash on the 76. I wasn't in a hurry for my engraving by any means, but if I was, I suspect they'd do their best to accommodate a time frame. (Albeit, probably at a cost--and I'd happily pay if in a time constraint.) I'm taking another project in soon. I have a plaque that I want to recreate with a name change, and they said they can do it! How exciting! (They found my unit badge online and are toying around with it to make it work! Super stoked.) SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!!! read more

We needed engraving on our equipment tags and we saw this business while driving by. We've been using engravers gallery for 2 years now. The team are very professional, fast and reliable. One time we needed the tag right away. They went above and beyond to have it done fast. Highly recommend this place. read more

They do it all. Fast and professional. Great place to get an award. I definitely recommend them.

I rarely use this place but when it comes to last minute plaques this is the place to visit. I have had order last minute few times and had given them no turn around time but their efforts reflected by providing me the product in as little as two days. Great communication and prices are affordable. Location is great to the Camp Pendleton base where it best supports all the military personal on their farewells from units. Recommended!!! read more

Very helpful and had a fast turnaround! Needed a last minute military going away plaque and I was very impressed with his flexibility and professionalism on making sure he could make me a nice plaque in under 3 days! Will definitely be coming back for future purchases. read more

They did a plaque for a buddy leaving and had a great timeline and really good perspective on the idea I explained. They also helped design it so it looked really good and gave us a product that was a lot better than I had envisioned. read more

Exceptional service and attention to detail! Worked with us to get it just right and did so at a reasonable price....

I've came to TEG twice for plaques now after my previous "plaque guy" started slacking. I love this business and the products they have provided me so far! Giving parting gifts is an important tradition to me, so having a company that provides a quality product and delivers it on time is a huge stress reliever. Customer service: On point Product: High Quality Prices: More than Fair Turn-Around Time: Excellent :) read more

If you really want to go somewhere and have them make you feel like a complete idiot, come here. The old bald guy has an attitude problem. I came here and needed a plaque on short notice and totally understand if they couldnt make my timeline and they could not make my plaque in time. Totally fine because i shouldve came sooner but they were very sarcastic towards my questions. id give it 0 stars if i could. Do not go here. read more

Bad service, very rude just for asking information about the services. I was just calling to see how they could help me, but you would think I was asking for free services or something. Unprofessional. Tried to make me feel stupid for asking questions. Some of us don't know much about engraving! Would give 0 stars if able read more

This is my second time working with TEG! My first experience was very pleasant but quick because I only needed some dog tags and small engraving done. Nevertheless, I needed to have two sets of tags made before my husband deployed. It was a rush order and they accommodated me within minutes. I didn't pay a fortune and their prices were EXTREMELY reasonable for such short notice! The tags came out beautiful and they were clean. Needless to say, I knew they did great work. Walking into TEG, they have visual representations of their most of their work hung on the walls. Also, they have a facebook page with images of their work and this really helped me recognize the quality of their work. Tradition is a big part of who I am and I wanted to surprise my husband with a MOTO gift for becoming an MAI instructor with the Corps. I spotted something on the internet but wanted to take it to TEG to see if they could make it come to life and customize it for him specifically! I had to secretly take all of my husband's mcmap belts so that he wouldn't notice. I provided the belts, and his tan tab so that they could be displayed properly on his plaque. I walked in with just a small idea and they absolutely blew it out of the water. At any other place, I would have paid a fortune for something such high quality. They custom cut, engrave and stain everything to how you want it. They have you sign it twice just to make sure. They do not move forward without your confirmation and they are extremely professional with their work and customer service. They were completely honest with me and explained every last detail. They were extremely patient with me (which I am thankful for) and reassured me that they would take very good care of my husband's belts. I asked a lot of questions and probably annoyed them a bit, but they still were very patient and courteous. read more

The Engraver's Gallery - It is about 30in x 14in It came with mounting bracket on the back so my husband can hang it in his office. VERY CLEAN WORK! - Engraving Near Me - Oceanside, California

Just stopped in to pick up an order. No one acknowledged us when we got in there, once one of the employees was finished with their customer, he just sat at the desk doing nothing, still saying nothing to us. Another couple minutes he asked how he could help us and it took about just about 30 sec to get our stuff and leave. Also no one in the building was wearing a mask, customer and employees. Def not the best experience, but the engraving turned out fine so 2 stars for that. read more

Very disappointed with the way my plaque turned out, I expected fine craftsmanship and it seemed like very little effort was put into it as there were several typos and the image was low quality. The staff there are helpful but I wish I had gone somewhere that engraves images on wood. read more

They were helpful and had a quick turn around time! Would highly recommend them! The plaque turned out great. read more

Thank you guys for another amazing job and going above and beyond what we ask for. The professionalism of the workers and the help they offer is incredible. I have been coming to them for plaques for over 5 years and they knock it out of the park every single time.

The Engraver's Gallery - Thank you guys for another amazing job and going above and beyond what we ask for. - Engraving Near Me - Oceanside, California

I have never had anything engraved before in my life. I wanted to do something special for my dad's urn box and I just wanted to engrave his name and date. But they suggested a photo of my father and name and date he passed away. They went out there way and helped me out and made it in 2 days. Which they said takes longer since they were so busy. It came out better then I expected. Couldn't hold my tears in. Was beautiful work and would recommend anyone to go with them. read more

I've been here a few times and they can't be beat. They will get done whatever it is you ask for. Need it by tomorrow? They can do that! With a fee of course, but that's expected. They're very helpful and the work is always good quality! Tip: they have already made wood. Pick one of those up and you just pay for the engraving! You'll save so much money! Thank me later :) read more

One of the workers I spoke to on the phone made me feel like a complete idiot for asking questions about a plaque that was ordered. I've never ordered a plaque from here before so I genuinely had no idea what their process was and how long it would take them to have my plaque finished. The customer service and professionalism here is absolutely horrible. Highly recommend the owner do something about it. The plaques came out decent but due to the fact that the customer service was bad, I will never purchase anything from here in the future. read more

Gunner Bolten relies on them and so do I. Up front about the turn around and costs always reasonable. Military jargon and they give it to you straight. Been doing business here for years. read more

This place is fantastic. I needed a knife handle which was elk bone engraved on very short notice for my son . The men that work in this place are professional kind and talented . They don't over estimate their ability they are up front with what they can do and will draw it out for you. Their prices are very reasonable and the work is good. I'm very satisfied with the quality and professionalism and I plan to return for more . read more

Super happy that I found this place! They made the EGA plaque within a week, they were courteous enough to call me before they made any change that was necessary to help make this plaque look great and the people the were helpful and polite! Definitely my go to from now on!! read more

The Engraver's Gallery - Awesome! - Engraving Near Me - Oceanside, California

They did an amazing job on a memorial braclet of one of my fallen brothers that I now wear everyday on my wrist, I put a rush on it and it was done the very next day so the turn around tome was amazing and the quality was just as good it looks great. Will be going back for future engraving needs. read more

Ordered an ammo lid plaque from this shop for the first time. Received it with discrepancies and being upset left a bad review immediately since I knew the individuals retirement was the next morning leaving no time to get anything corrected. Recieved a call 5 days later from Andy at T.E.G. Initially the conversation did not go well but, towards the end i agreed that I did not give them a chance to rectify things which wasn't right. Andy is now having a new plaque made with the corrections and shipping it to the individual who recently retired at no cost to me. I am extremely happy that the individual will be recieving the ammo lid plaque that I envisioned and I appreciate the followup phone call from Andy to see what could be done to rectify my initial bad experience. I definetly have a change of mind on this shop and will be coming back for any future plaques. read more

They do good work. Blows that they only have one computer. I arrived on a Friday morning just before the shop opened along with two other customers and had to wait 40 minutes to place an order for a fairly simple engraving. Other than that, they're aight. read more

I can't recommend this place do to the fact that every time I've visited this store someone was there for an issue on their order. Including myself where they dropped an item I was getting engraved. I received a call stating that it was cracked when it was opened by Engravers Gallery and that I would have to provide another. Luckily the place I bought my case from where nice enough to let me exchange it for another. Too many complaints, too many issues, before and after in regards to using them as an engraver. read more

The Engraver's Gallery is 100% the best place to get an custom gift for your Military family as well as your personal family. With fast turnarounds, great customer service, and a quality product; you won't go wrong choosing The Engraver's Gallery. I had 7 items that were completed on time, with outstanding results. They took an idea I had, and enhanced it 1000x. Five Stars no doubt! read more

Outstanding work! Regularly used them for 3 years while stationed on Camp Pendleton. Fair prices with quality work.

Horrible customer service! I've been their quite often and the last time I came here will be just that the LAST time. I have gotten daily large jobs done here for a little over 100 bucks. This time I needed 3 metal plates with very little engraving size is 4*4 and all three with the same wording the guy wanted $160. I knew the price was wrong right away and called him out in it he said it was right but would the give me a bit of a discount brought it down to about $80 because he was so unbelievably rude anyways I left and found another shop where they did all three exactly how I wanted for $10.00 !!! read more

Horrible customer service! I swung by to pick up a plaque for a third party and needed to answer a million and one questions before the individual at the front desk even bothered looking. Stubbornness and attitude are not a plus for any business. Recommend not come to this place. read more

Very welcoming and helpful. Most of the workers are veterans. Needed work done quickly and they got it done on the spot (small job) and it was great prices. Was happy to find this shop and even more happy that they assisted me with my needs. read more

Great service.... Miscommunication on name tag length and size... they Fixed the issue same day.. really appreciate they're customer service... highly recommend these guys!!! Definitely come back here. read more

Enough good things can't be said about these guys! I have used them multiple times and I always leave impressed. On my latest order they were super patient with me and worked to help me design a few custom plaques. I even changed my order the next day and they worked with me to recreate the plaque and add another to my order. Top notch service and top notch results without fail! read more

These guys are fantastic! I order from them for personal gifts and awards as well as professionally for quarterdeck boards. They have walls of things to inspire your creativity and the understand military lingo. Great for those of us who procrastinate too (I called three places and only Engraver's Gallery could do a same day turn)! read more

These guys are always willing to go above and beyond to get you what you have in mind. Super quick turn around and lots of plaques in the shop to help you figure out what is best for you. I've had 3 plaques made here and have been happy with the work every time. read more

I had an ammo can lid made as a memorial plaque. One of the owners was kind enough to allow me to use his own personal drawing for the design, he was very helpful in working with me to figure out the design and layout I was going for and it only took a week. They did an absolutely outstanding job and exceeded expectations! I would definitely recommend stopping by to check them out! read more

I have been doing business with Engravers Gallery for over 15 years and somehow they have improved even more. I had a Zippo customized this month with a plethora of intricate design details and it is by far the best craftsmanship I have ever received from them. Their customer service and value are exemplary but more so the pride that has gone into this work is outstanding. read more

The guys at The Engraver's Gallery really came through in a pinch. I was tasked with getting name plates for an event on a short timeline. I went in to the shop and they were able to make the plates for me right then and saved the day. I will definitely go back. read more
