Guarantee

Awards Promo Guru commits its effort towards creating custom artwork that the recipient will love. Pieces will not be etched until the artwork has been approved by you, so that we can guarantee that pieces turn out exactly as you see them. We take immense pride to provide you the finest award. This is why we go through great lengths to ensure that we only etch what you want. If you received your awards etched differently than your approved artwork, and it was a mistake on behalf of APG, we will take care of it! We will cover all the costs required to replace your awards, free of charge. Each piece is inspected for clarity, chips, bubbles, scratches and other imperfections by our highly trained quality control team. It is then packaged securely in a padded, deluxe red gift box. It is shipped with plenty of packing peanuts to protect every piece that arrives to you or your honoree in perfect condition. In the rare event that our carrier damages your order, we will take care of it! APG takes pride in our work and guarantees our utmost effort to ensure that your beautifully designed piece arrives on time, in perfect condition, just the way you ordered it.

Terms & Conditions

Once the artwork is approved by you, you assume liability and agree not to hold APG responsible for changes not requested prior to final approval. By placing an order with APG, you agree to all terms and conditions.
