Customer service is non existent, they take for ever to carry out orders and site is not clear when ordering. I ordered a medal bar for my wife’s medals for when she has to wear on her uniform on a few occasions. The order was late and only acknowledged when I contacted and then it took another couple of weeks. I missed the tab that indicated sow on or bar and ordered the wrong one which I accept but I contacted and the lady said she would send the right part but nothing, it’s been going on since November so I’m unable to recommended then. Very poor service. Order 94819

Product excellent, however having purchased previously with no time delays on delivery unfortunately this one took over 6 weeks due to paper for certificate being out of stock.

I have been looking for a good medal display case for ages. The quality and choice of a backboard in the colours of your serving corp/regiment makes these a more suitable way to display your medals. Service from order to delivery was excellent.

Have used Empire for a number of years without any issues but for some reason, on this occasion the service was extremely slow (waited nearly 3 months) and the communication was nonexistent unless I chased. Will be looking into other providers next time.

TO SEE STANDARD OF WORK & HOW MEDALS CAME BACK, LOOK UP REVIEW ON Google maps
This is my experience; After retiring, probably last time my medal mounting would require updating.
1) Disappointingly after 8 weeks away received my order back just before but too late for taking medals on Remembrance weekend. 2) Further disappointment with a purchase missing from the order with no note or explanation 3) and unbelievably two medals were damaged with the part of one attached (*resting) to the front of another - NATO clasp onto Jubilee medal front. 4) Took nearly a month to receive a return facility(*) to send the medals back for repair. 5) Away for a week, the delivery included the missing purchase. The damaged part was repositioned on the ribbon but that medal was now loosely mounted. There was nothing stopping it swinging about, just some loose threads coming from the backing: later explanation it must have happened in the post(*). This occurring to only that one, out of six medals in that delivery.
Found there to be little customer service, taking ownership of a problem resulting from an obtuse(*) position with lack of & poor communication. An example being taking a fortnight replying so it was received just before Christmas, email concluding now closed until the New Year.
In closure was given 50% price reduction as a gesture of goodwill(*), eventually becoming a full refund for the medals mounting.
Moving forward, 4 months after sending medals away now in the position of having to send them to another company for the court mounting to be redone.
Hopefully by Remembrance 2026!
In reply to the response posted to this review;
Clearly customer service nor service quality is anything taken seriously, nor is the value of customers personal items - especially medals.
How can a service be done so badly twice?!
More care should have been applied with the medals a second time.
It has never been explained how an item that WASN’T to have any adhesive ends up glued to the front of another medal - it came back glued to the other medal as a bar not a clasp so clearly it was altered!
& to be told that second time the mounting was checked prior to dispatch is clearly a false statement as the threads holding the relevant medal had to be severed so a new clasp was positioned onto that ribbon. Newly applied threads do not become undone from being in the post - again only this medal that required further work was affected & the only one hanging loose out of six.
Why was the court mounting NOT just done fully again?!
The fact that the whole experience took 4 months & not the stated 6 weeks is a breach of contract which there has never been any compensation apart from the reluctant refund for the court mounting.
From reading other reviews, the negatives ones all complain about similar issues; lack of communication, taking to long & quality of the work/service.
In the reply saying fell short of the required - there clearly was no standard!
Worcester Medals have since done a completely new satisfactory full court mounting. During which they communicated regularly including phone calls.

I found some medals in an old purse belonging to my late wife. I established that they belonged to her late uncle. They were dirty and had no ribbons attached. I sent them off to Empire Meals and received them back on Christmas Eve. They had been cleaned, had new ribbons attached and they were framed so that they could be put on display. Excellent work by empire Medals
