A & E Trophy & Engraving

This review is for the red haired woman driving the company blue pick up truck. This woman almost hit me in a parking lot and had the audacity to call me an Idiot.
I felt embarrassed for her and the company she was representing. I really hope she wasn’t the owner!
The funny thing is I was looking for an engraving company for trophies and saw this company on Unilocal.Decided to go to their shop, but after this run in, I’m taking my business elsewhere.
Use common sense, if you’re driving a branded vehicle don’t be rude and always put your best foot forward. That’s just good business.

it’s been 2 years since I wrote my review. I have to say that A & E is still just as great as always. I had over 50 awards this past year and not ONE was done wrong. I thought I should clarify that on awards where we don’t have the alphabet soup, if she sees something that might be a typo, she calls me. She is very committed to getting your awards just right.

I am a recipient of the dog club plaques and A&E does a top notch job. The plaques are beautiful, I have quite a few of them now and I just love them. They are done quickly, correctly and within the time frame needed and all for a reasonable price. It really does not get better than that.
I would recommend A&E Trophy to anyone looking to purchase trophies or plaques for their club awards.

I was in a terrible bind and A&E came to the rescue. I just had a plaque made (by an unnamed company) to honor my uncle’s 75^th birthday and the result was horrendous at best. I was unsuccessful in getting my money back and worst, I needed to send the plaque across the country asap. So after seeing the glowing reviews of A&E on Unilocal,I made the short trek over to Lomita and placed an emergency order. To my surprise the owner (bless her, because she was sick at the time) took her time to explain to me all of the various options and promised to make any changes if I did not approve of the final product. Well, not only did A&E get the plaque back to me in record time, but to my delight I did not have to take her up on the offer, as the plaque came out fantastic and I was able to mail it in time for my uncle’s birthday. Simply stated, in a business environment where customer service and quality are in decline, A&E stands for what a company should be.

This may have been my first time in a trophy shop, I have to say it was pretty much what I expected. It’s a nice little shop that has tons of different trophies and plaques. The sales lady was really easygoing, she helped me pick out a trophy for my fantasy football league. It only took a couple days and I’m really happy with the results. The only problem is I may have to give the trophy to someone else in a couple weeks…

I was very hesitant about coming here for my plaques because… well, it was a hole in the wall shop and I had no experience in doing anything like ordering plaques, but since I found their sticker on the back of a plaque that I received, I figured… let’s give it a shot.
First off, Sandra is a sweetheart. She follows up with you and really makes sure you get what you want. She’ll also work with you on helping you budget. For my order, I had four plaques made, each with different writing on it. They turned out great and looked really nice during presentations.
I suggest having a print up of what you want your plaques to say and EXACTLY how you want it to look before entering the store. It not only helps her be more efficient, but there’s less liability on you if things don’t come out properly.
I really wanted to give her 5 five stars, but one of the plaques not only had a typo, but was placed upside down so that it could not be hung anywhere. :[ Therefore, I suggest not only double checking the print out you give her, but also checking each one before leaving the store so you know you have everything exactly right. She was really sweet about fixing it and got it done within a 24 hour time frame, but it was definitely lame sauce having to take it back from the person it was given to in order to get it fixed.
Overall, great place, reasonable prices and I’d definitely go back again for any future plaque or trophy needs. :]

They do good work at reasonable prices!
I’d definitely go back for all trophy, plaque, etc needs based on the work they’ve done for our paddling team.
No-​nonsense service combined w/​their best efforts to ensure everything comes out beautiful and on-​time. They work w/​your budget & can be negotiable.
