A minimum of 12 weeks from artwork sign off is required on all bespoke medal orders to be transported by SEA shipment. Within this time-frame is a 3 week lead-time for sea shipments to arrive and clear through customs.  J.C.Trophies cannot be held responsible for delays to sea shipments due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control that occur with shipping schedules, resulting in bespoke medal orders arriving late.  In the unlikely event that a delay does occur, J.C.Trophies will offer the customer a stock item medal as a best alternative and the custom medal will be held in stock for future orders/events.  

We can create bespoke medal artwork is created from a sketch or customer's original artwork; we allow up to 5 artwork amends within our standard service, after which artwork amends are chargeable at a cost of £25.00 per proof.  We therefore, kindly request our customers provide clear & specific instructions when briefing in designs.

Bespoke Etched Championship Belts

A minimum of 6 weeks from artwork sign off is required on all bespoke championship belt orders, subject to production workloads.  Etched belts are handmade and therefore the final belt plates may deviate slightly in dimensions and thickness of plates, this is an unavoidable part of the etching process where by the metal is etched away using an acid solution.   J.C.Trophies cannot be held responsible for marginal differences due to the handmade nature of these belts and in our opinion this does not detract from their beauty.
