5 out of 5 starsThe plaque actually came earlier than expected. Looks great has all information correct and quality great for being mounted for displaying outside. Does not come w screws.

Thank you for the wonderful review. We have in the item description and FAQs - we do not send hardware. The reason is we do not know what the marker will be mounted to, i.e., sheet rock, wood, chain link fence, concrete, boulder, paver, etc. Additionally - we don't know if it will be indoors or outdoors. Each could potentially use a different type hardware. We suggest taking your Scout to a home improvement or hardware store and have them talk with the experts on mounting options. Our expertise is in engraving and we wouldn't want to suggest something that wouldn't be the best for the particular project. Please everyone, read the item description and the FAQs. We try our best to be extremely transparent about our products and services because we don't want anyone being surprised.

5 out of 5 starsI love the item for a gift for my grandson. The item arrived very fast. However, I thought the postage cost was high for this very light weight item shipped in a small padded mailing envelope.

Thank you for the wonderful review. You are correct. Our shipping fee is a little higher. But, as we state in our FAQs on the main page of the site, we have a handling fee included as in Etsy there is no other place to put it. The USPS continues to go up on pricing - twice last year, once this year and on the 12th of July 2026 it changed again. We are a very small business and get no real break on postage like a large businesses do. The handling fee goes towards packing materials, i.e., peanuts, paper, envelopes, boxes, bags, printer toner, labels, etc. Thanks again for the wonderful review and we hope your Eagle Scout really enjoys the gift. It is well deserved.

5 out of 5 starsThank you so much. Exactly what we needed to finish my son's Eagle Project. When I ordered it, we had planned to add the plaque after the fact, but it arrived ahead of the expected date, so we added it and included it in the final pictures. I have already shared with a few mom's wanting to add to their son's completed projects.

5 out of 5 starsSent proof before it was made
William responded on Jul 2, 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review! We want to make sure that we help honor your Scout and project exactly as they want it. so we require you to review and approve the proof prior to engraving. It is a company policy.

5 out of 5 starsAs described and overall happy with the plate. The only recommendation I have is that the seller pack in a way that is a little more secure as the plate I ordered was slightly bent upon delivery.
William responded on Jul 13, 2026
Thank you for the wonderful review. We are sorry for the transit issues. Approximately 1 in every 500 will receive damage in transit. It's pretty normal. No matter how we pack it - cardboard mailers, rigid inserts, box, large box, box in a box... it will still happen. We have had orders that were completely crushed in a large mailing box. We are sorry this happened.. but we are always willing to send a replacement for damage in shipping! Please see our FAQs for specifics on photos and requirements for the replacement. We can control everything until the order leaves our hands. We wish we could control that also... but we have limits.

Frequently asked questions
What is Standard Production versus Rush Production?
STANDARD PRODUCTION: 2-3 weeks (depending on workload) Ships advantage or Priority 1-3 days. Production time starts after we receive the approved proof. Orders are processed by date of receipt, first in, first out. Only rush production can move ahead.
RUSH PRODUCTION: 7 or less business days (depending on workload) Ships USPS Priority 1-3 days. Production time starts after we receive the approved proof. Rush moves ahead of standard orders. Rush has an extra fee and can added from the shipping section on checkout. We charge a $25 fee to move your order ahead of standard orders. PLEASE IGNORE THE DATES for Rush Orders. Since we had to add it in the shipping section (Etsy has no other place) they do not calculate correctly.
I missed the sale - can I get the sale price now? You quoted a discounted price and the item is already on sale. Do I get the total of both discounts?
We only offer the sales price during the sale. We do not refund the price if you missed a sale. But what we can do is give a customer store coupon for the difference between the standard and sales price for a future purchase. The coupon cannot be used during a sale - or applied to any item on sale. If an item is on sale and we have quoted you a discounted price - only the greater of the 2 price discounts will be applied.
The description and images say I'll RECEIVE A PROOF- where is it?
We send PROOFS to the email address in your Etsy account. ENSURE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS in Etsy is a good email.
If the product description says you'll receive a proof and you have not received it within 2 or 3 days of your order, make sure you check your junk or spam folder. It is probably there. If not - please contact us and let us know. We will continue to send additional emails so that you may review the proof. If requested changes are made to a layout - a new proof will be sent to your email for review and approval. Each change will be accompanied by a new proof - regardless of how minor the change. For example - we will send you a new proof if you ask us to add a period to a sentence.
What happens if I decide not to review my proof and not answer the email?
We will attempt to contact you with a proof. Proofs are beneficial to both you and us. We are human and can occasionally make mistakes (as do our clients). Proofs are SNAPSHOTS OF EXACTLY WHAT WILL BE ENGRAVED.
If you fail to approve a layout/proof and receive a product with an error (regardless of the source of the error), we will not refund the cost. A replacement can be created at the same cost as the original. Damaged or defective products will be reviewed and if determined they need to be replaced - they will be replaced at no cost to the client.
I have a question about my order - how do I ask questions?
If you have a question - you can contact us via Etsy conversation or send us an email at: fireflycustom@gmail.com. NOTE: Please do not ask us to call you. There is a lot of noise in the shop and we do not make outbound calls.
What if my order is delayed even though I've ordered Rush Production?
We guarantee rush production orders will be complete and shipped within the allotted time or we will contact you with details. Once into shipping - it is up to the postal courier to get it to you from there. We unfortunately have no control over the courier. If your product is delayed due to the carrier - there is nothing we can do other than file a "lost package" report. USPS only guarantees Express Overnight or Express 2 Day shipping (although not to all states), which we do not offer because of the high cost.
Can you put together a custom design for us?
We can but only if time allows. You may ask and we may so we cannot at this time. Please note we do charge a design fee. And if it is a product for Scouts - we will have to get it licensed for you. We can change the information we have listed in the personalization field - but we cannot put a new design together for you unless we get it licensed by Scouting America. For that we charge because of the time constraints of putting together a new product and filling out the application to submit the design for licensing.
Your shipping seems high - why is that?
We also have a handling fee built into our shipping. It isn't much - as shipping is very expensive. Truth is - we sometimes lose money on shipping. For example, it costs between $18.00 and $30.00 to ship an 8 x 10 frame to CA, WA, or OR. If ordering from a state that has high shipping rates - you may be asked to pay an additional fee on top of what you have already ordered.
Our handling fee goes towards peanuts, packing paper, labels, toner, bags, packages/boxes, etc., so that we can ensure your items are properly packed to avoid damage in shipping. We ensure proper packing to ensure your product arrives with no damage. Proper packing is expensive. Even just shipping USPS these days is extremely expensive.
I received my order and there is a problem what should I do?
It is our mission to ensure our clients receive 100% guaranteed quality products. If you have a problem with an order you have received - please contact us and allow us the opportunity to resolve the issue.
