I stopped in for a price to engrave my niece's phone number on the back of a dog tag. I explained she's moving out at the beginning of year to go to college and she's taking her dog. They were feeling in the Christmas Spirit and did it for me on the spot, free! Merry Christmas Tempe Trophy!

Absolutely fabulous. Placed a rush order on Wednesday, was ready for pick up the following day. Slight miscommunication and an item was missed - they were gracious enough to give me the larger item at no extra cost. So worth the money and time spent - I feel seen and taken care of as a customer. Thank you Tempe Trophy!!

Disclaimer: I am not writing this review as a paying customer. I had a ton of my and my family's trophies that were collecting dust and really wanted to donate them to a place that would recycle them. I reached out to every trophy shop in the valley and Tempe Trophy was the only one to respond to my inquiry (and quickly!). They not only accepted them but were so sweet and helpful when I dropped them off. Five stars!

I just had a simple box cutter that I wanted to give as an acknowledgment of appreciation. I didn't think there was much that could be done other than putting a name on it. Connie helped create a great design with a total WOW!! factor. It's now going to be a really heartfelt gift. Thank you!
