@Roshikadeo I go to Jr White now for engravings so much faster took 20 minutes to get a plaque fixed in a frame and engraved

Want to get engraving, badges, personalized gifts etc? DO NOT go to L B Masters. Takes orders but doesnt deliver in timely manner. Unexplained, consistent & several delays. Bad customer service - dont answer phone or respond to FB/email. Poor quality products eg stamps. #TeamFiji
