Len O.Chula Vista, CA03Aug 11, 2023Substandard customer service especially if you have a concern or issue. If you want high quality products, don't come here. Its no longer named Blackie's but Awards Unlimited.

I ordered a clear acrylic award for a retiring employee and asked if they would be able to affix a company emblem coin on the face of the award. I was told, "no problem." When I went to pick up the award, there was visible dried glue that had dripped down from under the coin and there were glue fingerprint smudges all over the acrylic exterior. The award looked like something a kid would have made in Kindergarten art class. When I complained, I was given a 10% discount. I took the $136 hunk of junk home and threw it in the trash. I was much too embarrassed to give that to my employee. If you want a professional looking award or trophy, DO NOT shop here. Just ask your kids to make one. They would probably do a better job anyway.

" Blackie's Has Moved Across The Street "
Blackie's Trophies & Awards in Chula Vista has moves across the street. Their new address is now 268 1/2 Third Ave Chula Vista, CA 91910. Straight across the street from their old address. The new venue has beautiful clean wood floors, and has many very nice Trophies and Awards on display. I have received Trophies & Awards from Blackie's for almost 30 years, and Sabrina & Bree who own and run the shop are two of the nicest and hardest working people I have ever met. They will do anything it takes to please you as a customer. If you ever need Trophies or Awards, don't hesitate to stop by their new Chula Vista Shop location and check it out. You will not be disappointed !Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Feb 2, 2017Previous review" Blackie's Legacy Lives On & He Would Be Proud ! "
When I picked up the Star-News Newspaper in Chula Vista, California on Friday February 29th, 2008 and read the historical article " Blackie Leaves a Legacy ", I started to Cry. The well done article laid out a story about the great family owned business owner William James Black,
" Blackie", from Blackie's Trophies and Awards in Chula Vista, who was definitely, one of a kind. I have been a Blackies customer since 1989 and have always enjoyed working with this outstanding local family business. Since Blackie's passing, his family mainly Sabrina (Bree), and Kim, took over the business since they were already working and learning under " Blackie " for years. Since then they have grown from a small community based business, into one that services customers all over the country. The local community is very important to Blackies, and they are great supporters of schools, local groups, teams, churches, charities and businesses. Blackies prices, quality, and customer service has always been at an A+ rating. Blackie's Trophies and Awards specializes in Corporate and Sports Plaques, Trophies, Acrylic Awards, Medals, Ribbons, Signage, and Law Enforcement and Military Awards. If anyone you know needs awards, engraving, or trophies of any kind, there is no other place in the entire San Diego County area that comes close to Blackie's Trophies and Awards in Chula VIsta. Bree and Kim,
" Blackie " would be so proud of you ! Keep up the good work ! - Jason T.El Cajon, CA40221May 11, 2022
Had my order for a month. Had to call to get an update. Had done nothing. Told me to comeback the following week. Went in the following week, nothing had been done. Says they had a question but never bothered to call. Then made no effort to correct the situation.
I highly recommend finding another vendor.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christina V.Chula Vista, CA0339Dec 4, 2022
Bummed to see the most recent reviews as Blackies is under new ownership. Unfortunately a team parent recently ordered our trophies and they're all incorrect as well as a few missing. It's so easy to order online. We appreciate our small businesses on third Avenue and wanted to support the local business. Lesson learned as we had no trophies for our banquet.

We are a special order business. That being said we order the amount of items to fulfill our orders to the customers requested amount. If our suppliers do not have the amount in stock we contact the customer immediately to discuss options or cancel the order. as for engraving before we engrave we make up artwork and send it out for approval via email. Once approved we engrave, if there are mistakes after approval then that falls to the customer. If a mistake is made on our part then we make a new plate or re-engrave and no additional cost to the customer.

I'm giving it a one star because there is no option of half a star. The previous owners were amazing. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for these new owners. They are not only rude, having awful customer service, They also turn in their trophies dirty and dusty and don't even give you something to carry them. And when I asked for a bag they told me that they wouldn't put it in a bag so then I suggested if they had a box they had the audacity to say no. Very unhelpful and rude. Never going to give them my business ever again!!!

When you originally came in looking for trophies, we took our time helping you pick something out. We spent a long time showing you the NEW items we could order from the 3 different vendors we use. They would have come individually boxed if you had ordered the new items. You were unwilling to pay the price for NEW items. Instead, what you had picked were several old stock items we were selling for half off because they were old stock left from the previous owners. They were out of the boxes and yes, a little dusty because that is how we received them. It was explained why the items you picked were half off. We were very patient and respectful. Each time you had called we conducted ourselves as any normal business would. There was a longer period to finish the order because we had to wait for the school district to assign a P.O Number since you were not paying out of pocket yourself or they would have been done in half the time. When you came to pick them up you had called and were very dismissive on the phone then came in shortly afterward. When you received the items, you had asked for a bag, and I told you no that wouldn’t be a good idea to put those style of items loose in a bag because they are breakable. I offered to find a box to put the “remainder” of the items in because most were in a box to carry and make transport easier. You had an attitude the entire time and decided to belittle me and go on a rant. While you were complaining I tried offering multiple times to find a box for you just to get ignored. The way you came in and conducted yourself left no room to make you happy.
Mister W.Chula Vista, CA6131Dec 19, 2019Last minute they were able to apply this figure to a marble base and engrave a custom plate for it. My friend who is a Superman fanatic LOVED it!!! Thank you Blackie's Trophy for pulling through for me at the last minute and charged me a very fair price.
