Decent Service
The online service was complicated and the user interface was cluttered. The time it takes to get a visual proof of the object is unsatisfactory (around 48 hours in my case), and the payment process is unclear. It asks you to put in your card information before the visual proof is delivered, and doesn't specify at what step in the process your card will be charged. Shipping can be expected a total of 5 days after what is shown on the shipping-time chart, which doesn't include the two business days of manufacturing. End-Products are smaller than they seem online but they are high quality, come in a nice package (great for gifting) and have no imperfections. TL:DR Shipping and website are unsatisfactory, but end-product is high quality.

Hello, Thanks for the input. We greatly appreciate your time in leaving us a review. Please allow us to reiterate our order process. As stated on our website, artwork proofs are sent within 24 business hours after order submission. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding of some sort because we are showing that an artwork proof was sent within 15 minutes after the order was placed. When you requested to have changes made to the initial artwork proof, we sent a revised proof within 30 minutes to which you replied with your proof approval shortly after. As far as the payment, we do indicate the payment processing on each product detail page - under the "payment" tab. On most online shopping websites, we find that the payment is usually completed once you check out the order with your credit card information, whereas we initially request to authorize the payment fund and only complete/ capture payment when we send out the proof. As for production time, as stated on our website, once approved, it takes 48 hours to complete the engraving process. Additionally, as shipping transit time is based on your zip code per UPS/FedEx shipping transit time, the selected Standard method takes 4-5 business days to arrive, to which, your order arrived within this time frame. We always send an email with the Estimated Arrival Date once we receive the proof approval. Based on your tracking details with FedEx, your order arrived earlier than the expected date indicated in this said 'In-Production' email. We hope this clarifies the standard process for us at CrystalPlus. Should you need to check on our processing time for your new order, please don't hesitate to contact us. - CrystalPlus Management Team
