Once production has begun or a proof has been approved, we are unable to make changes to your order.  Please double check spelling and quantities before placing your order and carefully review any and all proofs.  If you find that you need additional awards, please let us know and we will make every effort to accommodate you.  If you need fewer awards, we can adjust your order subject to a restocking fee.
