Anyone dealt with ID Plates in the past? I just made my first order with them and was too impressed. Two out of the 5 plaques I ordered were scratched, I was missing 1 out of 14 sheets of metal, and the Alum. Oxide I ordered had leaked in its bag. I like their prices, but not sure if this is an indication of their service...I have to wait until Monday to talk to someone to see how they fix the problems.

Mike,

I think you meant to say you "weren't" too impressed with ID Plates.

I'm a fan of the company, although I've found their follow-through, on returning phone calls, comes up short.

Otherwise, my experience has been good.

Call customer service and tell them of your problem. I know they are good people and will listen to the customers concerns.
I deal with ID Plates almost every day. It might help if you tell them Frank Ricci (Ritchie) from Chewbarka's Tags told you to call. ;-)

They are 15 minutes from us and this company has bought most of our metal and some other things from them for decades. I am sure they will try and make it right for you. Doug has offered me a tour since they built their new place a few years ago but I have never made it over there. I live in Mesquite and pass within a few blocks every day.

My main complaint is that they are one of the shrinking number of suppliers that do not ship the same day even if the order is placed early in the day.
They have also raised their minimum order to $75.

I can get things by regular ups faster from Oklahoma City or Houston.

In an emergency we can twist their arm and get it pulled for same day pickup.

The only plaques we get there are some state shapes and I can't remember having a problem with them.

I've had great responses from ID Plates too. GREAT customer service and very willing to help explain the differences in some of their products.

My orders have arrived in great condition and in a timely fashion.

Try talking to them and explain there was a problem with the order.

Too bad they raised their minimum order price.

Frank,
Thanks for your business too. Your the only one I order tags from.
