Great going away giftGreat gift, ordered it and received it just a couple of days later. Worth the price
|
As expectedQuality was pretty good. Order shipped very quickly. Would recomend.
|
Confirmation giftHighly polished box, so lightweight it could be confused for plastic. Personal message was very clear, but the surface so smoothe it was more printed, than etched. This item commemorated an important life event and served the purpose for which it was intended. I gave a 4 star rating because I expected something a little nicer for the price.

DecentFirst compass arrived broken, needle did not show true north and varnish inside was not properly applied. I called customer service and they sent me a new one right away and told me to toss the old one. The new one worked! Quality of compass is ok, some minor imperfections which most people wouldn’t see but I’m anal. I wouldn’t pay full price for this, I got it on sale. My husband did like it and the quote I wrote inside. Probably wouldn’t buy again. Great customer service.
|
SolutionsSo the first compass had no magnetic pull anywhere meaning it didn't work. Customer service handled the issue quickly and in a kind manner. The replacement compass is amazing.

Engraved CompassLove my engraved compass. The only downside is that it would only allow five lines
|
GoodThis was a gift and the person really liked it.

Birthday present for a family friendBy Shopper  (Centerville, OH) - July 24, 2018 Nice gift but when I opened the compass, a few scraped shows around the wood casing of the compass
|
Personalized CompassThe compass itself is great but the inscription is really light so hard to notice unless you knew it was there

Mahogany Compass ColorBy Shopper  (La Quinta, CA) - July 18, 2023 Overall I am pleased with the product and the speed with which it was received. However, the Mahogany Compass looks more like black than the brown pictured on the website. I contacted the company for replacement as I thought I was shipped an incorrect product but was told (based on the picture I sent in) that the item was correct. If you're wanting an item that truly looks Mahogany as in the picture on the website, this is not the the item for you.

Engraved compassI thought the entire unit would be sturdier: sturdier hinges, sturdier outer material. The magnetic needle is very wobbly for quite some time ~it is not an instant read.
|
Engraved plate was crooked ??I got this as a Christmas gift and thought it would be nice to have it personalized and was not happy went I opened it to find the personalized plate totally crooked
|
Very Pretty, But ...Very pretty, but doesn't work as compass! Won't point north!
|
Not quite what I expected It was pretty, but the inscription was very small and the product was very lightweight.
|
Pretty but small for the priceWhile it seems like a good quality, it’s very small for the price. Not sure that I would order one again.
|
Beautiful but Cheap Materials Though it came out beautifully. The material is super cheap. It honestly feels like it wants to fall apart. The top feels super loose. And the actual compass is super unsteady!! Like they used the thinnest pressed aluminum. A tad more disappointing than I hoped for!!
|
Poor quality, cheap for the priceBy Shopper  (Placentia, CA) - November 19, 2021 Very disappointed, the compass was poorly made, the hinges and arrow wiggled it was very light, it felt cheap
|
Need color options for engraving!The compass itself was nice although the lid wasn’t as tight as it should have been, the engraving was very light and there should be color and spacing options. Shipping time was excellent!
|
CompassBy Shopper  (Pavilion, NY) - January 14, 2021 I love the compass but the engraving was Not centered and the surrounding container was scratched. If not for those factors I would have given it 5 stars.
|
Nice EnoughThe compass is nice enough. The coloring is not what it appears and is more black than cherry in color. The part with the engraving was placed on a little crooked but it will work.
|
Average quality For the price paid, it seemed poor quality to me. We purchased these for our Fathers for Christmas, and they are nice but pretty pricey for what you get. It's like a $5-$10 value in my estimation, and I paid almost $50....a little bummed!
|
Nice, but kind of disappointed This compass is a great gift for any outdoorsy man, but I was expecting the outside to be wooden, not plastic! That makes it feel a bit cheap, but the engraving turned out great and the whole inside looks awesome!
|
A bit disappointedI did not receive the product that I ordered. The description of the color was suppose to be a "rich deep mahogany but what I received was definitely black plastic. Other than the color, the piece was nice and the inscription was perfect.
|
Nice, but defects.This is a nice piece for a desk. The engraved message was applied crooked to the wood top. Also, the engraving was scratched in the middle. The compass needle was off the peg. But that was easy to reattach. Overall, I would give this five stars if not for the defects. This was for a law school graduate so I didn't have time to return it. When closed, it is very nice. I ordered a second one for my son and it had no defects.
|
Not as great as I thought it would be! :-(By Shopper  (Warren, MI) - May 14, 2019 Got this for my fiancé for his additional schooling accomplishments. The compass did not work and is very cheaply made - by looks and by feel. It was very disappointing. It was so close to the graduation day that I couldn't get another gift in time...
|
Navigator Compass I was disappointed by the compass- looks like plastic instead of wood. Price was not cheap!
|
Good looking, Not functionalThe product arrived timley and intact, the inscription was correct and looked great. However, the needle did. It function as it should to be a working compass.
|
Not what I expectedThe description says wood case with gloss finish. The picture looks like gloss finished mahogany. The one I got looks like a black plastic case. It looks a lot cheaper than the one in the ad. If I had time before I give it as a gift I would return it and order something else. I'm stuck with a cheaper looking gift than I want to give.
|
Cute but not as expected Compass was larger than I expected. It is lite weight and kind of cheap, needle is loose. Comes in a nice box and the engraved gold plate is very well made.
|
Poor QualityI was very disappointed in the quality based on the price. I would not recommend.
|
CompassBy Shopper  (Medway, OH) - April 28, 2023 I was a little disappointed this time. There were white scratches all on the left side of it when you open it. There's no way this wasn't seen when the inscription was put in it. Too late to get a new one.
|
Backwards CompassThe engraving is great, however, when the compass was assembled it is backwards in terms of direction.
|
Buyer BewareThe item arrived in perfect condition, but the overall quality is not what I expected; the "mahogany" looks and feels like plastic. The item is lightweight and the engraved plate is cheap-looking. I'm embarrassed to present this as a gift, but the company will not accept a return, even though the engraving was a stock, rather than personalized message. Not worth the price. Buyer beware.
|
Wrong ColorThe product i received was nice. Other than the fact that I ordered it in mahogany and received it in black, I am impressed with the product.
|
Very disappointed By Shopper  (Canada) - December 11, 2020 I thought this would be an attractive personal gift. The inscription is crooked and makes the item look very cheap. I paid over $100.00 Canadian and I don't think I will ever order anything like this on line again.
|
Not what I was hoping for...The product says “quality constructed in wood with a dark mahogany finish” but mine has arrived and it is black plastic. I still like the look but the main sell for me was the clean looking wood so I am quite disappointed in paying for plastic. I have attached a photo of it so you can see for yourself. I assure you, in person it does not look like their picture and just looks and feels like waxed plastic.
|
Engraved Navigator Compass NeedleI bought this item for a co-worker who is retiring. I like the overall look of the item. However, the compass needle part of it is leaning to the side and I'm not sure if it is working properly. I call with my concerns that it was broken and was told to take a photo and they would look at it a send me another. But none of the photos I took really show what my concern with the leaning needle. So I guess I am stuck with item as is. Not sure I will used this company again.
|
QualityBy Shopper  (Silver Creek, NY) - February 15, 2019 Beautiful looking but once you pick it up it doesn't feel like real wood and feels very cheap. more worried he wont like it just based on quality
|
Old or aging inventoryBy Shopper  (Louisville, KY) - February 9, 2023 I usually am extremely satisfied with Personalization Mall, however, this order wasn't up to standard. One of the compass' engraved plate was placed at an angle so the engraving crooked above the compass. The other compass' hinges appeared green with mold or mildew as if the stock is stored in a damp place. I was exited about receiving my order a day earlier than expected but was truly disappointed by the compass products.
|
Disappointed Don’t bother ordering this unless you want to be embarrassed. The quality is poor, cheap and shoddy. The actual compass was not even attached or fastened to the case. Additionally when ordering I wasn’t guaranteed Christmas delivery so another added expense for expedited delivery. Tho I see today that’s not the case. The product bears no resemblance to the picture. I don’t think it could pass as a paperweight as it is that light. Shame on me and buyer beware!
