Public Health Service Ribbons

A new piece of drape for your medal, a stiff plastic insert so the medal lays flat, the mounting bar, and a plastic case.

When selecting a medal you are asked to select mounting/no mounting before adding it to your cart.  If you select “mounting”, then the medals will be mounted on a bar for uniform wear.  If you select “no mounting”, then the medals will be shipped separately in their individual packages.

From the time we get the order, your medals are ready to be shipped usually in 1-2 days.   Times vary due to the number of orders during the Marine Corps Ball season but still is within 3-4 days.

No, our staff know the order of precedence for every branch and also know the order if you have medals from multiple branches.

No, when you place your order you select a gender for the person wearing the medals and a branch of service.  From that information, we know how many medals go in each row and the proper overlap.

We use a laser-cut plastic insert.  Your medals will not bend or warp when wet or subjected to high humidity like the paper/cardboard backings other companies use.

 We ship primarily through the USPS using priority mail.  You can choose UPS shipping if that works better for you.

We ship anywhere in the world to any address you provide.  We will contact you if we need more address info.

No.  Send in your current set and include any new medals/devices you have.  But if you don’t have the medal or new device we can provide that.  We stock every medal and device for every branch.

Yes, the majority of the time we can open a set of medals, add to it, and close them back up.  There are a few companies that mount medals in a way that makes it impossible to open them without ruining the ribbon.  In those few cases, we might have to remount those medals.  But we can always reuse the medallions and just replace the ribbon.

Sometimes.  It depends on the company that made them originally.  Some ribbons will not come apart without using tools that ruin the ribbon.  Some are easily removed and can be remounted.  We take a look and let you know what we can do before we do any work so the decision is yours to make.

Yes, if there is a mistake with the order just contact us and we will issue a return label.  If you just don’t want the items any longer you can return them for a refund minus the shipping and credit card fee.

 Send them to the address at the bottom of the home page.  Include your name and phone number inside.  We will call you when they arrive and go over everything you need to be done.  We can take your credit card over the phone at the same time.

Yes, when you checkout make sure to opt to pay with cash.  That way your order doesn’t get shipped and you will be notified when it is ready.

No, if you order a ribbon bar at the same time you order ribbons then the ribbons will be put together for you.
