Due to the large volume of medals, we have been receiving, our mounters have chosen to cap the number of medals they accept per month. Orders are generally back 2 months after the month they were dropped off. For example, medals from June will be August, July will be September, etc. Our cut-off date for medals for Remembrance Day is 09 October. Medals dropped off before that will be back in time, medals dropped off after will not be. If you need your medals for a specific date, please let us know and we will try to accommodate that, or message you if we cannot.
