Fine exterior; Cheap interior

The compass holder is very attractive and the personal engraving was done quickly (incorrectly the first time, but was remedied quickly). Unfortunately, the compass itself is SO CHEAP looking and sounding (you hear it shaking around). Literally looks like something you would pick up at the dollar store. I am so embarrassed by the lack of quality, I am not giving it for a graduation gift as intended. The compass is worth about $5.00. I would happily have paid more for a quality product.
Pros
- The outside is very attractive.
Cons
- The actual compass is such cheap quality it does not match the outside.

By James

I thought although the stainless looked nice on the outside the compass itself was cheap and plastic inside. Did not feel it was worth the money. Also I had an inscription that was suppose to be on the back and the only engraving was on the front. Was told it was possible to engrave both sides.
Awesome

Not the quality I expected for the money. Disappointed with engraving... monogram style engraving of initials was requested but that was not how it was engraved.
Also, the remaining portion of the engraving is too small to be read.
Website should provide preview and photos of both front and back.
On a positive note, production and delivery was faster than expected.
Great fast delivery

The compass I received was beautiful, it was a gift for my husband. I am not giving the quality of the item 3 stars, but the engraving. It was almost impossible to read and did not come out at all like I expected it to look like.
Pros
- Compass was nice quality
Cons
- I would not get it engraved

I ordered four compasses for my elderly parents to give to their grandchildren for Christmas. I asked in the "comments" section if I could have initials on the front and a saying on the back, and they accommodated that request beautifully. My parents are thrilled and can't wait to give these special momentos to their grand children. They'll be treasured for years to come.

I ordered this for my son's high school graduation and its a very nice sturdy compass. I didnt engrave the front but did the back and it looks nicer. I wish I had put something on the front , maybe his initials or the saying I put on the back"for all the places you'll go" goes nicely with Dr Seuss book I had all his relatives write in with college/ life advices.
Pros
- Good quality
- Looks sharp and feels sturdy
- Arrived quickly
Cons
- I should've engraved the front too but not their fault. I was rushing.
- Really nothing

LESSER QUALITY THAN EXPECTED
By Dan
from NC
on December 29, 2016
Verified Buyer
I ordered this as a special gift for my son's military graduation. The ordering process and shipping was seamless and quick, and engraving was beautiful. However, the compass was not the quality I had hoped for. It must have been more plastic than stainless steel as another reviewer mentioned, due to being much lighter weight than expected. The feature that really cheapened the look though was the black decoration on the inner lid which was nothing more than a sticker with visible air bubbles under it! Unacceptable and regrettably disappointing.
Pros
- Shiny and functional.
Cons
- Poor quality, not worth the price.

Purchased this compass for my husband for Christmas. He is a retired Naval Flight Officer, so precision is very important to him. We enjoy hiking immensely, so this compass will be part of our "go-gear."
I was very pleased with the ease of ordering, communication after sale, delivery time and the quality of the engraving requested. Will absolutely come back to Executive Gifts again.

The compass is just as described. It is a nice gift for our son who recently graduated from college. We are however, disappointed in the engraving. It looks like the engraver skipped so one of the monogrammed letters is not as clear as it should be. We feel the company should have checked and corrected this before sending the compass out.
Pros
- Nice product. Fast shipping
Cons
- Engraving could be better

The compass itself is perfect. Engraving is exactly like I wanted, the item is good quality and looks exactly like I hoped it would- thrilled with the product and would order again just based on that. However, the real reason I would rate this experience 10 stars is because of the incredible level of service I received from Pete and the Executive Gift shoppe team. Their customer service level is absolutely unparalleled. I have never experienced purchasing items from such an accommodating and pleasant group of individuals. (I worked with them a little over the phone with shipping questions, and then again fixing the order because of MY mistake made in the ordering process) I honestly can't say enough good things about this shop and the group of people working there. Keep up the amazing work!! You have gained a repeat customer, because I will certainly go out of my way to shop with you in the future!
