While we always ask for a minimum 30 days notice, some variables will determine the total time from initial entry to receiving your award.
For the BOM, if all criteria is met and COL approved prior to submitting, you can receive your payment link within a week of the application being received.
If award must be reviewed by the board, expect an additional 2-3 business days added the process prior to payment link sent.
Engraving and printing will not occur until payment is made.
Framed awards can take up to 4 weeks* to prepare depending on the number of frames currently in process. Orange folder awards can be prepared within a week of payment being received.
On average, if not ordering a framed award, please allow at least 2 full weeks from online nomination submission to award in the mail.
There is an additional $25 fee for all awards paid for less than 30 days from the presentation date. This is not a rush shipping fee, but a convenience fee due to the volume of awards we process each month.
*Please note that we do not prepare the frames in house. We rely on a local frame shop in Augusta, GA who has done phenomenal work for the SCRA for decades.
