While exploring other suppliers, Helm considered importing directly from China due to the quick turnaround. However, the low quality of the products, which he rated a mere 3 out of 10, was a deal-breaker. “Despite the fast delivery, the quality was horrific,” Helm explained. “Paying AUD$8 to AUD$9 a medal for subpar craftsmanship wasn’t a sustainable option for us.”
Badges And Medals had a better price-to-quality ratio, he said. Their products were “a solid 10 out of 10 from me”.
