How to Order from MigAwards and Pick Up Your Awards in Hialeah

Updated

You can order from MigAwards either online through migawards.com or in person at its Hialeah showroom, then collect the finished pieces locally instead of paying for shipping. The shop describes itself as minutes from Miami International Airport, and it asks customers who want same-day custom work to call ahead. Support is available in English and Spanish, so you can confirm engraving details or pickup timing in either language before you commit.

Before You Order

A few things worth settling first, because they affect what you choose and how fast you get it:

  • What the award is for. Sports trophies, corporate recognition, academic awards, medals, plaques and glass or crystal pieces are all listed as separate categories, and the right type depends on the occasion.
  • Quantity. The site states that free personalization, free set-ups and free custom design help apply "on every order, big or small," so a single trophy and a full league's medals go through the same process.
  • Engraving text. Names, dates, team names and logos need to be final before engraving starts. Free custom-design help exists precisely so you can sort this out with a person rather than guess.
  • Deadline. If you need it today, plan on a phone call rather than a web order.

Ordering Online

  1. Go to migawards.com and browse by category — Sports Trophies & Awards, Corporate Awards & Employee Recognition, Academic Awards & School Trophies, Diamond Collection, Insert Medals, Piano-Finish Plaques, Picture Plaques, Glass & Crystal, Medals & Ribbons.
  2. Open a product to see its listed price. Examples from the site: a Walnut 8x10 vertical picture plaque at $49.45, a burgundy 9x12 picture pocket plaque at $55.20, a large flat-cut crystal apple at $48.07, and a Value Medal Series star medal at $4.89.
  3. Add the item to your cart and supply your personalization details — the free engraving and set-up are part of the order, not an add-on you purchase separately.
  4. If the design is unusual, use the free custom-design service before finalizing rather than after.
  5. Choose local pickup as your fulfillment method if the option appears at checkout; otherwise call to confirm pickup arrangements.

Expected result: an order confirmation with your engraving text recorded. Check that text carefully — it is what gets cut into the piece.

Ordering In Person or by Phone

The showroom is the better route when you want to see finishes and sizes, or when the order is urgent.

  1. Call the shop during business hours and describe the award, quantity and deadline. Ask specifically whether same-day custom work is possible for your item — the site says same-day custom orders are available but that you should call ahead.
  2. Bring or send your engraving copy and any logo file.
  3. Confirm the pickup date and what you'll need at the counter.
  4. Pick up in Hialeah and inspect the engraving before leaving.

Spanish-speaking customers can conduct the whole conversation in Spanish; the site states the team helps in English or Spanish.

Choosing Local Pickup vs. Shipping

Consideration Local pickup in Hialeah Shipping
Cost Avoids shipping charges Not addressed in the site material
Speed Same-day possible if you call ahead Depends on carrier
Inspection Check engraving on the spot Must be verified after delivery
Best for Urgent orders, bulky trophies, large league orders Out-of-area buyers

The site frames pickup as the way to "skip shipping," which makes it the natural choice for anyone in South Florida. For buyers outside the region, the material does not describe shipping terms, so ask directly.

Common Snags to Avoid

  • Assuming same-day applies to everything. It is described as available, not guaranteed — the call-ahead step is the actual condition.
  • Submitting engraving text you haven't proofread. Free set-ups don't protect you from a misspelled name.
  • Leaving a large league order to the last week. Thirty years in business doesn't remove production time for volume orders; confirm the timeline when you call.
  • Not asking about design help early. The free custom-design service is most useful before you've picked a product, not after.

What You Get for the Price

Every order includes free personalization, free set-ups and free custom-design help, per the site. The business has operated as a family-owned shop since 1996, engraving in its own Hialeah facility — relevant if you care whether the work is done locally rather than outsourced.
