these guys did a jewelry project for me that came out well, but when I tried to get them to do a watch project, could never reach them. Left multiple voice mails, emails, never heard back, gave up. Eventually they said they were on vacation plus the emails had gone to spam.
I find the people doing plating projects to be a unique breed of person that seem to avoid customer service, communications, deadlines, or the like. Obviously a broad generalization, but I've talked to a lot of places. I think they get TONS of inquires, but not a lot of follow through, and so they are pretty laid back on responding. It would be ideal to work with someone in person, and not via mail/phone/email.
