• It is easy to be happy with an experience if everything goes in your favor, but the trick is keeping the customer happy when things go wrong. I am VERY pleased with the customer service offered by Melissa and Jodi when my order got lost in the mail. A replacement was sent out and I received the product just a week and a half after alerting House of Names about the lost item. The Surname History that I ordered was very intriguing and interesting, and has prompted new insight in my pursuit of my ancestors. This is the type of customer service that brings people back for more. Thank you so much! (PH)

• Dear Sir/Madam I would just like to commend your company on a Job well done. Your staff went above and beyond the call of duty with my order to ensure it was perfect. It was an anniversary gift for my husband on our first (traditon Paper) wedding anniversary. The suggestion to purchase a coat of arms was made by a family friend and we could not have anticipated how much knowledge and research your company had put into the history behind the name. To say that the gift was appreciated and well recieved is putting it mildly. Your company have excelled themselves and I have since passed on the details to any one who is remotely interested in their family heritage. I have a wedding coming up soon, and needless to say will be utilising your service once more. (MO)
  Please pass on my warmest thanks to all involved in the creation of my order.
• THANK YOU SO MUCH!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS! YOU HAVE AN EXECLLENT PRODUCT.(JDD)
