What Our Customers Say
Shirts are extremely high quality and the communication with myself and the team was great. They rushed my order and I’m very pleased with the experience.
T-Shirt Elephant provided great service. There was a problem with my graphic and they were quick to catch it. They promptly contacted me to discuss the changes needed. Once I had fixed the error, my shirts were printed and shipped out very quickly.
Excellent communication. Fantastic final product. I will happily do business with them, again.
I ordered 20 shirts for a yearly motorcycle trip on relatively short notice. The shirts looked amazing and I had many positive comments. They also had them done quickly for me!
Very helpful during the design phase, sent us photo proofs and recommended specific design changes.
End product was high quality. Will definitely be returning for further business.
I can't recommend T-Shirt Elephant enough!
I was in charge of ordering all the swag for our family reunion (custom t-shirts and tote bags), and after a very frustrating experience with Custom Ink, I found T-Shirt Elephant at the last minute. I had been extremely clear with Custom Ink about my deadlines, but on the day I was finally ready to place the order for tote bags, they suddenly told me they couldn't get everything to Canada in time, even though they had assured me multiple times that they could.
In a panic, I emailed T-Shirt Elephant explaining that my request was urgent and asking if there was any way they could help. Not only did they respond quickly, but they delivered everything on time exactly as promised.
Then, just a week later, Custom Ink let us down again by repeatedly altering the design that my family member had worked so hard to create for our T-shirts. She was understandably upset, so I reached back out to T-Shirt Elephant with another last-minute request. Once again, they came through without hesitation, respected our design, met our tight deadline, and made the entire process seamless.
The quality of the shirts and tote bags was fantastic, and everyone at the reunion was blown away by the swag. Most importantly, the family member who designed everything was so happy to see her vision come to life exactly as she intended.
Thank you, T-Shirt Elephant, for turning two stressful situations into huge successes. Your customer service, reliability, and attention to detail far surpassed any other company I looked into. I'll absolutely be using you again!
Arrived on time, print quality was great. Fair pricing.
Beautiful printing. Excellent service. Excellent shirt quality. Very satisfied. We will continue to order for the winter. And we will recommend to friends
Excellent service with a short lead time. The dry-fit t-shirts I ordered were perfect and the silk screening on the front and bak of the logo and the year came out great with just the right placement. They know what they are doing and it shows in the quality of their work. I look forward to doing business again with them very soon.
They were able to resize my graphic without loss of fidelity. The printed graphic, while plastic, is well bonded to the material.
The shirt itself is a good weight, and delivery cost was reasonable, if a bit slow.
All in all a really good experience
Amazing quality! Tank tops arrived in time for our pickleball tournament!
Absolutely fantastic! It was my first time printing my own artwork on a T-shirt, and the whole process was very easy. The website is intuitive and user-friendly, also shipping was extremely fast. The quality of the product is out of this world, from the material (heavy cotton) to the print quality itself. I’ll definitely be printing more stuff in the future!
I ordered 3 shirts and 2 hats. After I placed my order, I emailed them to confirm a detail, that was after hours. They responded first thing the next business day and were quick to respond after that.
The quality of the shirts and hats are great and the printing came out perfect.
I definitely recommend Tshirt Elephant for printing jobs, especially if you don’t need a lot as they allow any amount of printing.
The ordering and pick up process was easy and we are very happy with the final product.
This wasn't our first time ordering from Tshirt Elephant, and it won't be our last!
The shirts look great! The delivery didn't show up on the original timeframe, but life happens and sometimes things don't go to plan! The important part is how Tshirt Elephant handled the delay. They fielded my panic, were kind, and very fast responses from customer service. I would absolutely use again!
A wonderful company! We have been in correspondence with Jason, and we are very happy with the help and guidance he has offered for our apparel needs. We recommend T-Shirt Elephant to all of our friends.
5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Needed a few tactical shirts with our logo done for an event on the same day, and they made it happen!! The turnaround was incredibly fast, the shirts came out exactly how we wanted, and the whole process was seamless. Couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend!
T-Shirt elephant is excellent for small to medium run custom branded clothing. They do good design work. Can provide you with a proof before production and provide reliable consistent service
Always a pleasure working with T-shirt time to supply our merch for kids camps
Fast shipping, great communication, high quality product. Couldn't be happier!
Creating my design was easy and fun! After purchasing my apparel I also realized I neglected to use the promo code they were offering, so I emailed them and asked if it could be applied and they graciously offered it in a timely manner. Great company to use!
I made Tshirts for my daughter. They came very pretty, nice colours. She loves them and wears them constantly. I washed and dried them multiple times and print holds very well. Very pleased with my purchase. I’ll definitely order more.
The ordering process was easy, and the t-shirts arrived in a timely manner and seem nice. The printing was good quality. The only minor complaint I can make is that the web site gave me no updates on the progress of my order --- even now, having received the t-shirts, it still says my order is "being processed". So I had a couple of uncomfortable weeks wondering what was happening with my order and if it would even come. Still, in spite of that the t-shirts arrived within a day of the original estimate at the time I placed the order.
T-shirt elephant did an amazing job getting our shirts done on a tight timeline, and the quality was excellent. Couldn't recommend them more!
Great and fast work.
I am very happy with the tees I recived.
