What Our Customers Say
My order came on time, and was better than I expected!
FAST, QUALITY & SERVICE...I waited a few weeks to write a review because I was skeptical an online t-shirt company could provide quality shirts with a quick turnaround. T-Shirt Elephant does just that. The performance t-shirt we ordered is of high quality at the right price. The customer service was outstanding.
Ordered socks for our hockey team, with our custom logo printed in multiple colors and they turned out fantastic and arrived relatively quickly. for such a large order, and the quick turnaround that I asked them to complete. I even had a sizing issue when I placed the order (my fault), and they were very quick to respond and get the sizes adjusted for me without any pushback or issues.
Very helpful service, corrected my delivery address swiftly and was satisfied with the tshirt they received. Good for gifts.
We had an amazing experience with T-Shirt Elephant. They were quick to respond, they provided a solution to a problem we had, and the product we received is fantastic. We will definitely be working with them again soon.
Quality work, accurate sizing. Make your own personal one of a kind design dreams come true here!
Great quality. My team loves their new gear
Creating shirts is incredibly easy. They always arrive with the logo the perfect size, in the exact right spot. Shipping is fast, and there's a great selection of shirts so everyone gets what they like.
Very easy to order, received quality merchandise. We will order with them again !
I had a great experience, i ordered safety shirts and sweaters for my team. Everything came on time and is good quality, I will be placing another order.
Product was exactly as I was after. Great service, easy company to deal with
Easy process to edit your design. Good quality, ahead of expected delivery. I
ll order again.
Incredible experience!! Fast delivery and amazing quality.
It was really easy to order. I ordered it and they created the small order quickly. The quality was great and I had no issues. I will order again from them!
I ordered a custom made tank top through another company but they screwed up the order not once but twice so I decided to try another company and found T-shirt elephant. They took my order and promptly created it and shipped it to me without any issues. I recommend T-Shirt Elephant's services to anyone who is planning to make a custom tee or tank top!
The site was easy to use! When the shirt came in it was exactly as expected and no imperfections or weird smells that sometimes happen with production and factories! Will be an awesome gift im excited to give!
We ordered tote bags and hoodies and they were excellent quality! The prints came out so clean and nice! Really impressed and will definitely use T-Shirt Elephant again!
Note: I'm giving 5 stars, but was close to removing 1 star due to using Intelcom as a delivery service. No signature required and anyone who has experienced Intelcom knows how bad they are. Please use trackable deliveries & signature requirements in the future (Canada Post, Fedex, UPS, etc.)
I’m very happy with the sweater I had made for my dad - the quality is very good and it washes well as far as the pigment and embroidering not getting altered. It was also a lot cheaper than the swag that I was otherwise going to buy through a name brand company!
I'm really happy with the final product I received. Proud to support a Canadian company!
The custom shirts were made as designed with fast shipping.
Absolutely love the quality of the Tshirt. I have had this same print made 5 times over the years and these are by far the best for print quality colour. All the highlights are there and not filled in. Great job! I’ll be back!
Great company to work with from design to shipping, ever step was easy and seamless. For any size project, this is the company to deal with.
I’ve gotten custom tees printed from them twice now & honestly the quality, speed of delivery and the ease of making the tee is insane!! 10/10
Great service quick ship good products
