What Our Customers Say
Service was fast and professional. Custom made with so many color options, I ordered 9 shirts in various colours and sizes. Wonderful to work with.
Great customer service, order turn-around, and quality of product. I will order again.
I had a picture of a friend printed on a t-shirt for a birthday surprise and the picture turned out perfectly. They said it would arrive in 2wks and was exactly on time. I would definitely use this company again for future custom made shirts. Highly recommend.
Fantastic company to deal with. Shirts we ordered were great quality. Correspondence with our representative was informative and pleasant to deal with. We will definitely be using this company in the future.
Reached out online and our rep Jason Sterling was able to help put in and accommodate our large order in LESS than a week. Shirts were made and shipped in a few days, the turnaround was incredible. The shirts came out really great, and they were able to let us specify some design requirements that the online design software had an issue processing. Jason also answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly via email, the experience was great. We'll be ordering more from them in the future.
Excellent design interface, lots of clothing styles to choose from
The sales staff and communications with this company are excellent and the product was as ordered. Canada Post delivered to the wrong address but all was corrected with good neighbours!
Really good quality shirts. I’ve ordered from T-Shirt Elephant before and have always been happy with how they turned out. The shirts feel good and the printing is great. I recommend them for sure!

The quality of the shirts were really nice for the price! Satisfied with both the material and the print quality. They were also super helpful in ensuring our shirts were ready in time for our event.
Fantastic quality of print, and the organic cotton shirt itself is very soft and well made.
It was delivered within about 2 weeks and was well worth the wait. I’ll be ordering from this place again.
We had a great experience with T-Shirt Elephant. The quality of the shirts is excellent, and the customer service was outstanding throughout the entire process. They were responsive and helpful. We’re very happy with the final product and would definitely recommend T-Shirt Elephant!
I had a short time line for shirts to be made and shipped across the country. T Shirt elephant did not disappoint even got the shirts to me early !! so beyond impressed with this company
Excellent screen printing quality, and excellent selection of high quality garments. Love that I can order just 1 item instead of a large minimum order most custom garment companies require.
I've ordered a number of custom t-shirts from T-Shirt Elephant and have always been pleased with the results. The design software is easy to use, and the selection of colours and fabrics is endless. Turn-around time is short, normally just a few days before my products are in my hands. Recommended!

Great turn around time for our team shirts and easy to contact when we had additions to our original order!
Easy to use website, quality product and effective service and delivery
The process of creating my custom hoodie for my partner was easy and clear on T-shirt elephants site. This was my first time making and ordering anything custom and they made it super easy. I chose them for that reason, and they are Canadian. No weird tax cross border stuff. my order even shipped earlier than was estimated which was awesome as it was a present. I highly recommend them.
Got a good quality shirt. They responded quickly over email when I was worried it would not arrive in time and got it to me on time.

- Moisture management: Both wick moisture, but the TT51 also adds antimicrobial and snag-resistant properties
