What Our Customers Say
I ordered a custom hat for my husband’s birthday and it is amazing! Thank you for the great quality print and great service!
I loved the t-shirt I had printed up for my granddaughter’s birthday.
The t-shirt is high quality and the print is perfect.
Highly Recommend! This was our first time ordering shirts and Jason walked me through the whole process and was patient enough to provide me with shirt options and his honest opinions of which would suit my needs better. Communication was quick, prices were great, and quality is amazing.
Excellent service and great quality!! Also fast service !
I ordered two shirts, white printing on black for the first and black printing on white for the other. The shirts look very good. Sharp and clean. The shirts themselves seem of decent quality.
Many thanks to T shirt elephant. They rushed my order and offered delivery so I could get my summer camp t shirts on time! The t shirts themselves were fun to design and looked great, but the customer service saved the day!
Our experience with T-Shirt Elephant was excellent. The product came just as we were expecting and arrived quicker than we thought it would.
Great quality. Fast and friendly service. Will definitely order again.
I uploaded a favorite photo of mine and had 2 T-Shirts made and they were spectacular. One was a gift for my son and one for myself. We both LOVE them...
I liked the ease of use and that they were able to accommodate my small, personalized order. I was really happy with the fit and quality, and the image came out perfectly. Will definitely use T-Shirt Elephant again!
Reasonable prices, good selection and value. I am happy with my products!
Good products, good service. I like the Gildan youth t-shirts, thick soft 100% cotton. The web interface for uploading and specifying your design is quick and clear. i’m a repeat customer. Recommended.
Great quality items and fast delivery!
Uploading my design and choosing colors was very easy. The shirts were made and shipped in a pinch for our softball playoffs.
Really happy with the results!
Product ordered came looking just as we were hoping. The website is easy to use and the shipping was faster than expected. Will likely come back again in the future.
I had some shirts printed for my business and they came out great! I am very happy with the quality and my experience with this company. I will definitely order again! Thanks!
I contacted the owner in a panic for a rush order and they were amazing. Perfect quality product, delivered ahead of schedule. 10/10 will be using their service again.
Came out exactly as ordered, very happy with the quality. 10/10 would use again.
Beautiful quality shirts and easy customization of the graphics.
The quality of the products is excellent. Highly recommended!
Looks great! If only I'd ordered the correct size, my bad! Ordering another!
My first time ordering with T-Shirt Elephant, and have to say that I am very pleased and impressed. Website was easy to use to design my shirts and the delivery of my 100+ shirts arrived exactly when promised. I ordered the American Apparel T-shirt and am very impressed by the quality of the shirts themselves, as they have a nice weight, and by the printing which was spot on. Everyone that I give a shirt to is immediately impressed by the quality. Thank you T-Shirt Elephant, fantastic job!
Expectations were definitely exceeded. They cleaned up logo's for print to a level way beyond what I expected they would be able to. They made a minor error on the order and very promptly took care of making it right with no hesitation, a level of service you don't see these days. They even accommodated changes on the reproduction that they certainly didn't have to, definitely above and beyond. I would highly recommend based on the experience I've had with them.
I was hoping to cancel my order due to the shipping being later than expected and also had made some errors in my original order that I was hoping they could fix. I contacted customer service and they were kind enough to negotiate with me since the order was already processed and I was unable to receive a refund. They made sure to have the order shipped to my preferred date and were so helpful!! T-shirts turned out amazing. Will be ordering from them again if I ever need to!!
