First time ordering from Custom Ink. I had a great experience! Mattie was great— helped me with my design and the ordering process. He’s very professional, helpful and I appreciated the prompt responses! Excellent customer service! Can’t wait for the shirts to be delivered! Thank you!

Lily was excellent to work with! They have many items in house so you can touch and feel the fabric, and get a feel for the fit of the product. Lily didn’t rush me at all, and was extremely helpful in my product selections. She had recommendations for me based on my style and preferences. Due to supply chain issues completely out of their control, many products and colors are unavailable right now. Lily was knowledgeable about the products and was able to guide me to suitable replacements. I can’t wait for my order to come in- so far the process has been fantastic!

Getting things right with your companys image can be complicated. That is unless your working with Collin. Then its pretty easy to relax and know that you can achieve the look you want at high standard of quality.

I received superior customer service from Custom Ink at the Charlottesville location. Tess was professional, patient, attentive, & responded quickly to every e-mail. She took care of every need. Even though my first experience was a small order, she treated the transaction as if it were a million-dollar account. If you have a custom project, I definitely recommend them!

First experience working with Custom Ink on T-shirts and we were very pleased. Nathan was exceptionally helpful in showing us different colors and materials. The process, price, and ordering options were clearly explained. Really cant say enough about how helpful the staff were. The shirt quality and printing was excellent.

I had the pleasure of working with Nathan to develop koozies and a sweatshirt for a family reunion. He could not have been more helpful and made the experience easier than I could have imagined. The final products blew our family away and I am having to order even more due to demand. Thank you so much for your role in making our reunion that much more special.

Was calling in to inquire about some custom T-shirt’s and had not a clue what I needed. Tess was the helpful, friendly voice on the end of the line and she made the process a dream. I didn’t know half the things I needed until she brought it to light. Thank you Tess for going above and beyond to ensure I got all my needs met even the ones I didn’t realize I had!

Great customer service and fast! Nathan was great to work with! He helped us design and print a few shirts last minute on a SUNDAY and they came out great and were ready in about an hour. We had a fantastic experience working with him and the shirts came out perfectly! I would highly recommend going to Custom Ink if you need printed shirts! I cant wait to try their options to print on other things like water bottles.

What a great experience we had at the Custom Ink Charlottesville Va. location. Tess was amazing to work with and she made the design exactly how we wanted it. She was able to take a picture of our design and get it created electronically and on to our shirts perfectly. It was much easier to sit with Tess then to actually design the shirt myself online. If you need to design a shirt or merchandise and you live in the Charlottesville Va. area stop by and see Tess and the staff at the store. They were awesome and they play some great background music. Thanks so much for your help.

Awesome business to work with! I almost ordered shirts online but decided to go to Custom Ink since they were local. The prices were just about the same as online retailers but this way we were able to try on different style shirts and made sure they fit just right. Tess assisted us with the entire process and followed up with us every step of the way. The shirts turned out great and we will be back to order more soon. Thanks again!

Review №29

Im responsible for coming up with a design for 50 family reunion t-shirts. I chose Custom Ink because I was impressed with their excellent website with plenty of templates to choose from. Once I had decided on a template, the website allowed me to brainstorm a number of ideas and share them with my siblings to narrow our choices down to one or two. Once I had done that and stored them on their website I decided to go into their store to get some expert advice. It was very easy to make an appointment on-line within a couple of days. My wife and I sat down with the sales representative and he searched their website for the two designs we had worked on at home. We spent about 45 minutes trying various font and shirt colors to narrow it down to one design. Based on our design we were able to select a shirt style that would satisfy our needs and that we could order in both crew and v next styles. It was nice to be able to actually hold and feel the material the shirt was made of. Once we were satisfied, we were able to calculate the cost based on our estimated number of shirt and sizes. The entire process was quick and easy. Our sales representative, Nathan, was very professional and a great help in coming up with a shirt that everyone in the family will be proud of. We also discussed custom coffee mugs and hats for future projects I am working on. I definitely plan to use Custom Ink for other projects and would highly recommend them to anyone.

The Custom Ink reps were very quick to respond and very helpful in creating my design! It was a birthday present and he was so happy with how it turned out. Even when they sent the wrong colored shirt, they quickly expedited another so it arrived on time. I cannot recommend Custom Ink enough! Inkers are the way to go for sure ✌️🐙

Tess helped me find a tee shirt that had the kind of material I wanted (soft and stretchy) in the color I wanted, as well as a typeface/font and illustration (also in the color I wanted) that combined to produce a result that was just right. And she accomplished it all in a timely manner - the lady knows her software! The product arrived within a weeks time. Its all good!

Dropped into the store at North Barracks Road today to talk ask an off-the-wall design question regarding graphics for a tee shirt. The staff was so friendly and energetic! And the answer to my off-the-wall question was a quick absolutely we can do that!If you have not had a chance to try these folks, they are wonderful to work with. Huge selection of products and the final product surpassed my expectations (which we pretty high). And great prices.They are my new go-to custom tee shirt store.

Review №42

The in-store service was very good. However, the art department was not very helpful. It was very obvious that some of the shirts did not work well with the design and little effort was made to follow the in-store provided notes to refine the design and text. I had to go through several e-mails and phone calls to adjust the proofs myself. They acted like clerks vice designers. Overall the final product looks good on 4 of the 6 shirts and ok on the other two.3/29/18 follow up. The customer service team did reach out to me and worked diligently to understand the problems. The team also expedited reprinting shirts to ensure I ended up with a good product in time, although the image on one of those was slightly offset. In the end, I was happy with the product, and custom ink did not hesitate to make corrections and offer me a refund for the one shirt. They are capable of producing very good products and offer a an easy to use website along with in-store services. Hopefully, they are learning from these experiences to deliver a consistent high quality product. I would try them again based on their customer service efforts to get the product right.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! My wife spoke with Tess on the phone numerous times and she went above and beyond to see that our design and graphics were as we wished! She was extremely polite, professional, knowledgeable and compassionate to our situation. We made an appointment and she was waiting and ready to work with us. Again she was helpful in letting us see other graphics options and quickly answered any questions we had. We quickly had our design complete and was extremely happy with the final layout.Tess was spot on with our request for showing us a quality, light weight and long lasting t-shirt and in the perfect color that we desired!We were able to try them on in the store to ensure the perfect fit prior to ordering. Our experience was excellent and we highly recommend Custom Ink for your printing needs!Brian & SherryLyndhurst, VA

My daughter wanted to use her “one free shirt printed in front of you” coupon from the Barracks shopping center coupon book. We walked in and were greeted and helped by Tess, who was wonderful (and patient with a 9 year old designing a single girls rule T-shirt). The design was complete in about 5 minutes and Tess said she would call us in about 45 minutes once the shirt was ready. I would definitely recommend their services and it looked like they had a wide variety of shirts, pants, hats, etc to print on.

The most amazing store! I’m a small business owner, who is quickly expanding. After a brief visit to the store, I knew with out a doubt that I had to look no further. Between their customer service, print capabilities, and ability to source various materials one may need, I’d confidently recommend this store to any one!

Review №52

Have ordered from them 5-7 times over the past several years. Always been happy until I ordered Navy. Their navy is best described as deep-black-navy. Looks completely black unless you get real close. They refused to admit fault even after acknowledging the navy is a different color than the website and packing slip. To their credit they offered a 30% refund, but that doesnt get me the right shirts for my event. Shirts are ruined. Have always been happy before, so just stay away from the navy.

Great experience with Nathan at Charlottesville Custom Ink. I was familiar with custom ink from commercials on tv, but i like a personal experience and be able to see things in person, not just online that i want to order. When I drove by and saw the office, I decided to stop in. Boy am I glad I did. I worked with Nathan for about 3 weeks and he was so patient with me as I really didn’t know what I wanted. He spent multiple times with me when I stopped in at random and also a lot of emails. I finally made my decisions, ordered our companies “swag” and was thrilled with the results. Anything we order for our business in the future will for sure be done through Nathan at Custom Ink in Charlottesville!!

Nathan at Custom Ink Charlottesville is phenomenal! Professional and courteous! He helped me custom design t-shirts for an organized run with only a few weeks notice. He explained each of the customization options in detail, clearly proficient in and knowledgable of his craft. He was always easy to contact and quick to research and respond to questions to keep the customer happy. He helped our group organize two different designs at the last minute. IMO, best of all, he was a down to earth person, sympathetic to a situation where you cant please everyone and have to meet a deadline with a professional looking product. The store is immaculate and has sample images and materials organized and accessible to help customers decide in real-time. Plus, everything they do is accessible immediately on their website. Highly recommend, would absolutely use again!!

Custom Ink C-Ville is very user friendly and has a notably wide array of product options and name brand fabrics. Our organization has used them several times now and they always deliver a high-quality product, remain in constant communication during the design and production process and are always available to answer questions and provide suggestions. Ive used Custom Ink for about 7 years now (mostly by proxy), but the Charlottesville in-store location is a game changer that bolsters quality control and takes customer experience to a new level. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Custom Ink Charlottesville. For many years, some girlfriends and I have taken an annual beach trip. 2019 marked the 30th year for many of us, and we wanted t-shirts to celebrate the occasion. Nathan helped me to arrange a simple ocean themed design. Printed on a women’s v-neck, the style was flattering to all of us! Turn around time was earlier than estimated. We even had a professional photographer take a group picture of us in our shirts...a fun way to commemorate our many trips together. Kudos to Custom Ink Charlottesville!Karla K

I was in the Charlottesville store a few months back, and have not been able to write this review but wanted to make sure it got done, better late than never because I wanted to praise the Rep that assisted me, his name was Nathan Tavernaris. I ordered a shirt from a different company that dropped the ball and told me at the last minute (the day of) they would not be able to complete my order on time. I called custom ink in a panic and Nathan was able to guide me through what I needed over the phone, AND advised he could have it done within an hour right before my party was going to take place. I was so grateful and so humbled that he made my panic his emergency and was willing to go the extra mile. I came in to pick up the shirt, he greeted me with a hand shake and a smile. I am Thankful to him and the company he works for that represent such awesome Customer Service, that is now a days rare and unseen. THANK YOU!
