I've used t-shirt express for years and they have always been dedicated to quality products at a value. Nick was committed to getting every detail right in my last visit.

The young man that first helped me was VERY HELPFUL!!! When I went back in the lady that was working was rude and brushed me off. When my order did come in she just plopped it on the counter and turned back around.
VERY SNOOTY AND NOT NICE!
