    Exterior of the Boston General Store

    Such a cute store! It's the perfect place to find a unique gift for someone (or yourself!) and just fun to walk around. The items are curated from Boston and across the world and there's a small area to fill up bulk reusable containers with things like soap.

    The shop is located in the historic Oddfellows Hall.

    Worked with no sweat many times..communication is clear and always friendly..they go above and…read morebeyond to help you achieve the correct layout and product you are ordering..highly recommend..great turnaround time and good prices as well

    Basically everything that could go wrong did. I just went through all my email exchanges with this…read morecompany so I could faithfully document my insane experience with No Sweat: I get a couple initial quotes, for 3 different kinds of t-shirts. I tell him we decide to go with option 2. I send all files requested (high quality jpegs) as well as pictures of the shirts we made with the volunteer screen printer for reference regarding placement. I also send Hex codes so we can get the colors as close to correct as possible. Next contact: he asks for me to call in Amex. I call in. I ask to confirm that these are the nicer fabric. He says no and doesn't remember anything about that. (??) I forward him the invoice he sent me. He writes, "I hate mistakes but nipping them in the bud is a special kind of nice. AOK?" So i call him and give him the number. Next day he says the card didn't go through and I give it to him again. Card goes through... A week later he says he needs the PDF file (before he said a high quality jpeg would be fine, which is what I sent earlier). He says the printer he will use for this job requires a PDF. No prob, I convert and send pdfs on the same day at 6:45PM. I also resend all the instructions, including the images of the original shirts made with the volunteer. Get no confirmation of receipt. He asks again for a PDF file and tells me he can't do anything with an .ai file, and is getting pissy : "You're the 1st customer I've ever had (in 15 years!) that could generate an .ai file but wouldn't send me a simple pdf." I'm baffled by this because I have sent him a PDF and not an .ai file. When i ask him to send me the .ai file he thinks that I sent, he sends a DSA socialist image that i have never seen in my life (!!) and that apparently nearly made it on our t-shirts, lol. (We are a healthcare organization). I forward him the email I sent on the 11th, which had the necessary PDFs and all instructions. I do this politely after getting a lot of angry emails: "I'm not a salaried worker. I get paid for what I produce for my customers. Please respect my time." Hear nothing. On Sept 18, finally hear back. He says "Thanks, Stephanie. Not sure how that one got away from me. Here's the printer's proof. AOK?" So no apology for totally flipping out over his own mistake. He sends printer's proof with sizes of logo on front and back. Sept 19th: We email back, saying everything looks good except maybe we should make the logo on the back a tad smaller so it doesn't curve around. No response. Sept 21: It's getting close to the date that we agreed on - Sept 28 - and no word from him. So i poke and ask about just getting the last proof OK'ed. I say I just want to make sure we get them on Sep 28, as we agree. Sept 22: He sends me the OLD invoice- with the order for the basic tees, the mistake i caught the FIRST time, and should be obvious anyway because they had a different price on them. (AHHH!) He responds: "Well that was certainly a close one.." and has to move everything around (including using a new printshop in Vegas) because he was ABOUT to fulfill the order with the basic tees! (not the nice ones we paid extra for...) Sept 27: It's like 3 days before we're supposed to get the shirts for the event...and he sends the final proof. This proof looks different because it's with a different company, and it's the damn 3rd proof that we've gotten, so i sort of gloss over the fact that the orange looks a little lighter than the hex code I sent in. But the lettering is at least a shade of orange, and we are now 3 days out and don't have time to adjust things. He says it's going to cost an extra $50 for shipping (because of his screw up!) and I say we shouldn't have to pay extra to receive them on the day we agreed. The "orange" ends up turning out a BRIGHT yellow. If you send in a hex code that's a deep orange, you should get something at least CLOSE to that color, esp. since you have to trust the printer/designer because color can show up very differently on a proof from one computer to another. He clearly didn't send the color codes along to the printer. So in the end we didn't even get the product that we ordered. Basically I feel like I had to watch every damn interaction like a hawk because of all of his screw-ups. Also he was incredibly rude, patronizing to me because of my age (explicitly!), just really horrible to work with. We will never use again.
