I rarely write bad reviews. I am a big fan of small business, and I figure everyone has a bad day,…read morewhy commit it to the internet when they do. I worked with DE in advance for what I hoped could be a great review, but it isn't going to work out that way. This is a bit long, mostly because I want you to realize I am not some Karen that gives out poor reviews for no good reason. I also hope that you and DE might learn something positive from the review. I want to start off by calling out Courtney for being a great person to work with. I feel like if I had been able to work out a solution to the deficiencies with her, this review would be better than its' going to be. I added a star to the review just because of her. I just started my own company. I've owned and managed others in my 35 year career, and having embroidered hats and shirts has always been something I enjoyed. Embroidery lasts longer than screen printing, and looks classy. I found DE via the web and their reviews were good, so I stopped by to talk to them. Courtney met me at the counter and we discussed whether they were OK with me supplying the soft goods and what format they needed the artwork in. A couple of weeks later I had accumulated both and dropped them off. When I dropped them off, Courtney and I looked at the artwork on their computer and adjusted the thread colors to match their equipment. She mentioned that my logo had a large stitch count, which to me meant that it would be costly to produce. It meant something else to them, apparently. More on that later. She told me that it would be a week and a half to two weeks, which was not a problem. Less than two weeks later they called and said the order was complete. I picked them up yesterday and the looked at the top couple of items, which looked good. Paid and left. When I got home and unboxed the whole order, I found about 1/2 of it was not so good. The sun-rays in our logo did not meet the outside border, especially in the lower right of the logo on many pieces. On the other pieces, it varied from meeting the border to the gap not being enough to bitch about. Not what I would have liked to have, but nothing to write a long, poor review over. The next day I took the order back to them and was told I would have to speak with the manager. OK, not a problem. She informed me that because the artwork had such a high thread count it could not be sewed consistently from piece to piece. She also blamed the artwork, indicating that if I had spent $35 with them to convert the artwork that it would have revealed the border wasn't big enough. She also indicated that different hats, unstructured especially, are hard to work with. I am not disputing any of these things. Where our discussion became uncomfortable is when I pointed out that while I brought the artwork, they reviewed it on their computer before accepting it. I get it, that sometimes you don't know something is going to not go well until you try it, so I am even willing to grant them dispensation on that. But when I mentioned that they should have stopped when the first one went bad, the manager asked me to leave. I was being calm, I wasn't argumentative, made no threats, and used no bad language. Literally all they had to do was call me and tell me that the artwork was not right or too difficult and offer solutions or simply state they can not handle this level of detail. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. I would have totally spent another $35 to have them digitize the artwork if that would have prevented this. They have a big sign that says they take no responsibility if you bring your own soft goods, and I get it. Some material shreds under the machine, others pucker. And if this had been the issue, I wouldn't be writing this review. Fact is, about half this order is inferior quality, and the other half is OK. It all might have been great if they had told me to have their digitizer do the artwork. After the first just OK piece I would have made that call to my customer to suggest we re-digitize the artwork. I did ask for them to credit me for the half of the order that is inferior. Not for all of the goods that were ruined, but just half of what I paid them. The manager just pointed to the sign and said there was nothing she could do for me. It's disappointing as I was going to have them make me a few signs and a banner if this had gone well. In conclusion, I'm not saying don't do business with Digital Expressions. I am strongly suggesting that you have them digitize your artwork and supply the soft goods. From my experience I can't tell if they are capable of doing great work, but I think it is likely as not that they can. They do need to learn to communicate before things become unrecoverable.

In every other exhibit hall we've been to the on-site FedEx office is actually right within the floor plan of the exhibit hall ... After expressing our frustrations, Brian Williams, the general manager stepped in and provided the manpower to assist us in getting all of our materials over to the exhibit hall. We asked FedEx to hold our boxes for the next 3 or 4 days because we need them to repack all of our exhibit material to reship to other locations. At the conclusion of the trade show we found out that they had inadvertently been thrown out. Brian totally owned the problem and provided us with boxing and help pack for almost 2 hours at no additional charge. This is the kind of mindset every employer is looking for...and every entrepreneur must have. We had forgotten one box and packed it with our personal belongings on our way to Boulder... figured we'd ship from there. There's a UPS store next to where we were staying and we brought it in to get it labeled and shipped.. I thought I was going through TSA with having to pull my driver's license out and sign paper documents as if I was also sending this overseas to a foreign country a process taking close to 20 minutes . It was a stark reminder of why FedEx is number one. Anyone headed to the Grand Hyatt in San Antonio ask for Brian Williams ....the dude will take very good care of you. First class guy with a first-class personality delivering first class service.

By random search for a screen printing company, I found Bud's Embroidery on McCullough. Bud and his team were able to make our swim team t-shirts beautifully! On my end, I was given a very short time period to get shirts for our event. I mean SHORT! Bud's Embroidery made it happen! I am very impressed with the customer service that Bud provided. Bud promised that the shirts would be ready by 6:00 p.m. Tuesday. By the way, Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. was when the shirts were being handed out for event the next morning . I was thrilled and said I would be there at 6:00. E-mails went back & forth that day and the shirts were ready on time! However, through a comedy of Murphy's law errors that day, I was running late. Bud sent me a text to remind me that the shirts were ready!!!! I told him I was running late. He said it was ok. I am almost certain he stayed just for me so I wouldn't have had to show up empty handed that night which would have meant the kids would not have had their shirts the next morning. Most companies would have just closed for the night and not thought twice about an order not picked up. That personal treatment goes a very long way with me!!! You will never regret trusting your orders to Bud's Embroidery! I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Honestly the best place with the best price to have any kinda screen printing for your shirts or hats I had few orders from Bud's Embroidery, some business and some personal, and they never disappoint me 1- Price: their price is so reasonable and they give you the best price in town. I asked few other places around the area and they did not impress me with their prices like Bud's Embroidery m 2- Customer Service: As soon as I walked in, I was welcomed and felt so comfortable to make any business with them. The lady at front took good care of me and provided be with the knowledge of the difference between each printing. 3- Job: They got the job done quicker than expected. When I went to pick them up, all shirts and hats were amazingly printed and all done professionally 4- Durability: I've had a shirt with them since 2019 and I've been wearing it once a week to work and nothing has been removed after I've watched it and dried it 100 times, none of the printing faded it's color or got removed I recommend this place and trust it, I've been working with them since 2019 and they'll always have my business read more

Hands down the best place in town! With my store's Grand Opening being the following morning and last thing on the list was getting a few work shirts of mine embroidered with the company logo.. Not only did they get them done on time but they were awesome enough to do it @ 11:30pm the night before!!! & yes you are reading that right.. 11:30 at night! I called Bud's thinking that I was going to get an answering machine (like every other company I had called prior to) but I was gladly mistaken. The owner (without hesitation) asked me what I needed done, and said he would meet me at his shop in 15min! who does that!? I recommend Bud's Embroidery Outlet to Everyone! This place more than exceeds what it means when they say, "going out of the way for your customers." Because of Bud's I will now look my best for one of the biggest weekends of my life..

OMG! Best place ever to get embroidery done! Had a last minute idea of embroidering my 6 year old chef's jacket Wednesday prior to Christmas. Called everyone in town, Bud's staff was the ONLY ONE that said "yes," and to bring it in Thursday. I decided to "drop it off" Wednesday at closing time (with intent to pick up Thursday). Mr. Bud himself greeted me and guess what!! He personally embroidered the jacket on the spot! I was in total AWE!! These days, FEW companies actually go the extra mile for a customer. Bud went beyond that! I highly recommend Bud's Custom Embroidery & Screen Printing! Share with all. Please SUPPORT your small local San Antonio businesses!

For next year, I wanted all new shirts with my own unique logo. I searched the internet and found several companies that could do the job. I was surprised to see BMB Stitch Factory come up in my search. I was even more surprised to learn that they were located about two miles from my home. Instead of ordering on-line, I dropped into their storefront to meet with them and see their shirt selections in person. The lady I worked with there was awesome. She helped me find the shirts that would give me the best comfort and service as workshirts. Then, she even stitched two samples of my logo on black fabric so I could actually pick bettween stitiching styles and see what my shirts would look like before ordering. I liked the sample and ordered ten shirts on Monday, June 28th. They were ready to be picked up four days later, but I didn't get there until today. The shirts look fantastic. The price was fantastic. I will use BMB for all my future custom embroidery needs now because they are affordable, they do an excellent job, I can see and touch the merchandise for quality before selecting it, and the finished products are ready really fast. I plan to get some hats with the same logo for when I go out on duty. Maybe I'll get a jacket made for cold days. Who knows? When you need something embroidered, please drop by BMB and let them show you what they can do. If you do, tell them Jim Baker sent you. I don't get a kickback, but I want them to know that I am speaking highly of them.
