If you are on the fence of what dealer to choose I recommend them highly.

I spent hours searching online, chatting with different vendors, and even adjusting my design to make it less daunting for a vendor to complete. At the end of long day, I took a chance and called Shawn at Instant Imprints 1 minute before closing and I'm SO THANKFUL I did. Shawn took the time to listen to my story, even though they were closed for the night. He called his design team to double check if my request was even possible. After some back and forth with questions and design checks, he took my project on! Because they knew it was a rush project and I was really anxious, he and his staff even provided me daily updates to put me at ease. They looked great, got to box them exactly how I imagined and those who got their gifts were really surprised and excited about not getting a regular schmegular plaque. I am so grateful to him and the staff for making this happen for me and my company. I will ONLY be using them for my future projects.

I stopped by Instant Imprints San Marcos and I'm so lucky I did. Service was stupendous! I spoke with Sam at the front desk and carefully explained to him what it is I desired: half size 5"x7" double sided color flyers. A quick approval from Tim on the formatting and design, and I was out the door in a matter of minutes! The best surprise was to find out that my Uncle, Fernando of Resendiz Construction, actually does business with them with his printed merchandise. It was an awesome affirmation that they are in fact an amazing establishment to do work with. I look forward to future partnership opportunities where we can both further each other's businesses. It's about Supporting Local, always!

This review is based on communication experience, not work quality, as I was unable to get past a…read moremonth of unprogressive back and forth. I found this business through Yelp while searching for a custom shirt company for a large multidisciplinary project with other investors. Their excellent reviews, quality work samples, design assistance capabilities, and small minimum orders for samples made them appear to be an ideal fit. After reviewing their website and options, I reached out over a month ago but received no response. Assuming my message didn't go through, I contacted them again via Yelp on August 15th and received an initial response. However, after I replied, I had to follow up a week later due to no response. They responded again, and I provided the additional requested information on August 25th. I followed up on September 3rd, and it has now been two weeks since my last message. While I understand the challenges independent businesses face in the current economic climate and have been extremely patient due to their 5-star reviews, this level of communication has been completely unprofessional. As a former small business owner, I always maintained transparency about whether projects were within my scope, ability, or bandwidth. If I couldn't take on a project, I communicated that clearly rather than leaving clients in limbo. After more than a month of unproductive back-and-forth, I question whether these 5-star reviews accurately reflect the current service experience.

I was upset that this wasn't communicated to me, nor did she offer an alternative while I was in the store. She simply let me walk out. The latter half of my review below still stands, but I've updated the overall rating from 2 to 4 due to my pleasant experiences with a gentlemen that works there--and overall the miscommunication issue from my last visit doesn't necessarily warrant a 2 star review. Can't say I'll be back unfortunately due to the bad taste, but I'm sure this business will come in handy for others who need them. **** Original review: Shocked at the experience I had while visiting this t-shirt mart. I was turned away when I inquired about having 9 shirts printed on and 9 polos embroidered. They advised me that as of 2022, I must have a minimum of 18 shirts to be printed on. I'm dumbfounded they'd turn away 18 items in total because--and I quote--"the polos don't count as the 18 minimum. You must have 18 shirts". I gave this business two stars instead of one because I've had decent experiences in the past with a bigger gentleman with dark hair who worked there, but I wanted to also leave this review because I have repeatedly had bad experiences with the shop's (presumable) owner. I used to constantly visit this location prior to the pandemic and there was always some sort of stipulation she required or issue she had while attempting to place an order. This new one is just flat out egregious and it really sucks that I won't be back to support a local business.
