I decided to give this shop a chance in spite of the lower reviews since I know that ratings on…read morehere tend to veer towards the extremes. Glad I did, because I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had a last-minute commission that I needed to get printed, and this shop got it done with an incredibly quick turnaround. I sent in my request around noon, calling immediately after to request same-day service, and got the email that the order was completed about 20 minutes after I confirmed the final printing details. The total came out to just short of $16 (due to the rush fee) for five 5 x 7-inch prints, which works great for me. For technical folks like myself: the prints were done on 11 x 8.5-inch card stock with indicators for where I needed to cut (I opted to do it myself to avoid the service fee) and were handed to me in a plastic sleeve. They came out perfect, nothing to complain about. Customer service was great too. I presume I was chatting with Anna, who helped me fetch my prints as soon as I told her my order specifications. She was very kind and payment was quick and painless; the cost was exactly as quoted plus tax (which they warn you about in the emailing stage). Even when I called a couple days ahead to ask about their print details (ie. confirming that they use CMYK, PDF, and ~300 dpi for artwork), the individual on the phone was very direct and easy to speak with, handling all of my questions with ease. I would be happy to come back with any personal projects or future rush orders. Highly recommend!

We had 62 shirts to print, some dark, back and front, some light colored a mix of sizes and sleeve length. Mike was very detailed and creative in his prototyping of the printing so everyone could see the shirts before they were done. The turnaround time was great. I would give 6 stars if I could. Thanks heaps Mike and Team :)

You should absolutely go to Against the Grain for all your screen printing or heat press needs!…read more Mike was incredibly helpful when I came to him with a pretty specific request for printing some shirts for my running club. He was attentive and made sure he knew exactly what I was looking for. He was very responsive via email, communicated clearly about what I could expect and made sure I was happy with how the project was going. He got the job done in a reasonable and timely manner and made sure we got the best quality work. I couldn't recommend him more, and I'll definitely be going back if I have more printing needs.

The business needed a professional and effective website, something which would be easy to view, navigate and read. Affarei met with myself and the Founder of the company and we agreed upon advertising by use of a website. I gave Affarei all the pictures we had which portrayed the most of what our business is about and they did an amazing job touching up the pictures and placing them in an appealing order. Being apart of a small business, I did not have the most available time to provide Affarei with all the literature and descriptions of the type of work we do, however, they wrote pages beyond pages explaining the type of work and services we offer. They most definitely delivered more than expected throughout planning process, trail/proofing stages, and the final product. They were very easy to work with, displayed the utmost professionalism and kept me updated in order to stay on top of this process. I would recommend Affarei to anyone who is need of a website, superior SEO, and all other marketing materials. These guys were able to get the job done in a fashionable amount of time and have added new customers to our list within the first month of our website being launched.

Plus, the scents are always so unique and it feels gratifying to enjoy something so special made with so much love. Thanks Eleanor for sharing your cheer and grace. Happy shopping!

I experienced a noticeable difference in the level of service here during my last round of shipment…read moredrop-offs on Sunday, August 10. Can-do, helpful attitudes, that was quick and efficient. I needed to purchase some packaging tape to finish off a few packages and the employee gladly took care of it for me without having to buy a new roll, open it up, finish packing it, etc. I was in and out within 5 minutes for my 8 packages which isn't the kind of efficiency I am used to. I leave off one star for now as I'm aware this could have been an isolated incident. Most of the time it's painfully slow and unhelpful service... Hopefully there is positive change being implemented at this location!

I'm used to receiving a QR code from Amazon to show the counter staff when dropping off a return. However, when I arrived and searched the app for it, I realized my return required a pre-printed label. This was on me for not noticing sooner, but tell me why it costs $4 and some change just to print a single b/w sheet of paper at UPS. I paid since I was on my way to dinner and didn't want to lug around a clunky box, but this is ridiculous considering it costs a fraction of the price for self-serve printing services at competitors like FedEx. My bad and never again.
