If you value good customer service- stay away!!! I ordered t-shirts to have completed right before Christmas. The front office staff was nice, but extremely unprofessional (all were wearing sweatpants in the office- come on- I was dressed better to walk my dog!). I was hesitant after hearing a bad review, but I decided to try them anyways since they were in my neighborhood. Shame on me- should have listened to my friend and my gut. The communication was extremely poor. I was assured I would be called when they had a final template done for my shirt and again when they would be finished. I received neither phone call and I was unable to get ahold of them to see if the shirts were done prior to sending my friend half way across town in a blizzard to pick them up. When I wrote to complain, I got the most immature response from the owner blaming ME (the customer) for the poor communication. Although he refunded my money, he continued to act like an immature brat for his company's failure to come through. Bottom line, if you value professionalism and customer service- I would NOT do business here. And once you walk up to their obnoxious store front, I think you will realize why! read more

Ordered a couple of sweatshirts and they just came in the mail today. Overall I'm pretty happy with them, and to top it off they arrived extra early. Honestly, I'd use them again because they really have fantastic prices. If you have time to wait (6-8 days) you can get a great deal on t-shirt, etc. printing. It's not quite five stars for a couple of things. The quote that I got and the ultimate invoice I received were slightly different. Totally wasn't an amount that was a big deal, but I expect to pay what I was told it would cost in the first place. More importantly, when I placed my order I provided a link to another website where you can design your layout visually (very helpful if you can't get into the store), and it contained information detailing the dimensions of each graphic I added to the clothing. I asked them to pull the dimensions for each graphic off of there (multiple times, in fact), but ultimately they didn't get it quite right. It's not a huge deal, but one of the graphics is bigger than I wanted and takes the focus away from the logo. I suppose I should have just spelled it out for them, but I actually thought it was easier to look at it on the link. Finally, and I'm not taking stars off for this, but Ryan, the snarky responses to users who've had a not so good experience (whether their gripe is valid or not) is a MAJOR turnoff and I really strongly considered not using your company because of that. Your responses, and not their reviews, made me feel like I was really taking a risk using One Hour Tees. You have four stars, most people have had a good experience, and Yelp users can see that. Let that speak for you. read more

After seeing Billboards of this business, I figured why not give this place a shot. After submitting an online order on 5/18 and choosing the 7+ day turnaround, I did not hear a response. I called the shop on the 5/26 and was told that "I was emailed" by Karima. I said ok but I checked spam etc. She said she'll email me an invoice so we can move forward to have this gift by 6/3 (which would be a 16 day turnaround from 5/18). No invoice received so I emailed back on an update then I got an invoice. I was ready to pay but was told I cannot pay online but can do it over the phone. I mentioned that I did not feel comfortable doing such and that not being able to pay online was "archaic" and that i'll pass on my order. I got a response mentioning my submission was "archaic". Based on the owners responses of other Yelp reviewers, the lack of customer service starts from the top. read more

Nice people, nice quality! Was not thrilled about their artwork pricing scheme but it does make sense. Overall had a good experience there. read more

I really wanted to like this place but my experience was exceptionally bad. I'm gonna try to keep this epic odyssey short: -My order was placed on April 23rd, (7 day order) I received my order on June 15th. -The mock-up they sent before making the shirt was incorrect, I spent a lot of time on the phone and by email making sure they made the mock-up correctly. The digital files I sent were made by a professional graphics artist and my instructions were very clear. -After getting a correct mock-up the shirts were made and sent long after they claimed they would. They told me one of their machines had broken down so it was going to take a few extra days. -When the shirts arrived, the original mistake they made in the mock-up that I spent a lot of time correcting had returned AND there was a significant flaw in the print (one edge of the print was cut off and had a white line running down this hard edge. Very ugly and unusable). -I generally had a LOT of difficulty moving forward with them. If I called and the original person was not there, whomever I spoke with had little idea about my order or what was going on. -They apologized for the mistake and told me they would send out another set with both mistakes corrected. Since this was time sensitive and I needed the shirts a few days ago, I requested they accelerate the process as much as possible. They told me they were going to put me at the back of the line and that it would take a week or two. -The correct shirts never arrived. When I emailed them they said the shirts were going to be mailed out next day and arrive one day later. 5 days later when they didn't arrive I called them and they had no information about my order. They told me to resend the digital files and they would reprocess my order again from scratch. I did my BEST to remain polite. I sent the files again along with the 25 emails I sent back and forth already explaining all that happened and all that went wrong. -Supposedly the person I was originally dealing with got fired but the two other people I dealt with after weren't much better. -Up to this point no refund of any kind has been offered. -I finally spoke with "a manager" who says she will make the shirt tomorrow and send them out right away. I live in Chicago so it would be 1 day shipping. She also gave me a full refund for the shirts but not the shipping. I told her to PLEASE email me when the shipment goes out and to include a tracking number because I have no trust anymore. She did not email me and she did not send a tracking number. The shirts eventually arrived 7 days later. She said it would take 2-3 days. I'm leaving out other mistakes they made because this is so long. In the end, I finally got my shirts and they look good. Everyone I dealt with there made a mistake or a series of mistakes. I always had to contact them, they never reached out to me. I had to explain everything to every person I talked to because their access to information there is inefficient to say the least. Absolute nightmare. I will not be going back. I will never recommend. (06/25/15) ***UPDATE*** Ryan the owner reached out to me regarding my review. He asked me if there was anything he could do get me to increase my star rating or remove my review and offered me free T-shirts or anything else that would make me happy. He also said that 2 employees were let go because of mistakes on my order and other orders so it seems he is putting some effort into resolving the quality of service issues I had. So I have adjusted my review from 1 star to 2 "Meh. I've experienced Better" for his efforts. I'm actually surprised he didn't leave a snarky response on my review like he has in the past to others... I did choose to refuse any free T-shirts or other compensation. I'm ready to move on with my life here. (06/25/15) ***UPDATE AGAIN*** I spoke too soon. I gave him the benefit of the doubt with the 2 star thing, then he wrote me a snarky little message, so I have to take it back down to 1 star. This guy is review obsessed! I feel like it might keep him up at night. (06/25/15) ***UPDATE AGAIN!!!*** Geepers, so he read my second update and then sent me a really rude message and then blocked me so I couldn't respond. This guy is something else. He mentioned that only 1% of his web traffic visits Yelp so "I should be able to sleep well at night". Not sure why he is obsessed with pursuing bad reviewers so much if Yelp doesn't matter at all. read more

Mediocre service, poor selection, and bad website are the 3 takeaways here. My rep Jerad seemed totally disinterested throughout the quoting process. Basically felt like I was trying to negotiate with The Dude - giving the impression that my business wasn't important. And the fact that true "one-hour" printing possibilities were very slim only made the experience worse. Kinda felt like a slimy car dealership ploy where one single car is advertised at $9,999 but once you get there you find out the steering wheel is extra. Such a shame! I had high hopes (their billboard adverts are enticing and led me to think they were energetic and cool). After I received quote, NOT ONE attempt at follow up. No call, no email, no text, no visit to my workplace (okay that would be weird). But seriously... who expects to run a successful business like that? Certainly not The Dude. read more

Rude, incompetent employees. We've used them several times and if I had a better local place that didn't require a minimum order, I would. They have screwed up our orders several times, despite a million email questions that I thought (and have confirmed by co-workers) were very clearly answered. The order form is not sufficient if you're ordering multiple items, and apparently is confusing your employees. I've worked with two different employees now with the same results. Despite the screw ups, no discount or offer to replace anything. Once, because I signed a disclaimer saying I wouldn't hold them responsible if they damaged a specialty item I brought in, they wouldn't do anything to make up for blatantly *not following instructions* on these items (ie, they were only supposed to have a logo on the front, but they also printed a large one on the back, which is super tacky for this particular professional garment). Also, why bother asking which way I prefer to be contacted on the order form if you're going to email me no matter what? read more

I had some custom tees made for my best friend's bachelorette party. I have to admit based on previous experience with other t-shirt and custom printing businesses I was somewhat skeptical but One Hour Tees really blew me away. The staff was talented, attentive, and professional! I did not come prepared with graphics or a design but had a concept in mind. They were able to take my concept and turn it into something awesome! I just picked up my t-shirts yesterday and the result is better than I had ever imagined. Thank you One-Hour Tees!!! My best friend is going to think the tshirt surprise for her bachelorette is epic, indeed! read more

Let me preface by saying I haven't gotten my shirts yet, this is a customer service review only....but I'm confident my shirts will be great! Karima is awesome! She was amazing at interpreting my sort of obtuse visions for the two shirts I ordered, and was ultra-fast and really pleasant. She worked with my graphics and helped me select fonts that enhanced the overall design of the shirts, and was very knowledgeable and cool. She turned my opinion about One Hour Tees completely around, and she is model employee material. Go Karima! That being said, my opinion about One Hour Tees prior to meeting Karima was kind of blah, solely based on the owner's (Ryan B.) rebuttals of negative Yelp reviews. To this I have to say, Ryan B., your business model is awesome, your employees seem to be also awesome, you are obviously successful, and most people seem satisfied with their experience at One Hour Tees. You don't need to respond to the few haters--only makes you look weirdly petty. The best thing to do is ignore it, brush yo' shoulders off, and keep on doing what you do well. The snarky and weirdly personal responses you posted are a huge turn-off. Class it up! read more

Back again and happy again. OHT saved me this week. Long story short, the HR department decided to try and save a buck when they ordered shirts for an upcoming event. Needless to say, the shirts arrived and they were garbage. Too awful to use. I immediately contacted OHT on Friday, picked up my shirts on Monday and the event on Tuesday has been saved. The new shirts look fantastic and the owner Ryan even greeted me as I picked up my order. Never again will I allow my company to go anywhere else. read more

More often than not, quick and inexpensive means that you'll have to sacrifice some quality. However, this is NOT the case with One Hour Tees. I've had them do two projects for me and I couldn't have been more pleased. I did shirts for a bar crawl and shirts for a surpise party - 10 different designs and they even shipped them to Michigan for under $10. One-color shirts in one hour - $19.99. No minimum order. That's the truth. If you order more than 5 days ahead, you can get full-color shirts for $5.99. Seriously! You have to chose from a limited selection of light colored shirts, but there are tons of options. Slight drawback - the store is only open until 6 p.m. and is not open on weekends. However, Ryan is very responsive to E-mail and phone calls. Love this place! read more

I ordered shirts for our JDRF Walk this Sunday. They were supposed to be ready at 3 PM, I came at 3:30 just to be sure and they weren't done yet. So then I hung out in the area till 4 pm, taking a stroll along Clybourn all the way to Diversey and then to the Chicago River and back. Came back at 4 and they're still working on the shirts. Now they needed maybe another 45 minutes or so to finish. Ryan, one of the managers, told me he could deliver the shirts for me at night to make sure I got them. Sure enough, he came by to my house around 9 PM with a box in hand and delivered the goods... He took off and everything seemed OK. After I carefully reviewed my order, the 7 XL shirts I ordered were not included in the box! Aaarggh! And now it's about 9:30 PM Friday! What am I gonna do?! So I call Ryan back. He's already back at the shop. He said he would look for them. He calls me a short time later and reports that he found them. So back again he came with the rest of the shirts this time. It was about 10:15 when I received the missing shirts. What can I say except his customer service was extraordinary. He probably gave up a fun-filled Friday night to make sure my order was filled correctly. If there's a purple heart or bronze star given for valor in customer service and good business practices, Ryan deserves it. What was wrong he made right and delivered when it mattered to us most. That's all I can ask of anyone who does something for me. I'll be back when I need shirts next time. One Hour Tees is awesome! read more

I really have to say thank you to the staff of one hour tees on the quick turn around for my emergency t shirt I originally ordered from a company on line out of town and did this a few weeks back. I thought I would be ok but when the order was never processed I was in a big jam. I found one hour tees online and put in my order I followed up to make sure they got my order in and they did. I went in to pick up my order and the staff was friendly and polite. My order was amazing and I'm glad that I have it for the weekend. I highly recommend this business to everyone. They are friendly over the phone ,Internet and also when I walked in. I'm so glad to find a business like this that is so close to home where the people appreciate the business and really know how to treat their customers with respect. Thank you for all your help ! read more

I kinda wish that I could give this store more stars than just 5. I think part of the reason that I love this store so much is because it is family owned, and I love supporting America's small businesses. The other reason I love this store is I waited waaaaay too long to get a t-shirt order together for a bar crawl that I planned, and they seriously saved the day. Additionally, I am one of the least creative people on earth, and they helped to me to come up with design ideas. They were ready on time, and the shirts turned out perfectly. I would highly recommend that you get your shirts made at this shop for any occasion. read more

Honestly a little disappointing.. in town for a couple of hours and stopped by thinking they would have a lot better selection. They were out of quite a bit and the store was much smaller in size then I had expected. Still a cool place, just somewhat underwhelming read more

I've had sets of t-shirts made here twice now. First time went off without a hitch. This time they were screwed over by delivery of our shirts they had ordered, no doubt caused by the holiday weekend. Nonetheless, i NEEDED them for our softball game yesterday. They called to see if I could delay a day, but I couldn't. They had the shirts ready by end of day, ordering from antother company, This probably was at additional costs to themselves. I really do love a company that honors their prices/deadlines. I would do more business with them. Shirts are good quality and very inexpensive. The only drawback is that the printing isn't screen printing at this cheaper price, it's more of an ink printing, which still looks nice and won't come off, but will fade over time/washing. I still recommend the business as a whole! read more

One Hour Tees is awesome, they've printed a lot of shirts for my high school cheerleading team. We've placed big orders and small orders and they all turn out great. I've also ordered onesies for my nieces and cute tshirts for my softball team! The owner was flexible and let me pick up the shirts in the evening and they offer great pricing for bulk orders. I will definitely continue to use one hour tees! read more

Omg. These guys rock...I worked closely with Ellisa on my project and it was time sensitive and a bit more complicated than normal T shirt jobs. I got first class service, helping me understand the options and variances in inventory. She ensured I got exactly what I was looking for to surprise my wife. She went above and beyond...especially when I realized one of the shirts wouldn't fit my wife last minute...she came up with the perfect solution and saved the day! Thanks so much OneHourTees! read more

Unresponsive and unhelpful when placing an order. I received one email 24 hours after emailing them about the status of my order, then I never heard from them again. Unfortunate because this would have led to a bigger order if done right. read more

Have to say I was pretty skeptical about this place before placing an order, and that's mostly due to the sarcastic responses to some of the negative reviews by other Yelpers. BUT I was surprised with the quality, communications, and turnaround time. My colleague designed a quick graphic and ordered the shirt as a gift. He sent in the artwork, got a proof, approved it, paid and requested the same day turnaround (order was placed around noon). I drove by the shop at 3:30p (when they said it'd be ready), picked it up and was out in less than 2 minutes. Only negative? I wasted $0.50 cents on parking since I didn't need to pay for half an hour ;). I'll definitely order from them again. read more

I have used one hour tees to print my apparel for years. They are the only printer I know that can do minimum orders (as low as one item) for a good price. They are also able to print zipper hoodies and have the print over the zipper. It's a look that I have not found anywhere else other than one hour tees. I print with them on a weekly basis and the seldom times that there have been issues, they were quick to take accountability and come up with a solution. There are a lot of times that I order large amounts of shirts for clients and they need a few extra once the event actually happens. This is where One Hour excels because they can make the extra shirts quickly. read more

Cool staff, quality products, fair pricing scale They work with you to make sure you don't hate what you get back. After spending the time to get the print sizing down to the fraction of an inch and perfectly centered on the first visit - I'm in and out to re-order in seconds sometimes. They even email when it's ready to grab. I would take my business anywhere else if I found better pricing with friendly staff - hasn't happened. I've been using these guys since I started my business 3 years ago and will keep coming back (I've stopped shopping around, it got depressing). read more

Ok. I will preface this by saying, that my ordering experience was awesome! I walked out of there yesterday SO excited I was literally coming up with reasons to order shirts for whatever I could think of! the t-shirt color and style choices are great, the book of fonts had me acting like a kid in a candy shop (I like this one, no, this one, etc), and the prices are great, particularly if you don't need a rush job like I did. And then today happened... I had ordered 4 shirts (not at all a large quantity or a big job). Each tshirt had the same words on the front, and different last names on the back with a corresponding phrase. Well, apparently they messed up. They called me and explain their error. This is where I got pissed... I essentially got told, in the most diplomatic way possible, we messed up, it's our fault, but you're sh** outta luck, nothing we can do. So, i ended up paying for something that we didn't order. But- the owner, Ryan, was very quick to contact me this evening when he learned of my issue and was as helpful as he could be in the current situation. I would boost my review to a 5 star because of Ryan's quick response and customer service. But I feel, as a customer, the staff in the shop should have been a bit more concerned with my dissatisfaction. It is ONLY for this reason that I am leaving it a four. read more

I wouldn't go back again nor recommending them to clients. Yes, the tees were delivered on time hence the 1 star for meeting the deadline ... but the quality was poor. I have a graphic arts degree so I know the design I submitted was good quality--I only say that because I've seen other comments from OHT saying the client should have used their design services for a better result. I have worked with other companies (Spreadshirt, Redbubble, etc.) and understand that there are variations/variables when printing to fabric but the tee didn't match the proof I approved and the design on most of the tees was off-center, tilted/on an angle and faded. No real resolution either for the rep after he asked for a pic of the issue so overall just very disappointing! read more

THEY SUCK! And the one Star I rate is by default so that I may post this review. HERE'S WHY: I come in as a walk-in customer because I noticed that their on-line form did not have enough fields for what I wanted. Further, I had text in Spanish which I handed over to the clerk typed IN BOLD AND CIRCLED and he still managed to misspell a word! When you go there you have to sign a 800 word waiver and pay in full even before you see your merchandise, they are already admitting that accuracy is not their thing by asking you to sign it! These shirts are for a very special event and cannot be used in their current form. I am now forced to either blackout the text or bedazzle the text out. :( Not an apology, not a call from the manager - all I got was referred back to their waiver and vendor friendly terms. Not only are they ridiculously marking up the cost of the t-shirts, the service and product sucks... They will never see another dollar from me or anyone I know. Very sad day.... read more

Had the pleasure of working with Ashley at OHT today. She was very helpful and lot of great input. Quick, pleasant experience - worth the bike ride up to Wicker. Can't wait to pick up the tees. Reasonable pricing too. read more

I got so far only one shirt and I am beyond happy with their work. Also I've washed it and am happy that the print has not faded or anything. I will be getting more shirts done for sure. Plus I love that they are wrestling fans and love the memorabilia at their location read more

Wow it amazes me how many people who are giving this place negative reviews. I have ordered from this place multiple times, since I seem to always be the one handling our sports leagues. Every time I have had a great experience. I've ordered both in person and online, and I had pleasant experiences with each. When I've had designs that for whatever reason wouldn't work exactly as I brought in, they were able to change it up and make it look good. Also, I almost always get the 7-10 day service, but just about every time I've ordered they have had it done early. Most recently I had to order one new shirt for my team, since we only had one new person, but everyone else had the shirt from last year. I just ordered online, gave them my name and a description of what I had before. They easily looked it up and found it and were able to quickly get me the new shirt. I went to pick it up right as they were closing, and they gave me the wrong size. The staff stayed around to make my new shirt on the spot. Even though they had it ready like 3 days earlier than they said. Those little things keep me coming back. read more

First time here and I needed a Backstreet Boys shirt for a concert. The service was fast and the employees were attentive and nice. The place itself is overall awesome with all the wrestling pictures. My shirt came out perfect! I normally go to strange cargo but this place now will forever have my business. read more

Another successful order. Product is always really solid, art looks crisp as hell. Sometimes I don't hear back for a couple of days on questions, but no matter the order is always done on time and it always has whatever logo or requests I made implemented on it. Fairly cheap too. read more

I ordered some shirts and hats for a work retreat I am having in Las Vegas. Emily was the person who helped design and fill my order. She was extremely professional and knowledgeable with everything I asked. If you need anything done at OneHourTees ask for Emily!! read more

One Hour Tees Rocks Picked up a tee for my brother last week for the holiday after seeing a jumbo billboard on 90. The shirt was a knockout. This place has a young fresh staff that actually understands the latest forms of design and how to interpret what you're looking to get done. Plus the decor looks so cool. I've been to a few print shops before and they reeked of wet dog. The staff was all over the age of 50 and the workers didn't know much about Photoshop let alone a computer. This place made ordering teeshirts so easy and fun! I'm slightly shocked by the 1star reviews and glad I came here for myself rather than going off someones opinion. Lets get real guys, some of these yelp reviews are more comical than factual. I'm not sure what else you are looking for from a teeshirt shop? If you're looking for a a back rub and a sandwich this is NOT the place BUT if you're looking for : Fast tees, great prices, and excellent service..... One Hour Tees all the way !!!!! read more

Re: One hour Tee's, This company has provided a great service to our special event. Ryan Barkan has been a pleasure to deal with and his staff, friendly. I provided my own art so I can not comment on the on-site artists, (I'm a designer) But the shirts looked fantastic. They were done quickly and done very well. And worked with our charity's budget (Masonic Children's Home charity). The full color digital images have turned out so well. And loved the samples, and looked great in the photo shoot for the pre show promotional materials. In short, you have an event, team outing, or just any occasion that a custom shirt will work for. You will be hard pressed to find better. And I'm an ex Billabong surfwear designer from Australia. The results I've seen, rival far more expensive 4 color process prints from screen printing firms. Great job, great prices. I will give them far more work. Matt Colrain, VP. Downunder Designs inc. Chicago read more

Shirt sizing isn't very good. Shirts only get wider but not taller as the sizes go up. For someone who's not super tall but taller than average I was expecting it to fit a little nicer. The print itself is spotty. You can see the shirt through the ink in some places. Over all I probably would not order a shirt from them again. I love MURS too and was so excited for this shirt but I'm just swimming in it so it will never get worn. $35 dollars and 2 weeks of waiting. read more

I could have ordered the tank I needed online, paid more money, paid for shipping and waited a week to get it... but I procrastinated and didn't have a week to spare. I did have 2 days work with though, so I came here, placed my order within 5 min, picked it up earlier than they quoted, and was out the door! Wayne made the whole process so quick and easy! read more

So I waited until the last minute to get a printed T-shirt for my All Years High School reunion and I found One hour Tees online. In 45 mins, I had custom designed T-shirt! The entire staff is top flight..... Thanks much! MarC read more

I had a semi-complicated order for bacherlorette party tanks. All of them are different in different sizes, and I needed one of a different color. I don't trust Etsy for things that I need on a certain date because I feel like their shipping is a mess. So I did some research and came across One Hour Tees. Born and raised in Chicago, but this is my first experience with OHT. I went online and submitted an quote request and got an email the next day that someone would be handling my order. Then I got an email saying someone else would be handling it. Then I got an email from Jared (quote master) and he asked some questions. He figured out exactly what I needed, and recommended the American Apparel Unisex Tanks, which were perfect. I then had to submit my order again, and got an email saying Brittany would be handling it. Then I got an email from someone else asking for payment. I had a few questions throughout the process so I would literally email all four people who I had contact with because I never knew who my account manager or sales rep really was. I also asked for a proof before they were printed. The proof never happened. Next thing, I got an email within five days that my order was ready for pick up. I was so excited I got to the store three hours later. I was so nervous because I didn't know who was making these tanks or what they looked like since I never got a proof or picture or anything. I opened the box, and they are PERFECT! I'm so happy with how they turned out. I never spoke to anyone on the phone, never saw a photo, never really knew who was running the show over there, but I trusted that they would do good work. Sometimes you gotta just let the pros do their job. Their customer service was timely (not organized, but timely) and the order came out perfectly and on time. They were also very competitive in pricing, and I didn't have to pay shipping. I will definitely use OTH again! Pictures of the tanks to follow! read more

The owner is a douche bag. Rude, has no self control. Has a small man syndrome to say the least. Uses cheap materials, has clients prepay for the work done. In the end resulting horrible product for the outrageous prices. It is clear this is his first business. Basically as a client, you come in.... do all of the work yourself. After which you pay $40 for the material. Makes sense? Not really. Avoid at all costs. Feel sorry for your staff. read more

I could not have been more pleased with my experience at One Hour Tees. I was in a bit of a pinch, but Julio worked quickly and efficiently to create the exact shirt I had in mind for my niece to wear to her 8th birthday party. I was not anticipating having a very big selection of styles to choose from, but I was able to find the exact style I was hoping for. I would highly recommend One Hour Tees, especially for any last minute, personalized t-shirt needs. :) read more
