Testimonials

Great gift shop. I made gifts for family and friends and made exactly what they wanted. Incredible customer service.

Tobius

I’d just like to say how amazing your staff were this morning. They were so professional and were friendly. And considering how busy it was considering it was Xmas Eve, my T-shirt only took an hour.
I didn’t catch the name of your staff there, but would like to express a big thanks to the great efficient service she provided.
I will definitely be back again and would highly recommend to all my family & friends.

Wishing you & your staff a very Merry Xmas & a safe and Happy New Year.

Warm regards

Annarosa

Got same day printing with awesome service. The staff help us pick a font and a layout.

Samantha

Just letting you know this was received last Friday and wanted to say a HUGE thank you. You made the day of my 4 year old niece!!

Maria

Just wanted to say thanks very much on another job well done, even more so as your staff stayed back a bit later than closing time to finish them for me. Greatly appreciated.

Nick

Thank You for your great service and remembering me as a customer who enquired at the Harbourtown Store.
You are so helpful and I appreciate all that you’ve suggested & will do in getting us the best design and cost for our netball team.

Christine Godsmark

In regards to your employee Lisa at your Harbour Town store. From the moment I walked into the shop, she was friendly, welcoming and attentive.

I came in with a print request that most would’ve, more than likely, turn down. With enthusiasm and a great deal of initiative, Lisa happily took the job on and managed to do it with amazing results.

Just wanted to express my gratitude towards her excellent customer service and creativity. She proves to be a very valuable asset to your business and well deserves some praise.

Thank you and kindest regards

Scott & Mayson served us tonight. Mayson was amazing with our kids. What a laugh. They loved their moustache & mono-brow – really made our night.
Cool products too – I work in retail (own a Supermarket) & we got some of the best personal service I have ever had!

Got to love the service Chad and his team provides at Xpress Tees. Thanks for delivering these great tops. Our logo came out fantastic.
