maybe it's a recent thing. we haven't ordered from them in awhile, just because we found better prices at adgreek.com. adgreek takes awhile, but the prices are good

Also, a great site for designing your own t-shirts (like for rush or mixers or whatever) is http://www.customink.com/. They have a thing where you can plan out your design and everything, and it's very handy. They're always very prompt and courteous; I don't think it's ever taken them more than two weeks for them to finish and order and get it to us.

Greekshop1.com ROCKS

Adgreek has always been quick for me. I've ordered things on Thursday or Friday and gotten them Tuesday.

I'm bumping this because I was wondering - I am graduating in May, and I want to have one of those tee shirt quilts made out of some of my GT & OPhiA shirts that I probably just won't be having so many opportunities to wear in a few months. Have any of you done this, and if so, do you have any recs for companies that are really good or really bad, etc?

I had already posted this on the GOOD GREEK STORES thread, when I saw that I should post this here instead. So...

I want to highly recommend a store! Those of y'all who have had good ebay experiences probably already know about The Greek Shop, or at Greek And More. They also have IRL shops, one in Clinton, South Carolina, and in Myrtle Beach, called The Beach Greek.

The highest feedback I've ever given was to Jennifer and her sister's shops, as they are completely professional. Everything arrives when you're told that it will, and carefully wrapped to boot.

(This is the best part!) I have NO idea what their affiliations are, but they know their stuff, and will go out of the way to help you! I even mentioned that I had gotten in too late to snipe on an auction, and she found an identical item! Some chapters use The Greek Shop exclusively; I know when I see the name "jena216" on ebay, I won't get ripped off!

I'll be visiting Spirit Concepts today, and most likely the bookstore..... somebody told me that it is no longer Longs, but Barnes & Noble.

They are right. They have a new Gateway area that has opened on South Campus. The bookstore is in Barnes and Noble. Spirit Concepts is also still open. Be careful where you park. You can park behind Spirit Concepts, just make sure you park in a space that says "Spirit" on it in yellow on the pavement. OSU is known for being quick to tow cars...There is a parking garage where you can park to go to the bookstore. It is only $1 for 3 hours...

Thanks for the tips!

I just made an order from college crib. Ehhh. I only used them b/c they had a discontinued mug I wanted. I got a second mug that cracked after 1 use.

I had to return some notepads that had the wrong org on them. The return procedure was CUMBERSOME. Their sale prices are decent, but it was too much of a headache to return stuff.

I've never had a problem with sororityspecialties.com. I always had a super quick delivery when I worked with them.

I sent them a picture of it and they were able to tell me what they had used! They're really quick at responding and everything I've gotten there is awesome. I've never been to the physical store, but I would definitely recommend them!

FYI, I found out that the sisters are both Tri-Sigmas, and are SO SWEET!! I've never been to the physical stores, either, but it's so nice to know - really know! - that you're not going to be ripped off!

The Greek Boutique is awesome!! They are so easy to work with, and give a discount on group orders.

Do NOT use Graphic Cow -- we used to love them, but then they screwed up a shirt and refused to fix it. My tee shirt chair has the copy of the proof that she accepted -- they changed it and told her that they keep the same order number, even on changes, so there is no way to prove that she didn't proof the wrong one (okay, she literally has the copy of the one that she proofed - she made a copy just in case!) -- anyway, they won't fix it, but will print new ones for $5 each! That is ridiculous!! It would be like saying "UCLA at LA" that is the type of mistake they made. DUH - if it says "LA" on it, then people can probably figure out it is UCLA at LA!!! (No - I am not at UCLA, it was just the first thing that came to mind!) NEVER AGAIN!!

Blue Cotton is also good - good quality tees and they can ship them fast.
