Incredible products with fast turnaround. Has single-handedly clothed every member of the Harvard Lampoon with things that are so comfortable they are physically unable to take them off. Hope to use them forever.

I wear QRST shirts nearly constantly. They are incredible quality. We have been fortunate to work with QRST at the Harvard student organization that I am a part of (lampoon) and we always have an incredible experience. Quality is great. Turnaround is remarkably fast. Amazing organization

Now these are great shirts! Had a few shirts from these guys for an event and they didn't disappoint. Good printing, high quality material -- this should be your go-to for custom apparel in Boston.

QRST’s recently made t-shirts for my student organization at Harvard and I have to say: these are some of the most comfortable, durable, and high quality pieces of merch I’ve ever had. Great stuff, could not recommend highly enough. Definitely will be using again in the future.

This is the Harvard Lampoon. We were stoked about this t-shirt. Stoked before. Stoked after. Generally stoked all the time. I'm never wearing another shirt again. Just me, this custom t-shirt, and this boundless desert metropolis I call home. Great shirts. Great people. Great food.

Shout-out to Peter and his team for being the best company I've had the pleasure of working with. The team walked me through every step of the way. Excellent communication and followup, timely delivery, clear process, amazing prices, excellent results. I could not have asked for a better experience with these shirts. Great quality results; the print feels like it'll last for a long time.

INCREDIBLE! This company really cares. My son's teacher has cancer and despite QRST being limited to 5+ items they took on embroidering a single tote, communicated effortlessly, accelerated the timing so she got it quickly and then get this.. DIDN'T CHARGE US ANYTHING. They wanted to be a part of this special gift. We are so grateful to them. This is a company that have a big heart and is worth supporting.

I've been using QRST's for years (both personally and professionally), and their products never disappoint. Reasonable prices, great t-shirt styles/colors, and speedy turnaround times - hard to beat. On top of that, their excellent customer service is really the icing on the cake. I'm so happy to support this Somerville company - I'll definitely be back for more. :) THANK YOU QRST's for hitting it out of the park every time!

Peter and the QRST's team was amazing to work with. I had an inking of idea for a shirt and Peter was super helpful on the phone and email to give me thoughts on shirt color given my design and giving tentative quotes. Also, Peter suggested I screen print the front and digitally print the sleeve to minimize costs, an option I didn't know could happen! I I was able to pick up a subset of the shirts and QRST's shipped out the rest. I was so appreciative of the great customer service from start to end. When I emailed an update to those getting shirts, I had to shout out QRST's

Our architectural office have ordered many different t-shirts, sweatshirts, and bags from QRST's and have always been very satisfied with our orders. Peter is always exceptionally helpful and efficient when designing and pricing the orders with me. Additionally all the items we have gotten are high quality and the screen printing of the logo is fantastic and crisp. The office's communication and service is outstanding and so appreciated. We plan to continue to work with the fantastic QRST's Custom Printing.

Great service, communication, quality and turn around time! Everything from my first contact with QRST was outstanding. Had some fairly detailed graphic to be printed on blank tees and the color, detail, sharpness and quality was fantastic. Would highly recommend and they will be at the top of my list when I need a printer again!!

I am so appreciative of QRST for their high-quality work and amazing customer service! I got a set of Patagonias embroidered here and was having trouble deciding what color thread to use. Peter and his team worked with me throughout the decision and even made sample embroidered logos for me to put over the Patagonias so that I could really envision what the finished product would look like. They were also very quick and responsive with questions via email or phone throughout the entire process! The QRST team really cares about what they do and works hard to make sure the finished work matches the

I'm so thankful for QRST! I called them with a random request to print something on a single shirt I would bring in and they assured me I'd be able to do it! I used their online design website and it was super easy. And it was done 3 days earlier than expected! It looks great and now I have the perfect gift for my dad for Christmas! They're wonderful and the price was super affordable. I can't recommend them enough! And on top of that, they sit on top of Taza chocolate factory so you get all the good smells as you walk in

They did a fantastic job for our fraternity formal sweatshirts. ~5 min response times on email and it was easy working with them to make sure print came out exactly how we wanted it. Cheaper than other options we looked at too

Peter and his team are as good as it gets.
From start to finish they were kind and professional.
They went above and beyond to get me exactly what I wanted for my business's shirts.
They're prices are pretty competitive with most of the online printing services too. Support someone local who actually cares.

Just picked up a rush order for my wife's Lego Robotics team (which is in its first competition tomorrow). A real rush job - she got the graphics to them this morning, we had the shirts at noon - two hours earlier than promised. Perfect! (Normally, we wouldn't look for this kind of turnaround. They went the extra mile, and very friendly about it.)

My wife has been doing business with them for years, always happy with their work. This was my first time meeting the folks. Definitely recommend.

FYI: In a very cool building in Somerville - lots of other cool small, and not so small

This is our third year working with QRST's to get a big batch of t-shirts for an annual event that we run. The pricing is great, there is absolutely no compromise in the graphics, and the shirts are always ready weeks before we expect them to be!

Will definitely be back next year!

I consistently order from QRSTs for tshirts needed for an organization I am a member of at university. They consistently look beautiful, last long, and are finished in a timely manner. After years of ordering from Custom Ink, I was very impressed with the prompt ordering process, very reasonable prices, and quick turnaround.

I do wish their emails/invoice had a sort of picture of your apparel with the design on it - which might beat some of the miscommunications in the other reviews. That being said, as long as you're reading your invoice over carefully then you should be all set.
