B-Bam!

HIGH QUALITY, friendly, unique — Client for life!

B-​Bam is great. They only so bulk orders now, but I will definitely use them if my company needs to get something done!
Their new location on Westlake is awesome, and there’s plenty of free parking.
They even print on chop sticks. Just sayin’.

Terrible customer service. After the company came highly recommended from some friends I guess I expected a decent level of service. But I got no response from repeated emails, then after a month got a big quote. When I asked about the details of the pricing and offered a competitor’s quote (as it asks for in the quote paperwork’s heading) I received no response for 2 months. After calling repeatedly (no answering machine?) and emails asking for any response I have given up. Plus this was a commercial order for my workplace, not a handful of tees but almost 100 units. You are bad at business.

I had an initial series of issues with the company which were completely resolved by Leslie.

Definitely my favorite place for custom t-​shirts. I ordered a pretty ridiculous shirt using there online shirt creator at
. and it turned out amazing, the quality is much better than the one I ordered at cafepress last year, plus I called them and I talked to a REAL PERSON!!! Thats hard to find these days; the girl was super helpful and walked me through the printing process and everything.
They mentioned they do bulk wholesale orders as well… maybe next time :)

Once upon a time, a year ago to be more precise, I imagined up a fun shirt for a sports team that I led, and I had it printed in Boston (when I lived there). That company, Rainbow Visions, did a spectacular job if you’re ever in the neighborhood!
Anyways, this year, upon moving to Seattle, we wanted to stay local with the printing and try out B-​Bam! for a slightly different style to the original design that I created. Unfortunately, their online services weren’t up to snuff, and even with an email with the specifications, they insisted the wrong person received the email and the designer didn’t know of the specs, so needless to say, the printing didn’t align with what we had asked for. This is not to mention a mishap where half the order had images flipped backwards, and the manager’s response was to offer a $ 3.50 refund per shirt to those that had images flipped backward only.
$ 3.50 doesn’t cover needing to get the printing redone with a new company where we will have to begin the process all over. I thought it was an unreasonable response to our situation, due to their mistakes.
I would also recommend
. From what I’ve been seeing, they are much more adept at handling the details of printing. Perhaps B-​Bam! would be better if you wanted more artist influence and less personal control in your result. Unfortunately, I knew what I wanted and the results were a big let down.
Also they were tough to work with. The manager began to get too emotional with our correspondence and it was all downhill from there. I hope, if you go with them, that all goes well for you — for your sake! Yikes!

Their sidewalk sale was awesome. $ 5 tees and iron ons rock. Find them online!

B bam is amazing! I needed custom shorts for a roller derby bout and they were able to help me right away, without any delay! The staff was super cool, helpful and suggested the perfect fonts and colors. Other custom places require a minimum of 25 shirts or something, BBam allows you to get exactly what you need, when you need it! The location is great too, very central! Loved it!

I submitted a quote and design online but I didn’t receive a response so I stopped by the store in person. Don’t expect great customer service or engaged staff.
The staff took a look at my Adobe Illustrator file and said the work was too complicated for their capabilities (which was fine), but they were unable to provide me with a referral elsewhere or any suggestions of how to make it fit their parameters.

I think anything you do is hit or miss really. But I brought in an order to have 3 shirts done to B Bam awhile back and the lady behind the counter seemed helpful enough. Wasnt the most friendly but whatever, everyone has a bad day right? She told me the order would be done in a day and I ended up going a day later to pick up the shirts. Not only did she not have the shirts done but was working on them the moment I walked in. (Mind you a day later then when she said she would have them.) She seemed put off that I mentioned that the order was supposed to be done the day before which set me off. She had some excuse how she tried to get the order done on time but just couldnt do it. If they cant handle an order of 3 shirts in a day that says a lot about a business.

They are awesome, they make all my bags, buttons, stickers and marketing goodies. Always on the ball. The owner was honest and up front about what would look good and gave me several options so I could stay mindful of the cost. I love that they work with local non-​profits and are community minded and the staff is always awesome. They are super patient with my last minute orders and endless questions. They get an A+ in my book and I recommend them to everyone.

I came to B-​Bam for a custom made Donnie Wahlberg t-​shirt for my wife. Dont ask, just read… the fella at the front desk, was very nice with how the lettering should be, where to place it on the shirt, ect.
So i had this ordered about dec 10^th or so… well the snowstorm came, i had to work alot, and i could never get up to the hill to get the shirt in a timely manner. So I called. and they would hold it, whenever i showed up, even if it was feb 2009.
So nice job B-​Bam

I heart these guys. I have made a few shirts with them and they turn out GENIUS every time. They are kinda expensive but pretty worth it and they’re usually only expensive because I always have to put a rush order charge on it. The online tool has gotten better too which is nice. I went up there last time to make my shirt and I think I would have done better online. But talking to the artiste can never be a bad plan.
My last one said «CHICKEN ATTACK! CHICKEN ATTACK!» You know you want one, but no, I have the only one!

I want SO much to love B-​Bam. I mean, your wildest dream T-​shirt can be made, gifted and worn. Sadly, though, it’s not as idyllic as you’d think. Printable clothing selection is decent. Pre-​existing decal and design selection is decent. They have some flocking and foil options, so that’s exciting. If you’re customizing something, though: 1) expect little guidance (beyond «use the online tool», which happens to be pretty inexact); 2) make sure your illustrations/​image sizes are exactly the desired specs (they don’t really proportion, even if the tool makes you think they do); and 3) if things don’t come out as you’d expected, oh well. I can’t pinpoint why the process left me so disappointed, but it did.

bad experience! Tried to make a shirt for my business and I am being nice when I say I will never go there again. I was not a happy customer :(((((

«I Survived Garfield High 2004» tee shirts, complete with a freak out pic of my son — the hit of graduation. My family «World Tour» shirts same. Last week I did a rush job for my brother’s birthday, amazing work. I like working with the folks, gave decent advice, got the job done. Little attitude? Didn’t see it. I’ll be back for more.

B-​Bam is super cool! I posted a review on my website here
but I will give you a gist. Their website is neat and they can basically put anything you want on a t-​shirt. They also have a set of decals you can use, and you can place it wherever you want on the shirt, not just in the middle like cafepress or something. I’ve never been to their brick and mortar store, but the website is top notch.

Think of a t-​shirt, any t-​shirt, they can make it!
It’s kind of like a Cold Stone Creamery for t-​shirts. Start with a basic tee, you choose the color, figure out if you want a pretty picture, or a few letters on there, tell the good folks behind the counter what you have in mind and they will hand over your creation — no matter how disgusting they may find it.
This is one of those stores that makes you proud to be an American. America is all about choice, freedom of speech on any t-​shirt, and bad ice cream.

If you are in quick need of a custom t-​shirt, this is the best place to go. They can letter pretty much anything you’d want on a tee, while you wait. There are also many other designs available, or you can design your own.
I wandered in here one day a few years ago, with no clue how it worked, and the staff was very helpful. They told me the pricing, showed me the lettering fonts, pictures, etc, and answered all my inane questions. I selected a shirt and within ten minutes, had my tee in my hands, ready to go.
The only downsides are the selection: they don’t have a lot to offer when it comes to shirts. You might find a style you really like, but then find they don’t have your size. You can bring in your own shirts, but there is a fee for doing so (I think it is $ 7.50), plus there is still the cost of having a design placed on it. If you absolutely need a certain type of shirt, in a certain size, it might be safer to bring your own and foot the fee.
On the plus side, the first shirt they ever did for me, is still in good condition. The lettering hasn’t peeled (be sure to follow their care instructions) and I still wear it frequently.

Other than being completely ignored by the guy working there (maybe just a bad day, I don’t know?) they had an okay selection of iron on decals for custom t-​shirts. If the service was a little bit better, it’d be a place I’d want to go back to but I think I’d rather just stick to
or any of the other multitudes of online tee shops.
