“Highly Recommend!”
“First time using this supplier and WOW are we happy. We did a self-promo of their Tailgate Cornhole and their Fast Four game. They are beautiful and they arrived in under 2 weeks… to Canada! Ordering was very easy, uploading our very large artwork file was easy, and dealing with them has been a breeze. Jackie, the account manager, is helpful and great to deal with. Highly recommend.”
– A Satisfied Client
“Hidden Gem of a Supplier!”
“I am totally wowed by their customer service. Quick responses, patient artwork services, and much faster than quoted production. I don’t mean to sound arrogant, but it’s rare that a supplier treats us better than we treat our customers. I often have the thought, ‘wow…if I treated my customers this way….’ With this supplier, those same words are going through my head, but I’m thinking we need to step up our game. As I was getting impatient on our 8th round of artwork (we turned it over to them at round 5), they were kind and responsive and just got it done. Hidden gem of a supplier I had no idea existed. Thanks—well done.”
– A Happy Customer
“Fastest Shipping Ever!”
“This is THE supplier for cornhole boards!! Friendly, quick response, and received an art proof the same day. Shipping was FAST and I mean FAST. Received the order two days after placing it. From sending the artwork to customer receiving the product was 4 business days.”
