Ratings

Value - 5/5

Deluxe is an experienced small business service company that offers quality custom printed promotional products at a very reasonable price. They have wide product offerings, design assistance, a large graphics library, and a user-friendly design tool. Price can vary based on the printing method, particularly on screen printed items like t-shirts. Those using 1-color screen printing will get the best value, while 4-color printing can raise t-shirt prices above some competitors.  

Customer Service - 4/5

Customer service is responsive and helpful. They are available by phone, chat, or email during regular business hours and offer fast responses to customer needs. They do not offer evening or weekend customer service support.

Ease of Use - 5/5

Both their website and design features are very user-friendly. Their site makes it easy to navigate directly to the products and services you need. Their design tool is intuitive, and their pricing is easy to locate. The only downside is that we were not able to see shipping costs without creating an account and entering payment information.

Included Features - 4/5

Deluxe offers a solid design tool with a good number of fonts and images to use in creating your design. Business owners can seek out additional design support by submitting their ideas via the website or speaking with a customer service representative during business hours. Their bundled packages are a great value and make designing and ordering multiple products a breeze.

Conclusion

Deluxe offers a large selection of promotional products suitable for small businesses. This makes them a great choice for businesses looking for low-cost products that can be ordered in bulk.

Because Deluxe has some of the highest minimum ordering requirements we’ve come across, this may not be the best option for businesses looking to make smaller orders. While Deluxe does offer moderate design support, you may consider an alternative option if you’re looking for more personalized assistance with your design or a larger variety of design options.
