And you continue under another name - Not sure why you are so upset - we made and shipped you exactly what was ordered - yes we had a supply issue so the order was delayed a bit, I hope you never have any hiccups in your business & if you do may your customers be kinder than you are being to us - because it is not very nice to blast us on every format you can just because your order came a few days later than planned. You are intentionally trying to hurt our business that we have worked very hard to build for the last 20 years.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service. Impossible to contact by phone. you call their customer "service" number, are told you are next in line, wait 5 minutes on hold listening to crappy music, only to be told to leave a message. Fedex lost an my order and Lettering on the Cheap has been super slow to respond. Will never use them again.

You get what you pay for.. or you don't...

We had bit of trouble with the application because the letters weren't adhering but managed to get through it.. it was a large order, so had time to get used to work with what we had even though we've installed vinyl before. On the very last install, the vinyl fell while trying to heat it up and was ruined. Knowing that they had the "Goof-Proof" policy, I contacted customer service. Their shipping is 4-7 business day and being it fell on Memorial Day weekend, I knew it would take a bit longer. I was asked for the 1-2 day shipping and was charged $35 for in order to complete this before our deadline. Wondering why it's now been 4 business days besides the prep time, I called their "Customer Service" to be told that it wouldn't get here until the following Monday. Turns out he shipment still went Ground instead of 1-2 days like I was charged for is beyond me and was told to contact FedEx to see if they could do anything or to pick it up somewhere else and if I wanted it by the deadline, they would have to charge me another $35 to get it to me. I paid extra and still didn't get what I paid for. Then the rep said if I wanted to do it that way, she'd have to put a rush order but they would get frustrated that they would have to do it again, that their losing money by sending it out again, and that I'm still saving money even if I had to pay for it again.

I don't care about the cost, but I do care about what I paid for. If there was a remake fee and paying shipping, that's not a problem. But if I'm paying and expecting for something to get here in time and it doesn't, there's an issue. And I had to deal with poor customer service on top of it?

I work in customer service so I completely understand mishaps occur, however the expectation of customer service is to actually make an attempt to fix error. This was the first and last time we use this place.

Quality good, cost extremely high

I have no problem with the quality it was very good. Delivery was also good. I needed the letters and decals or I would have probably shopped a little better. To pay nearly $150 for 12 letters, 4 numbers and 1 small decal that took up only 4" x 1.5" No letter or number was over 3 inches high.

Overall very, very expensive but also very nice.

I've had great experiences until my last order. LetteringOnTheCheap admitted they messed up on my order...twice. This delayed my order by two weeks. When I asked them if they could ship my corrected job faster I was told that they can't because my job was only a $30 order and it would cost them $20 to 2nd-day ship it. Unfortunately, I'll be taking my future orders elsewhere, where they value customer loyalty. They lost my business over $20. Sad, just sad.

Great experience

Great experience! I have never purchased custom vinyl before and I happened to stumble across their page via Google.
I ordered 2 vinyl images for my food truck. The company helped set up the design and they were shipped quickly. I installed 1 logo in under 10 minutes by myself. Super simple!
Will order from again!

Customer service was spot on

Customer service was spot on, proactive and really supportive.
The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is that I did have some trouble installing my vinyl door lettering, which seemed to be stemming from the lettering itself. I order white outside vinyl letters for 6 business on one front door, so lots of info all on one sheet. I did cut the info into blocks once I had the whole sheet lined up and taped to the door for ease of handling. The problem was that the letters either weren't adhering to the clear film or once I got them onto the clear film some wouldn't adhere to the clean window even though I followed directions to the letter. I'm not sure what was up and it took a ridiculous amount of time to get door done, but now it's up (as of today) and I'll check it tomorrow to be sure the letters stayed put. Now the last two sections went on very well and with out a hiccup so I'm not sure what was going on for the other 4. Over all though, that aside, the company's turnaround and support are stellar!

Applying decals to glass is a little tricky. My best tip would be to get it applied where you like, squeegee it well & then leave the masking (application) tape on it overnight. This gives the pressure sensitive adhesive time to activate & allows any moisture to dry -making it MUCH easier to pull off the masking (application) tape without the vinyl lettering coming up with it.

Trustworthy and efficient

Trustworthy and efficient, LOTC always delivers on time. The staff is knowledgeable and always willing to help those of us with less than stellar skills in the appropriate apps. Thanks so much. I will continue to trust my wall lettering to Lettering On The Cheap

Great product!

Really looks nice and was easy to put up. Look up directions online on how to apply them. The directions that come with it leave out a very important part.
Mine was almost ten feet long and looks very professional!

Thank you for your kind words. Do you mind me asking what part was left out of the mailer instructions so we may fix it for future orders?
