I first went into the shop to have some small mailing-postcards and envelopes printed. It took over 4 weeks to complete! I submitted my order online and asked please let me know a quote and when my items can be expected to be completed. I did receive a quote but no time-frame, so I assumed I would refollow-up in a week. After trying to follow-up - 4 WEEKS LATER - I was told they were completed! Wow - long time for a simple black and white job - but thought maybe it was just a busy season, whatever. Price seemed ok-ish, so thought I'd give another shot. Second time, I go back HUGE MISTAKE - I submitted my order which is for an event (as in it has a deadline when it needs to be mailed!# and 4 WEEKS LATER I am told me ORDER WAS LOST!!!!! And can I please re-submit everything, and they will bump it up yadda yadda. A week later #going on WEEK 6# still NO ORDER!!! The shop never offered any discount, or follow-up except once. My suggestion to the shop: GET ORGANIZED! As a business you are supposed to be a professional at your service/product - that means keeping track of orders, customer service, follow-up, etc. NONE of this was received. No wonder people choose to drive 10 miles out of the way to go a Staples or Office Max - at least they don't lose orders!!!! Unless you have time to WASTE, and essentially don't care if your order doesn't get done ever - DO NOT GO HERE! I would like to say that I gave this shop multiple opportunities to rectify their actions #or lack of) prior to posting this! I prefer to use small business shops whenever possible because I like to support families and my local community - however, now I can understand why so many small business fold, and especially during the recent economic issues customers cannot afford to have their TIME WASTED! This is exactly what happened to me! ...read more

RNK GLOBAL SOLUTIONS welcomes our new friend JJ BLINKERS to our circle of MC friends. It's great to be associated with a top-notch company such as yours. A few years ago when my husband "retired" from corporate America, I rented Renaissance costumes to walk him off the job in style. You had exactly what I was looking for (which went perfectly with the Excalibur limo I rented, too)! Your staff was great in helping me find exactly what I was looking for in a chainmail suit and my husband was really surprised when 10 of his close friends and family & I showed up at his work place to walk him off the job in style. Thanks for being a part of that amazing event! We highly recommend JJ BLINKERS to all our clients, business partners, friends and family. ...read more
