      Branding Review from Lindsey Lupow

      A Game-Changing Experience with ChrisRubinCreativ (CRC) From the moment we met Chris and the CRC team, we knew we were in the hands of professionals who truly understood the art and science of branding. Chris's passion for driving growth for small and medium-sized businesses is evident in every interaction. His deep understanding of brand strategy and messaging, combined with his personal touch, made the entire process feel collaborative and tailored to our unique needs. The Brand Playbook CRC delivered was nothing short of exceptional. It wasn't just a document; it was a comprehensive guide that captured the essence of our brand, resonating with our target audience's needs and interests. Every page was a testament to CRC's meticulous process and dedication to authenticity. Working with Chris was a masterclass in branding. His approach is both analytical and creative, ensuring that every decision is backed by data and sharply insightful. In conclusion, if you're looking for a branding agency that combines craft, process, and experience to deliver unparalleled results, look no further than CRC. I am immensely proud of the work we accomplished together and cannot recommend them highly enough. Our brand has never been stronger, and we owe a significant part of that success to Chris and his exceptional team.

      Software Development Review from Vladyslav Sorochan

      A true tech partner who just gets it! Aqe has brought our rough software concept to life and turned it into a smart platform. The project covered everything from custom development to AI features and some pretty advanced data engineering. From the beginning, their team really took the time to understand what we were trying to achieve. They started with a clear discovery phase and built a solution that checked all the boxes in terms of functionality and ease of use. It is easy to work with their team, not only in terms of technical skills but also in how responsive and collaborative they are. They regularly improved features based on our feedback as we moved along and were always available when we needed support, even after the post-launch. Having that kind of ongoing help made a big difference. The results were a bit better than we expected. We saw a noticeable drop in manual work, smoother internal operations, and improved decision-making through real-time data. Overall, Aqe and their team really delivered what they promised, on time and within our budget. The whole experience was smooth, professional, and well-managed. Wed happily recommend working with them.

      Nick Armstrong's Review Sourced from Google

      Terrible Customer Service! Completely unprofessional and unhelpful. My four businesses have been going here for over 10 years at this point. Something must have changed in the last year or so because they do not do a good job and don't care about you as a loyal customer and refuse to help you. Their shipping has failed multiple times, and when you ask for help, they either have no answers or can't do anything. I spoke with a manager, he promised to follow up and never did. He told me he’d send a email and update me, that never happened. On top of that, he raised his voice at me, which was totally out of line. There are far better options out there. We found a company that did the same job for nearly $100 less, with free shipping. We got it rushed too! And was still cheaper! Avoid this place if you value your time, events, and money. And if their shipping messes up, good luck getting help from Got Print, they will do absolutely NOTHING to help you out. To them that’s just not their responsibility. They ruined a part of our event for their incompetence when I did everything I was supposed to do ordering. And even if shipping messed up, you still have a responsibility to help. I’m sure I’ll get some boiler plate response from them because I’m sure they’re too lazy to even do proper customer service. I’m not gonna call you back, you’ve lost my businesses and all my friends businesses.

      I was hesitant with all the terrible reviews I read, but I needed a foam board for a bridal shower welcome sign and Got Print was half the price from staples AND it was printed double sided which I needed since I’m hanging it from a rack that will see it on both sides. I also was close enough to Burbank where I could pick up and avoid the delivery chaos. So I figured I’d roll the dice. Staples was charging double and only single sided. This came out perfect!! Photos show my digital design and then the final product. Just what I needed. Thank you Got Print! I ordered at 8:50pm on July 1st and this was ready for pick up at 12pm on July 3rd. So fast (I did pay a few bucks more for rush production and for the drilled holes on top to hang with ribbon) but total was $42. Will be using again!

      Update: I previously gave this company a 4 star, but I'm altering it to a 1 star. 14 days (9 business days) after placing an order, my materials are still "in production". No communication. It's undependable at this point and I'll no longer be using this company. ////// I've used this company a few times now for business cards and appreciate their speed. The consistency of the cuts could be better, but I don't have a large sample size to compare the quality of their cuts vs other companies... maybe it's as good as it gets. I have to knock off one star because of the shipping cost. For 600 business cards, their cheapest shipping option was over $19...
