Report
I had an excellent experience with the team at tastex. I wanted to get some embroidery done as a gift for my girlfriend but I don't live in the same state. They were very helpful and let me send it to them in the mail and even gift wrapped it afterwards. It was really top notch work too. No complaints about their service at all. Was cheap as well. Will definitely be going back next time I need some work done. Thanks
