  Testimonials
  "I am very satisfied with my purchase.  The stitching is top notch.  Good selection of Hanes t-shirts, nice and solid.  Not like most of the paper thin material that's out there, even from top designers (especially them).  Customer service was also outstanding!  I was contacted immediately, by e-mail, after placing my order to ensure accuracy of my order.  For my particular order, I had some questions, and the responsiveness regarding my inquiries was also outstanding."

Leo Kahng, Vienna, VA
 
  "Normally I wouldn't get something for myself with my name on it, but I've always appreciated the art of Chinese character writing / calligraphy, and I loved this idea.  Looks great -- high quality stitching and beautiful thread color really stand out.  I plan on giving these shirts as gifts from now on!  Thanks!"

Mike Brown, Austin, TX
 
  "Easy ordering, fast delivery, great product!  Bought as a gift for my niece -- she loves it, especially the beautiful and 'cool' Chinese characters!  I particularly liked the multiple shipping options."

Karen Davis, McLean, VA
 
  "The packaging with the booklet is very nice.  I was surprised by the information and how much it conveyed about speaking Chinese and the Chinese language.  It's so personal and unique, a very intelligent gift!"

Roz Sarah
, Berkeley, CA
 
  "I used Building Characters to translate words and phrases for the U.S. Women's National Team Handbook for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China.  [...]  Some journalists asked if the book was designed in China using Chinese designers.  To me, that was the ultimate compliment.  The Hanzi characters that each player chose for her bio page also made wonderful points of discussion during press interviews.  Top rate!"  (See sample page from handbook archived here.)

Ron Logan, San Diego, CA
 
  "Just a quick note to let you know that I received my order yesterday!!  To say I'm impressed is a huge understatement.  3 working days [rush] delivery?  From the StatesWow!  Thanks very much for an incredible service."

Neil Tosh
, Aberdeen, UK
 
  "Thank you so much for the shirt -- it looks great!  I particularly liked the shipping e-mail -- in fact -- I liked it so much that I printed it out and gave it to the person who was the recipient of the shirt!  Nice to see that there are 'real' people behind a business logo.  Thanks again!"

Belinda
, Citrus Heights, CA
 
  "It sounds odd to pay $45 for a [special request] t-shirt.  I know it gave me pause.  The stitching on the shirt is very well done, and it's obviously a good quality base for the shirt itself.  So we're okay there.  What you're really paying for isn't the shirt, but the translation service involved in producing the characters on it. The folks at Building Characters made me feel very confident that they knew what they were doing, and that they cared that I got what I wanted, which may have been different that what I asked for."

Dave Hinman
, Portland, OR
 
  "Just to let you know, the shirts are fabulous!!  All of you completed the order and exceeded our expectations.  Your company is very customer oriented from the beginning of the process (when I sent my request) to the followup from your staff who researched the idea, to shirts of the highest quality and embroidery that was phenomenal.  Oh, and don't let me forget the extra care you provided in the handling and shipping of the shirts..  We [...] are truly delighted with the outcome and will definitely come to you again when we need a quality product produced.  We will also recommend you to everyone we know.  Thanks again!!!!"

Emily Barry, Warwick,

  "My embroidered tee from Building Characters has arrived.  [...]  I've had a big old grin on my face all day long."  (See full write-up archived here.)

Randall van der Woning, Hong Kong, PRC
 
  "I was extremely pleased with this company and their product.  The product is outstanding and the service is literally the best and most interactive I have ever experienced on the web.  Mei, in particular, was very pleasant and followed-up on every request.  This is virtually unheard of now-a-days.  The price was a little high, but not too bad considering the quality, quick turn-around and service.  We will definitely recommend this web-site to others and we will be back for future purchases.  They've done everything right.  Thanks!"

Scott Bazemore, Spring,
TX
 
  "Hi - I recently purchased a shirt from your company & received it yesterday.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!  It's so cool.  I've wanted to buy a t-shirt that has my horoscope sign in Chinese characters.  I've never seen what I was looking for in regular stores.  I found your website and was so excited about ordering from you.  LOOKS GREAT!  I plan on buying a shirt with my Chinese Zodiac symbol.  I've already recommend your company to friends.  Thanks."

Rebecca, Davison, MI
 
  "I recently ordered 2 shirts from your company.  I have to tell you, I love them.  One for myself, with my soon to be adopted daughter's name Shea and another shirt with Friendship.  They are wonderful.  I will be putting in another order probably in a few days.  Just wanted to say thank you so much for a wonderful product.  I haven't found anything like it!!!"

Chrissy, Hyannis, MA
 
  "Excellent company with an excellent product!!  I needed to change the size of the shirt I ordered after placing an order and it was no problem at all.  They were extremely friendly and helpful.  The quality of the shirt is very high and I'm quite pleased with the overall experience of shopping here."

Melinda Mauz, Billerica, MA
 
  "My purchase arrived quickly and the quality is excellent.  The company's communication is both clever and timely -- I highly recommend this site and their unique products."

Susan Seitzer, Dorado, Puerto Rico
