I personally love the designs for Heroes, these will definitely be presents for my husband in the near future. The I Love a Man in Uniform (my daddy) category has some unique and lovely designs for boys and girls.
Different items and sizes available include:
- Women, Men, Juniors, Youth, Babies, Toddler and even Maternity Shirts
- Gifts, Stuffed Animals, Underwear, Vinyl Decals, Signs and Banners
Design – The design, color scheme and layout of the website is very appealing and easy to navigate. It is easy to find the category you want and the types of items that are available. I would like to see some slide shows of the different designs under each category. It would make it easy to glimpse what is offered on the home page.
Focus – The website is clearly targeted to a military and military supporters audience. It is military friendly and has a some great designs, some unique ones as well as the standard branch seals.
Fundamentals – The categories are organized efficiently, the drop down menus are easy to find and help you select your items in a simple way. It is extremely simple to customize your order and they even make it a no brainer to put a design on the back and front of an item.
Qualifications/Credentials – I love that at the bottom of every page is clearly shown the payments accepted, how to contact the company and their policies. Easy to find, no hidden clauses.
Browser Capability and Resolution – I viewed the website on my PC, my laptop, my iPhone and my iPad and it worked beautifully on each device. This is not always true so this was a happy surprise.
Products– For the review, I ordered a pink toddler dress in size 4t with the Army Princess design. It arrived just as pictured and was absolutely adorable. The dress was immediately declared a favorite by both my 2&5 year olds. It works as a dress for my 2 year olds and a long shirt for my 5 year old. The design held up well to the laundry cycle, came out perfect. I also placed a custom personal order. I ordered a natural tote bag with 2 of my business logos. One on each side of the bag. I also ordered a pink child’s T-shirt with “Daddy’s little Soldier” and my daughter’s name. Originally, I ordered the T-shirt with red font, but the company contacted me to let me know that white font would “pop” and the red font did not work well with the pink T-shirt. I REALLY appreciated that. I had not thought about changing the font color and they were absolutely right. The white font looks GREAT!
Shipping and Packaging: Shipping was quick for both my review item and the items I personally ordered. Packaging was appropriate and all the items arrived in pristine condition. Each order came with an invoice that had a picture of each item and all of the order details. It was easy to understand and everything I might need was printed on one sheet.
Customer Service: They were fantastic. I was contacted about my personal order because the personal design I submitted was going to come out pixellated. I really appreciated it and even though I kept the order, it still came out looking ok. Thing is, I knew that it might be blurry because they let me know and it was my choice to go ahead and order. Some companies would let you go ahead with an order and you wouldn’t know it would be pixellated until it arrived at your house blurry. Bravo to Military Family Shirts.
Summary
I spent a lot of time and several sessions browsing this website, all of the available designs and the vast variety of items you can have them printed on. I loved the overall atmosphere, simplicity and ease of use. I even put in a personal order the same day I ordered the review item. I highly recommend the website, the products and the company. I will definitely be a repeat customer.
