Came with no receipt or return information. Called the number online to be told after 30 minutes that they were busy and I should try again later. DO NOt buy from them. The shirt I received wasn't worth $2

Scammed with artwork
February 26, 2021

Ordered a final fantasy tactics piece that looked amazing - when i received it the item was clearly printed off of a computer printer in the lowest quality possible.

Unbelievably frustrated that I got scammed. Very concerned about having my CC info stolen.

The worst
September 2, 2019

Do not purchase from this company. I received a shirt that wouldn't fit a toddler, asked for the next size up, they send the same size over again, don't believe they did that, treat the customer like some kind of lying thief and then ignore requests to deal with the situation. Unbelievably horrible customer service. Would never deal with these scumbags again. Calling credit card company today because they refuse to refund for their continued errors. Nightmare.

Ordered several items online. Took 6 weeks to process my order. When I receive the items, items received were not what I ordered. Received 2 shirts of the same kind, missing one of what I ordered. Still missing another that still has not even shipped. I have sent numerous emails with no response. I have called their customer service phone number, but get an automated answer, can't even leave a message. Worst company, with really bad customer service. My suggestion is to don't buy from this company or any that is affiliated with them.

Flat out LIES
June 18, 2020

I ordered through a sub company called Rockingthetees.com. Like many of what everyone said, quick to put in processing so no refunds. No one answers phone calls, emails are met with automatic replies and when you give the detailed info to the reply guess what, its the same auto reply. I have contacted my CC company and called spam on FB to have them removed.

Awful
June 19, 2020

Same as everyone else. I wish I would have read these reviews before I ordered. This company has been awful. I placed an order, they charged my card right away. One month now and still have not received the item. Shipping said 5-10 days. Then said due to Corona virus please allow the full ten days. Well it's been over 30. I get automated responses on emails and lots of corona virus excuses (which we all know the shipping has only been slightly delayed during this time, nothing like over a month) When I call they said again due to corona they aren't taking calls (why can't you receive phone calls during the virus?) I have requested a refund and cancelled my order. Very unprofessional, unethical, dishonest company. DO NOT ORDER from them.

This company has stolen my artwork multiple times. They never remove it once I email them. They are a horrible company who tries to profit from stealing copyrighted images from struggling artists. I am extremely close to suing them for this.

Do not order from them.
January 17, 2022

Placed order of over $100. Paid extra to have it rushed and delivered by 1/11/22. Here it is 1/17/22 and I still don't have my order. Tried to cancel and was told couldn't do that. Then ironically, my order was allegedly shipped on 1/14 and won't be delivered until 1/24. I asked for a refund of my shipping charges and was told "no". Poor customer service. I will never order from them again and I will not be letting this go. Consumers beware!

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we’re sorry your order hasn’t been delivered. Your order has already shipped and our customer service has provided the tracking number, but please note that all products are printed to order, so we don’t have items in stock. Rush printing sends your order into printing faster than the rest of the orders, but it doesn’t guarantee a delivery date. We’re unable to guarantee a delivery date because we depend on many factors such as how local post offices operate and something that is beyond our control, severe weather, which was the cause of the delay in the delivery of your order.

We will be glad to refund the rush printing fee of your order. I’ll contact you directly by email.

Best,
Lourdes

I placed an order that was suppose to be delivered almost a month ago, I called number and it does not give me the option to speak with anyone or to leave a message. I have emailed with no response very disappointed. Will never order from this site. I even paid extra for earlier delivery and we are way passed the estimated deliver even if I had no pd for an earlier date. I will give them another week and will report to BBB if I have not received order.

Hello Diane,

Thank you for your message and we’re sorry to hear that you received the wrong item.

When these things happen, we ask customers to send a picture of the item received. Our production team requires visual verification of any issues reported by customers. Because we want to save buyers the trouble and expense of a return, all we request is a photo in order to process a correct replacement at no extra cost immediately.

Our customer service agents have replied to your emails three times since December 14 requesting an image of the item you received but unfortunately we haven’t heard from you. It could be that our replies are on your spam folder. We’ll be glad to send you the correct item, so the next step here is to send the image requested. Please reply to our email or send a new one at hello@gearlaunch.com, and I’ll be glad to process the replacement for you.

Best,
GearLaunch

Where's my expedited item?
February 2, 2023

Called and they said that they are closed for the "holiday". It's Feb 2nd...when did groundhog day become a holiday? Should have gotten my delivery by Jan 30th which was close to when I needed it and paid extra fees to get it. My son's birthday came and went and I'm mom with no present. $37. For a tee shirt is really high imo. I wish I had checked these reviews first, reviews I've seen are all negative. I am posting this to the Redskins group where this business popped up, and to my Google Guide review account. Scammers at worst, a business that should not exist at best!

This company does not have enough checks in place to make sure stores and products are legit. Scammers are stealing logos from small business and clubs and creating shops that are only up for a 1-3days, then posting the links on our facebook page trying to get our fans to buy the products. As fast as we can delete them, and ban the person who posted it, another one is created via the GearLaunch platform under a different URL. By then, the store is over, scammers made their money and the "legal team" doesn't care.

Thank you for contacting us and we apologize for the issue with your order.

One of our Customer Service agents replied to your email you on December 12th and provided you with the tracking number. Unfortunately, because of the holiday season and some other factors out of our control, there can be delays in the shipping and delivering of packages.

Run don't walk
August 3, 2022

Ordered a T-shirt that was supposed to be endorsed by a member of my veterans group (found out later he knew nothing about the item) when I ordered the t-shirt I choose the least expensive shipping. When I paid for the item it charged me over $10 for shipping. Also I have never received a confirmation number and when I sent a email to there customer support it bounced as non-existented. I contacted two of there listed numbers only to get a message of "Goodbye " and it hangs up.
Folks this company is a fraud if every there was one.

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your message. Your order was placed on July 31 and you should’ve received a confirmation email with your order information. If you didn’t get one, please check your spam folder in case the email got sorted incorrectly.

Orders have several shipping options; when you placed your order you selected the “rush production” option, which expedites the printing of your order and that has an additional cost.

We're sorry you weren't able to contact us by phone. Chat is also available on the site you purchased from so that's another way to get in touch with us. We received your email earlier today with your concern and we’d like to let you know that your order has already shipped; we’ll reply to your message with the tracking information. If you have any more questions or concerns, please reply to our message and we’ll be glad to assist you.

Best,
GearLaunch

Scammers
December 14, 2022

I haven't received a shirt yet however I paid for one from the rescue that I got my Fur baby from and then I come to find out that gear launch took it upon themselves to make the T shirts, send it out as though it was coming from the research and telling me how there's only one day left to order. Nothing is going to the rescue and the rescue had nothing to do with promoting them using their logo.
