Brandon is really quick to reply when he's trying to get your business. It's a WAY different story once he has your money. DON'T give him your money before you get any product. It's been 3 months now and I only received 1/2 of my order (and it looks like crap). He's promised me at least two dozen times that he's return my money. Still hasn't happened. You've been warned.

Apex Ink Response • Aug 18, 2019

I appreciate the feed back, although I have been on vacation for my anniversary, birthday, and medical time to recover I am well aware of the loosely statements here submitted. Although mr *** texted emailed daily with threatening and degrading texts (which I have) DEMANDING certain criteria for myself and my business after receiving 2 delivery shipments (the 3rd only 2 images were created in photoshop in cmyk that could not be separated and printed) which dictate us to recreate the images into CORRECT FORMATS to be able to print at $150/hr
Mr *** went beyond harassing intent and threatening behavior
Mr *** also DEMANDED $700 refund which is not reasonable nor supported by any amount of garments rendered or not, mr *** can expect to receive a bill for the items and artwork at $150/hr for 3 hrs and a final invoice
I also have and will upload the contract which all customers revive and approve before any order is taken and payment taken!!

I ordered shirts and business cards from Brandon *** directly, and paid half on May 29th and the rest of June 11th. With the experience of a previous order taking an extremly long time to get here I was going to pay half when we actually got the shirts, but he required it up front. It has been almost a month, and we have been ignored and lied to. We were told multiple different times that the shirts were sent out, or when the delivery day was "Expected" We are a 501(c)3 non profit that saves animals from death row, off the streets, and bad situations. We have vet bills we are trying to pay, and we are trying to do a fundraiser with the tshirts. We are now out $229. We have not heard anything from him or the business since the weekend of the 22nd.

Apex Ink Response • Jul 12, 2019

customer has ordered 1 time in past and never had issues, in deliver ink rank and heat effected the curation of 320so we up their shirts from the cheap gildan shirts to the anvil shirts which were around $1.72 more. this order as we didn't charge art fees or screen fees, taxes, or delivery, we stated the art and printed the shirts and found out the actual supplied by customer was in fact from another website created by another artist and print shop, whether it was ***, ruby red, good, etc. This is direct violation of terms and conditions and agreement as we take full responsibility for everything we print and can be held liable for any trademark infringement or copy right laws, and intellectual property theft. Also another member of this organization reached out to us and we responded to her with the exact information provided here. Haven't received any word back, I even tried to call Ms. Fultz with no answer and multiple times while the order was half paid I needed to contact her on the art work and I got texts back saying "can't answer". "in class". "at vet". etc. So we reached to the customer numerous times. the few times she is referring to was on a weekend which we are closed, and we were attending a wedding party in Wisconsin. We do not take or receive business calls on weekends for a reason, it is our time off.

This order is complete but we need new artwork to be able to produce and release shirts to customer

I honestly wish I could give 0 stars. Brandon took our money and ran after us waiting for over 2 months to get my husband's product. No refund. Bad Conduct has left every single email and message sent via *** messenger on read. No response to anything. *** can not even reach them to give us a refund of our money. We needed these shirts for my husband's business but this "company" is now in the wind with several hundred dollars of money they essentially stole from us.

Apex Ink Response • May 22, 2019

Well I appreciate your response and sticking up for your husband, although you say pay pal can't get ahold of me, I submitted my claim against the original bc it was a digital file (artwork) WHICH BY THE WAY WAS SENT AND I HAVE EMAIL VERIFICATION FOR IT. 1 in particular is a spartan that is very detailed, so I can bill you all at the $150/hr we charge for artwork with so far 6 hrs totaling an amount of $900. I cut your husband a break at $100

ABSOLUTELY NO NO NO NO NO SHIRTS WERE ORDERED AT ALL!!!! I HAVE THE CALENDAR AND OUR SOFTWARE FOR THE ACTUAL ORDER IT WAS A DESIGN WHICH ACTUALLY ENDED BEING 5. ALSO HE DIDNT TELL YOU I OFFERED TO START A GO FUND ME FOR YOU ALL AND DONATE ONE OF MY LAPTOPS TO YOU.

YOU DIDNT EVEN ORDER SO THIS REVIEW IS OBSOLETE THE FILES WERE SENT AND THE FINAL SPARTAN IS BEING WORKED ON, BUT I WILL BILL YOU ALL FOR THE FINAL ARTWORK

I ordered 50 shirts for my band, ***, which was verbally agreed upon during a face to face meeting with Brandon *** on 25 March. We agreed on a 60% deposit and the rest to be paid on the date of pick up, which was determined to be on or before 19 April. On both 18 and 19 April, I desperately messaged and called Brandon trying to get my items. I got zero response. I had given a $250 deposit, for which I was never given a receipt (which I was told would be emailed to me). The show I needed the shirts for came and went without the merchandise. I tried again to call Bad Conduct Screen Printing and have been ignored.

To Who It May Concern,

My name is Christopher ***, and after a huge misunderstanding between myself and Bad Conduct Screen Printing, I registered the subject listed complaint. The issue has been resolved, the company has been very professional in dealing with me since the dispute, and I ask that the case be dropped/closed as it has been satisfactorily handled. Please contact me at with any questions or concerns at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Christopher

the greatest print shop we have had the honor or doing business with. They absolutely have the highest quality for our apparel line, and the feedback from customers is nothing but positive. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking for printing, decals, business cards, etc. Thank you for all the hard work!

Apex Ink Response • Mar 29, 2019

Thank you again for your business and the review. I’m glad you have seen us grow from a 1 man show to a multi employee business within a short time. Your orders matter With our business and goals!! Thank you again

The absolute best print shop around Chicago!They have the best prices, highest quality of prints, awesome shirts that they provide and print on and the precision they have is unmatched. I know the Revdex.com and Yelp are outlets for people that are mad that want to spread their cancerous poison to other people but businesses don't set out to hurt anyone, and BC definitely isn't one of those places. I have received nothing but respect and the best by the owner and everyone affiliated with them! Thank you for everything

Apex Ink Response • Mar 05, 2019

Thank you sir, we are please to do business with people such as yourself and to fulfill any job that you may want or need. Please spread the word, and we greatly appreciated all the support!!!

Thank you so much for the shirts and apparel!!! The shirts you printed on were fantastic! Anvil is so much better than the cheaper shirts all the other printers talked us into getting. The ink didn't hold, it cracked and peeled away, thank you for educating us on the material of shirts, and the better blends and how the ink sets better with higher quality shirts. For .50 cents more our product was night and day!! Thank you Bad Conduct you guys are awesome, and the most knowledgeable printers we have dealt with.

Dont give them your money up front. You pay for materials for that seem to never show up but the money is gone. Some type of magic trick I guess. Then he sends fake refund information that never shows up. From being patient with this liar and trying to just break even and fix the situation, what does this clown do? Starts lying again and dodging my calls. It's crazy reviews are popping up everywhere I thought it was just me. But please read all reviews on this so called screen printing place. Throw the whole business in the garbage. Bad reviews growing guess they have money problems! With everybody else money!

Bad Conduct Screen Printing will only enter into any contract or agreement with person(s) who are permitted to do so. We will also only knowingly provide products or services to persons who can lawfully enter into and form contracts under applicable law.
*GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION: These Terms and Conditions/Policies and user agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law in force for the time being in North Chicago Illinois, United States of America.
We took 2 orders from Mr J none of which we charged him any fees to include pick up fees, screen fees, artwork fees, set up or toll/gas fees, 7 shirts were non available and couldn't be handled so a refund was then offered but after the negative reviews we are invoicing Mr. J for everything material, restocking fee, pick up fee, artwork of $50/hr, $15 per screen, and any other fees under our terms and conditions applicable by law. We are slow at times but it seems customers demand things like Mr. J showing up at my house in front honking his horn as if Im supposed to walk outside, contacting my personal number which is clearly unacceptable, if our business line isn't picked up email is acceptable not once have we received an email. So $10/shirt for 7 shirts is $70, we will be invoicing him for anything and everything we can and emailing him, also payment was made by someone other than Mayon J and in our order form it clearly states billing and payment must match person ordering, he used his wife's *** account as her name shows on the bill, so legally Mr. J has no right to leave any review. We will invoice the remaining amount and if need be send to collection agency.

Customer Response • Sep 14, 2018

This guy is funny! I'm just seeing this so I'm responding. You gave me your personal number because the other was a wifi only number. You told me to stop by anytime because this was ur job and u were always there. Honking is a lie but that's what u do best. I always called 1st! Only 21 out of 34 shirts isn't 7. Use a calculator guy. It's about the refunds that u never sent. Started at 200 then u claim u only had 158 now it 70. I dont care about the money dude. This is the fact u aren't good at business. Standing in front of the Marine flag telling lies and stealing people money. U keep bringing up my wife paypal?? Like u cant have more than one card connected! Like I cant show it came out my account. The more u say shows me exactly what u are!

awesome quality product prints on our company shirts!!! Can't be happier and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for custom printing. Rock on Bad Conduct

I hate to do this, but I've been given no-other alternative..
If I receive my FULL-REFUND or the 12 hats I ordered.
(At this point I think I deserve both).
1) I'll delete this review
2) Withdrawal my complaint with
*The ***.
***.
*The Revdex.com (Revdex.com).
*** (FTC).
3) Dismiss the lawsuit I'm currently creating with my lawyer.
(All over $162.97..... Brandon, this is about principle at this point).
As a business owner you don't treat customers this way.
You need to be direct and pay what's due.
This has turned into a complete and utter scam from my perspective.
I've been nothing but patient and forgiving during this entire process.
Brandon reached out to me. Being a former Marine as well...
I thought I could trust him. He's now proven me wrong time and again.
It was suppose to be a simple product with my brands logo. That's it.
The entire thing has been ME getting a hold of HIM.
Excuse, after excuse, after excuse, and now nothing at all.
A complete disaster and nothing but a headache from my point of view.
I purchased 12 hats on May 26th. Paid for them 100% in full.
Brandon told me I'd receive a mock up on June 2nd (Received Nothing).
Brandon told me the hats would be shipped June 6th (Received Nothing).
(With a 2-Day Ship I might add).
I was told it'd be a few more days, being a Veteran I trusted his word.
He called me on July 16th and was argumentative because I told him I wanted the hats or a refund.
He stated that he didn't want an ultimatum.
I told him I get that, but AS THE PAYING CUSTOMER
I'm either going to need the hats that I paid for or a full- refund.
He issued a refund through paypal, which was not approved.
It bounced back to him and I received nothing.
(I still have the email along with dates and all other documentation).
We talked a few days later via phone, he said he was overwhelmed with Father's Day and that he received the hats, he even showed them to me.
He ordered the wrong ones to be printed on.......
He said he would re-order and print on the correct ones.
I was given zero timeline.
By now its the 4th of July..
We spoke on the phone and I told him I really wanted the hats and that I thought we could create something great. I told him I'd give him one more shot and if nothing occurred again, I wanted my refund. Brandon agreed.
More excuses.... It's now July 17th
He asks for my email to make the return.
(Which he should already have).
NOTHING HAPPENS
Today is July 24th and I STILL received nothing.
Zero Hats and Zero Refund.
If you've read this entire thing.... and it's the year 2030....
I still haven't received anything.
Because on MY WORD (Which is very important to me).
If I get my full-refund OR the hats I ordered OR both.
I'll this whole thing even.
I'll dismiss everything I'm currently doing.
I'lll take down this review and end everything I stated above.
I don't get why you're *** me over Brandon.
I tried to help you grow your business and this is what I get.
Bad Conduct is a catchy name..
You fked over any Honor, Courage, and Commitment.
Completely unbelievable.
I will not answer any attempts for conversation. We're BEYOND past that.
If you're going to make this right... Man up and make it right.

We placed an order with this business in January for 3500.00 in printed garments we paid in full as per his terms, he has stalled and delayed and lied and we have yet to receive our merchandise. We have contacted the proper authorities in reference to thus issue, we have an extensive email chain regarding this order and the business owner has now stopped answering our calls. So basically he has stolen 3500.00 from us, all we would like is our money returned or our merchandise. We have tried to resolve this and the seller has been promising to send these items for the past three months, and always has excuses regarding. He has been rude, cursed and hung up on us when we simply would like this resolved. This has gone on long enough and we feel as though he is misrepresenting his abilities and we would like for others to avoid falling I to this trap .

I, Brandon ***, owner of Bad Conduct screen printing, run a 1 man shop for screen printing. A few months have passed from the initial order of mr *** and during that order towards the middle another more important order came about that mr *** and his associates felt was of the highest priority which put the 1st order on “pause”. After the 2nd order was finished and fulfilled with numerous shipments (14 to be exact) that order was completed 100%. The 1st order was then the focus with mr *** in which time I was physically unailable to print at that time, I talked to him numerous times and finally after reminding him of the terms and co fictions which were approved and “guesstimated” I finally got all items in his order printed and finished and as of now shipped to him. So as of the 18th his order has been closed out and nothing owed. He has been a repeat customer and unfortunately personal issues do and did arise.

Apex Ink Response • May 24, 2018

All you had to do Duane was read a little further and understand some items were out of stock or sizes, I didn’t postpone t any more, garments already ordered and when they are available heykk be handled like any other time.

Now for my “fixtitous shipping amount let’s play if u want, I’ve been at the JAG all morning and with the Revdex.com u approving to my terms is contractual agreement that u agree today front or back they’re not made up they’re all receipts with ur name and address.. I got my lawyers too decorated mil lawyers, I’ll atill print the back order or out of stock items it long as all shipping is paid POUNT BLANK AND

Customer Response • May 26, 2018

Complaint: ***

I am rejecting this response because:

Mr. is speaking of shipping terms that were agreed to by both parties as a remedy and considered resolved, I have emails and text messages from Mr. agreeing to a 50 percent payment of shipping costs. Mr. is again changing his story, I have detailed emails stating he was shipping all final pieces all the way up till this last bix was shipped, now he is speaking of out of stock items, if that were the case why not say that when making the shipment. Mr. has blocked my number from communicaging with him, which shows his intent is not to resolve this and "send the remaining items". Mr. has been belligerent at most times, and we have remained civil at all times. In regard to "out of stock items" had Mr. purchased these items in January when he was paid in full, these items would not be out of stock. He purchased these items within the last 2 weeks, and only purchased 41 pieces. Not withstanding the fact that he also purchased cheap replacements for garments we paid for, i.e we paid for *** and received ***, which is quite a drop in quality and price. He also ssubstituted lower end model sweatpants, not the model we PAID for. In conclusion, we will continue our path to resolution, which ever way we need to, threats about JAG lawyers mean nothing, as JAG law is wuite different from criminal or civil law. We are prepared to continue as this is not only about the money anymore, it is now the principle, and we hope to warn any potential businesses from falling into this position. If Mr. would like to resolve this matter, its simple he can either send our remaining items and we will pay shipping for them, as we just did under the false impression we would be receiving all of our items, which we did not, or he can refund us for the cost of the 55 remaining *** items (not cheap alternatives)that were paid for in January. As a business owner, Mr. in replacing the more expensive items we paid for with cheap alternatives, again committed yet another act of fraud.

Sincerely,

Duane

Great Company! First class products and service!
