Tried to search for it but couldn't find anything on here; who is a good, quality custom patch maker that will take orders for 1-5 patches?

I remember hearing some are bad and/or practically thieves so wanted to be sure before I wasted my time/money.

Thanks

I ordered a Ninja Turtle Patch from Affray Patchworks on Etsy, (the guy that owns it makes all kinds of custom patches) and it took almost 2 months to get to me.  While it was a high quality patch, the customer service was a nightmare. The guy's page says it ships the day after you order and takes 2 days. I emailed him several times for an update and it took him on average 2 weeks to respond, if he even did. So, if his page is still there, stay away. Far away.

I just got patches ordered through Shelby Patch Company.
These guys are great and walked me through all the designs and made any corrections I needed.
I know GoRuck uses them as well.

If it's something cool, shoot me a PM.
I'll send you some money for one. I'm kinda a patch whore and one-offs are pretty cool in my book

And at risk of sounding like a broken record in the gear forum, this is the one to avoid...

I'm glad you guys had a good experience with OML but lots of others haven't, including myself, and I try to mention it in every custom patch thread I see on ARFCOM where their name comes up. Just trying to look out for my ARFCOM brothers and sisters!

Take a look at past posts on them on here...

OML patches is a RIP OFF - Buyers Beware.

Copyright Infringers are assholes

Need a custom FEMA patch made. Where do I go?

I need some morale patches made...

best source of patches...and best source in 1 place?


And a couple business review sites:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/OML_Patches

http://www.bbb.org/kitchener/business-reviews/internet-shopping/oml-patches-in-cambridge-on-1186866

http://www.bbb.org/eastern-michigan/business-reviews/novelties-retail/oml-patches-in-southfield-mi-90011359/

Note that both the Southfield and Cambridge locations reference the same web address.

There are a lot of other horror stories about them on other message boards if you take the time to look.

As I said in one of the threads above, OML is a lot like Botach. Many people have a good experience but a lot don't. Why bother buying from them when there are a lot of other good options out there, if you don't have to.

I've thought about doing a patch but does anyone have an idea what a single patch would run? I can't imagine it would be worth it... Just a ballpark figure?

I contacted Violent Little Machine shop, they got back to me and said they are no longer doing anything under a $200 order. Just to busy, glad to see them succeeding. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.
