I ordered a sign from Hedlin Designs, sent in my photos and text and credit card number. The ONLY THING Gary Hedlin did was charge my card immediately. He did absolutely nothing else. I didn't receive the "proof", even after sending him numerous patient emails. He never answered a single one, and you can't call him on the phone. Try it! To this day, I still don't understand why he did nothing except charge my credit card. I see some reviewers have actually received satisfactory signs from him. GOOD LUCK with that. I finally got my money back by disputing the charge with my bank. Never did hear a single word of explanation from Gary. I then ordered a sign from "Show Cars Illustrated.com" and it was the exact opposite. They did everything they said they'd do, promptly, and the sign is excellent.

I have purchased car related products online for 5 years without issues. Regrettably, I must warn others not to waste your time attempting to conduct business with Gary Hedlin. After multiple agreed to deadlines were missed, lack of honesty, communication ceased. Stay away!!

I ordered a sign for my dad around Christmas time. Gary was very responsive to my messages and was willing to change things up. With the craziness of life I got back to Gary a few months later ready to print. He was willing to make changes and promised to get the sign to me way before my dad visits Bloomington in June. The last month I have tried multiple times to communicate with Gary with no response. I was really looking forward to receiving my sign as the design was amazing. Currently in the process of fighting the charge with my credit card company. Highly dissatisfied!

Apparently the entire shop is out of the country for May and June? The Ordering process on the website is pretty straight forward but could use some tweeking to make it better. All the reviews on the Hedlin Designs Web site were good and I was excited to see the timeline for ordering and shipping as I had procrastinated a little too long. I ordered two signs for an upcoming car show 3 weeks out and my credit card was immediately billed. The Web site state that "normally" you will hear back from them within 48 hours with the mock-up of you design for approval. I gave them more than a week before I started contacting them. You can't just call them and talk to a person! I did text them per the provided info on the Web site and I also emailed them per the address I had used to order my signs. Still, 3 weeks later, I have not heard a single word from Hedlin Designs! A few days before the car show, I went through my credit card company to get my money back. Once I read more reviews, I saw that this same situation had happened last year at this time also. It looks like Hedlin Design has a good product and everyone that gets theirs is happy with it and can't say enough good about the signs or the company. Those of us that learn the hard way and order in May or June are not so happy... This is just plain bad business and bad customer service! I understand if they are super busy or on vacation, etc. but it would be much better if their Web site would reflect that. They should let the customers know that they will be "out of the office" for that time...

Like several others, paid in full more than a month ago and zero communication since then. No response to email, phone call, or text (as instructed in phone voicemail to do). Missed using for several car shows now. Thankfully I'm able to dispute the payment. I can understand a small business getting behind on orders or having something go wrong that causes production to halt, but post a message on your website or a general "out of office reply" to people. Losing customers and gaining a bad reputation serves nobody.

I ordered a board over a month ago. I paid in full almost $200. They have not sent me any emails. No renderings, nothing. I have sent numerous emails. My emails were understanding at first, even after I missed out on having a board for the first real car show. Now a second show has come and gone. No board, no answers from them The only way they have to contact them is by email. My last email I asked for a refund but of course, no answer. I hope he is okay health wise because that could be the only explanation other than absolutely horrible customer service.
