My prior experience with decals: I have designed one other lettering decal on another site, and applied two copies of it on a boat, both with good results that lasted well with the sun and water beating boat decals take.
LOC's website is decent as is the design tool. A little challenging to navigate to retrieving saved designs, but once there not too bad. After I ordered with LOC, they were very good and proactive about clarifying one particular thing about my design. Did this with several back and forth emails ... they were very prompt and crystal clear about what I would, and would not, be getting.
Disappointed with instructions provided with the decals. Spray a "solution" somewhere to make things easier. What's in this "solution" wasn't provided. Off to Google I went and found several different mixtures of several different things that could be used ... I chose 3 drops of dish soap per 1/2 liter of water for my "solution". Whether to spray it on the decal or the surface was not clear to me from the instructions. So off to Google again, and what I found indicated it should be sprayed on the surface. I found the decal lettering to be adhered to the front film and the back paper too strongly. Several letters pulled off the surface completely when I removed the film even though I removed it VERY slowly, carefully, and "horizontally". To fix this, I dried the surface, collected the miscreant letters, and tried to reapply them individually using a tweezers. These roaming-about letters collected a strand or two of pet hair each on the adhesive side -- we have pets, and I only bothered to clean the surface to be mounted, not a larger area around the project. So then I attempted to remove the pet hair with the tweezers, but had to get another tweezers to hold the letters with. All in all I got them on and positioned satisfactorily. They are on a side case of a motorcycle I tour with, so they'll get their fair share of 100 degree blasting sun, and torrential rain deluges. So -- I'm not at all sure that these letters -- particularly the roaming ones -- are going to last because of all the playing/touching I had to do with the adhesive If I do a LOC decal again, I won't spray any liquid anywhere. Spraying the surface allows you to position your decal a bit, but since these letters were adhered so strongly to the film/paper, the wet surface did not provide enough adhesion to overcome the adhesive on the film as well as I'd have liked. In fairness to LOC, I didn't contact them for clarification of the instructions. In watching a number of Youtube videos on how to apply decals, I didn't imagine I would have this much trouble.

I placed a very small order - about $40 - that was outside the practicable specifications. It was my mistake but a customer service person reached out to help me fix the problem. It took several email exchanges to make the project work. The final product was perfect! I was so impressed that they volunteered to devote so much time and energy to help me make my little project a success.

I was really happy with the result. It came out just like I wanted it to and it was easy to get on the mirror. They have a lot of options and variety which a lot of other places I checked didn't so I'm happy.

I think this is our 4th or 5th order from LetteringOnTheCheap. They're always produced and shipped quickly, and are of good quality. The lettering on this order has come out substantially larger than I expected, which surprised me because I used the same PowerPoint file as the first time and only changed the content, not the font size (and I don't have the "resize to fit" option on). Something may have happened when I converted the PowerPoint image to a PDF. It'll still work on my business windows, so I'll give them a pass.

Thirty % of the letters were attached to backing paper. Letters , (when possible to remove) had to be hand applied to the surface. This is a very difficult thing to do. it generally turn into a mess.

Company Response

If you are having trouble with bubbles, generally not enough application fluid was used when applying.  The fluid prevents your decal from sticking immediately so you can use a squeegee to smooth the decal from the middle out, releasing any trapped air.  If there are small bubbles, leaving the stickers in direct sunlight will typically help to dry out the moisture & the bubbles will go away.  

As for colors please contact us - we can provide actual samples of our "standard" colors or if you let us know a pantone color, we can print a color swatch & allow you to pick the color closest to what you are looking for.

I have put adhesive lettering on a number of trucks over the past 25 years and these went on great. The outer cover was more flexible than others I've had and allowed the install to go smoothly by holding the panel away from the surface while using a bondo spreader to smooth the lettering down evenly. I use the spreader to press the letters down a number of times from different directions and then wait 10 minutes to allow the adhesive to really get to like their new home before peeling the covering off. The font I chose has very small tips to the letters and NOT 1 tip even tried to lift off the paint with the cover sheet. VERY good adhesion. The ONLY thing I couldn't find on the website was shadowing to make the letters appear more 3 D. Not a big deal this time, as the letters are actually temporary until I do work to the truck. Next time I'll call and see if they can do that feature. Other than that, they have more fonts, colors and special effects than I wanted to spend time looking at. Huge selection of options for everything.

This is a company/product that you only have a need for once ? or rarely (after your boat or service van is lettered, you have no need for these people), pricing in this industry varies gratly, and defining/seeing what you want is usually a hurried process in a brick and mortar store.

I felt the do-it-yourself design/trial-and-error system online was intelligent, easy, and at my own pace (design it, think on it, return to try something else) until I was satisfied. all the bells and whistles.

great site, good product (same as everyone else) and far cheaper than what I was quoted locally.
I will be back next lettering need-time,

I design my own boat name and style and it came out perfect! After being on the boat for 2 years the black part of the letters started to crack and split. I call customer service and they replaced it for free. I will be ordering again in the future and also I will recommending your company.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?

Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.

Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.

As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:

Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.

Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.

So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
