awesome buttons, awesome pricing, awesome people

not sure what else you'd need to know! I needed 50 buttons overnight, they happily accepted, sent me a secure pay link for my credit card, and the next afternoon i swung in and my buttons were ready.

can't wait to craft up some new designs :)

I have ordered from BBBC twice now through my job. Both times, we waited until the last minute to order and both times BBBC was eager to help us. There is a charge for last minute ordering (they profusely apologize for charging you too, even though its your fault) but it's not very much. There is a small charge if you want them to design your button, but they keep those designs forever so you can reuse them easily with no additional charge in the future. The buttons are inexpensive-- we've gotten the 3" buttons and they are a nice size and good quality.

I can't remember the name of the girl who I've worked with (she's really cute, has red hair, bubbly personality) but she is SO friendly and always asks about my organization every time we talk. I love them! Busy Beaver makes me happy!

So when I was planning my wedding and I got to the "Favors" portion of the planning, I wanted to get something that would make people laugh and wouldn't cost an arm and a leg (especially since most people throw wedding favors in a drawer or the garbage and never look at them again.).  My genius solution: Custom made buttons. But where to get them?  That is where Busy Beaver Button Company came in. A friend of mine recommended them after his former place of employment used them for a job.
Bottom line is they were fantastic. We gave them the color scheme we were looking for and the 5 different sayings we wanted, and the finished product was better than I ever imagined. They were helpful, friendly, quick, and I noticed that they even worked our names and wedding date onto the inner edge of the button!
Our guests loved them and the cost was very reasonable. We got 250 buttons for $190. Not too shabby. Now if I could only think of more reasons for custom made buttons.

Got 300 buttons from them for my wedding. It was exactly how I imagined them to be. They were great with the emails and the service was excellent! Couldn't have been happier.

Busy beaver is not only great at what they do (make quality buttons quickly for a very reasonable price) they are inspirational! They've built their business from the ground up (actually from a basement so UNDERground up...) doing what they like to do. Their button-o-matic project is fantastic as is all of their thoughtful aesthetic details. I was at the opening for their new building/storefront/office this weekend which is beautiful! Congratulation Busy Beaver. I look forward to working with you more and more in the future... in fact, I look around for excuses to make buttons with you. You get my highest recommendation.

Super rad! Excellent quality and very fast shipping. They arrived a day earlier than the rush I paid for. My customers are LOVING them. Absolutely fantastically awesome. I'm placing a reorder now. Spread the word!

I've ordered from them twice...I put in an order for some buttons two days ago and they were shipped today! That's insanely fast. If I recall my first order with them a few months ago was pretty fast too..and I didn't ask for the rush service.

The buttons are inexpensive. The first time I ordered the square buttons because they are the perfect shape to put my art on. This time around I ordered 1" circles to use as promotional items...the square buttons will be more collector's items since they cost more to make.

Inexpensive, quick, and great customer service.

That's pretty much all you need to know.

Busy Beaver is the best!  I've had them make 1" buttons for my bands, for my Rocky Horror cast and most recently for my wedding!  I put in my order on the Monday before my wedding and requested rush delivery, which guaranteed my buttons by Friday.  I made note that this was for my wedding and needed them asap and had them by Thursday, early AM!  Holy crap guys, thanks!  Plus it always looks great.
These kids do great work.  Fully backed.

Five stars for the coolest comeback...in highschool I had all kinds of pins, 20 years later I've decorated my car with them...definitely worth the $.50 investment. The art is fun and you never know just what you will get...
