Anyone used Tesco's uniform embroidery service - any good?

Thinking of ordering some sweatshirts and polo shirts from Tesco as the school he starts in September is on there and the items are cheaper than from the local specialist shops. They also have free delivery atm.
Has anyone used them and what do they think? Will they wash well enough to be used for his younger brother too(subject to extremes, I know)?
Thanks in advance.

    I work in a school and we use Tesco as our main provider of embroidered sweatshirts and t shirts. Have been using them since last September. They wash up really well and can be tumble dried. We tend to advise parents to buy a size bigger and have had no problems with delivery. The price is a lot cheaper than our original provider.

    Our school looked at the Tesco service and it "looks" great. The question is will it last? After all: with free delivery and the very low prices Tesco has to be making a stonking loss on every item sold and it isn't increasing the footfall in their stores.

    The company behind the Tesco service also set-up yourschooluniform .com which was bought by Freeman's catalogue. That made huge losses and was given away by Freeman's last summer.

    I suspect Tesco's will find making losses on school uniform just as unacceptable and can't see this lasting very long. So take advantage of their generosity while it lasts.
