Anybody ordered from PropatchInc for customized patch kits?

At our monthly meeting last night we discussed stocking some customized patch kits branded for our co-op to sell during open shop hours or give away as needed.
Propatchinc and Bicycle Promotions seem like the two best retailers online for customized patch kits but Propatch's prices are half of the other stores. Which should be awesome for those of us closely monitoring costs.
Here's a link to their page with the different options available: http://propatchinc.com/category.php?id_category=15
Is it too good to be true? When ordered in bulk, the Propatch kits cost the same as Park Tool patch kits but give us the opportunity to get our brand out.
Thanks, Bobby

I have used ProPatch 3-4 times in the past 2 years. I'm happy with the quality and cost, because we use them ( patch kits ) as a free hand out item. The graphics look nice, and their graphics department was really friendly to work with.
I also have ordered the large tire lever, and love those too. You get 2-3 lines of text on the lever, and kids seem to like the larger handle better than the more common smaller size lever. ( http://propatchinc.com/product.php?id_product=22 ) We also use these as a free handout item.
The only problem I had was about 1 year ago, they told me 2 week on the lead time, and it was a bit closer to 2+ months. The latest order was about 2 weeks though....
