Have you ever bought anything from CafePress?
 

I'm thinking about setting up a shop on CafePress and was wondering about their quality...

Dont do it!

I havent bought anthing with them, however, several of my webmaster friends dropped them when their members started complaining about the quality.

Go with freakfish :-)

their stuff is cheap iron on crap

I've heard the quality is worse than bad.

Excellent, I'm glad I asked first! :)

The logos and shit fall off... they like are caked on with glue or something.

Anal?

These buch of fuckers are the most stupid dombo's I have ever dealt with. A couple of months ago I opened my own store and wanted to see what I was selling. Therefore I tried to order 1 item of each. After I had placed my order I got an email:

I did fill in all the data and got this fucking mail back:

It's fucking bullshit. I have 2 credit-cards funded with enough money. Visa and MasterCard. For some stupid reason they don't wanna accept them. They told me I had to send them an international money order, which is pretty much impossible to do from The Netherlands. Ask a bank teller you wanna do an "international money order" and they think you are a fool.

So I made this money order when I was in the US. Got the shit at home finally and skipped the bad itmes from my store.

Now I wanted to order again stuff with a value of US$8,000 and asked them by phone or I could get a special price because I wanted to order 100 pieces of several items. They reponded negative. Then I asked for a lower shipping fee. They would charge me $1450 to ship this shit to me. Again they said no!

Therefore I decided to order less. I made an order of $1400. Got the same shit back about my credit-card. Reponded and got again the scond mail.

WHAT A BUNCH OF FUCKING DOMBO'S ARE RUNNING THIS COMPANY????? I AWARD THEM WITH THE BIGGEST DOMBO EVER TROPHY. CONGRATS MOTHERFUCKERS AND NOW GO FUCK YOURSELVES :321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

What he said .. :feels-hot

I WAS thinking of setting up with them, but not anymore. Anyone have an alternative?

I have heard good things about freakfish. Never used them though but am considering it.

I've bought shit from them and the quality was horrible! Not only did it look like they printed the shirts with iron-on paper (you can see the lines) but the grahpics were crinkled and cracked like a shirt you've had for years.

The colors were dull and faded, and since they don't let you use cmyk color mode, the colors are always slightly off from what you design.

They're horrible, and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

yeah i bought a really cool septagram design on a shirt there a couple months ago and i didnt notice that the back of the shirt had a big old url on it until it showed up at my house. so that ruined it for me. plus like its been said, its like iron on shit.

only 1 thing.. just a naughtyjenn thong.. cant say it was the best of quality either :(

Wow.

Nobody with anything good to say about them? :)

They seem pretty popular...

Thanks for everyones input. Quality is very important to me if I'm going to sell something...

someone know an alternative ?

I've heard 99dogs.com is decent, but I've never seen their stuff first hand, so you should check 'em out first.

I agree, cafe press is complete crap. Cheap blurry iron-ons that blur more each time they're washed. Don't buy from them :warning

crap bump :BangBang:
