You know that big website where you can set up your own store to sell mugs, t-shirts and other useless crap. My wife ordered 160 dollars worth of stuff from them and we got it this afternoon. It looks like someone took a fucking sharpie and drew with it on the shirt. I have never ever seen more pathetic quality, even in god damned Vietnam flea market. I would do a charge back on them but I feel sorry for that soccer mom / mary kay reject that had to make that store.

Only thing I ever bought from there was a shirt that had most of the proceeds going to charity. And yeah, the quality was terrible - I got a tank top and the straps were sewn on all wonky and twisted.Give me money & buy my links here, damn it!Comment

Nothing new. CafePress has never been known for quality.

Really the quality issue isn't with cafepress it is many times the fault of the designer/store owner for producing poor quality art and not checking the real world results on a sample product before selling it to the public.
I have had a cafepress store for many years and they do have a money back guarantee, so if you aren't satisfied, call them and they will take care of it for you.
I once ordered a shirt for someone as a gift, when I got it I realized I had ordered the wrong size..my mistake..called em up..told them I screwed up..they said no prob and sent me out a new one in the correct size by 2nd day air and told me to keep the one I ordered initially.
hard to beat that...lolComment

Charge that shit back... once the processer gets pissed off -- quality will improve drastically, or they are gone... sorry just sayin - but it's just business.i like wafflesComment

It's not the art, it's the fucking shit quality of the materials they use. Hell you can't see what you're paying for until you pay for it, so why would they care?Comment

CafePress has been around for like 10 years ... a few more chargebacks won't change anything.
The submitted art makes a difference for what the image itself looks like, but much of the quality complaints have to do with the clothing materials and transfer methods cafepress uses that can often, regardless of the submitted art quality, result in a crappy final product.

That sucks to hear. You can by iron-on transfer paper at the office supply store that you can put through your printer and iron onto your clothing.---'-,-{@ Sassy Grrrl @}-'-,---

their quality is bad, but i wouldnt even think of a chargeback unless they didnt send the order and refuse a refund or something along those lines.Comment

Well, it's been a few years since I last ordered anything, but I was super impressed with the printed T's I ordered, I'd have a look at the person that designed the tshirt, chances are the design was done at the wrong resolution which would give a shitty result for sure.
I still have one of the shirts and it's been like 4 years and the fabric is starting to frey and develop holes but the print still looks great actually.Comment

we bought a ton for my daughter and they all turned out really well
