I ordered two maternity shirts (one tank and one t-shirt) as a gift for a friend. The tank was so small it fit me and I weigh 120 and NOT PREGNANT. The screens on the shirts were faded and they looked so cheap. On the plus side for this website I did receive my order very quick, and they refunded me with no hassle. I just wish the quality was better.

I LOVE Cafepress! I'm a buyer AND a shop-owner there and they are fast, friendly and FULL of unique creative designs. On the rare occasion of a problem, their customer service has ALWAYS bent over backward to make sure they fix the problem at their expense. I'm extremely proud to be associated with them and love shopping there for my own and others' products, regularly!

I was shocked by Ogdensmom's review - She shouldn't blame them for non-delivery of her order when SHE admits to giving them incorrect address! It's the shopper's responsibility to provide a valid shipping address - She expects the store to babysit HER?

Cafepress provides people an opportunity to both find truly unique gifts -AND- provides creative people the opportunity to run their own successful business for just $7 each month (So I don't get the complaining review from the failed-shop owner, either).

If it weren't for Cafepress, I wouldn't be able to work as a full-time independent artist... They ROCK!

Ordered a t-shirt and paid for 2 day shipping. As of 7 days later, still waiting for order to arrive. Very disappointed.

I ordered an ash gray t-shirt as a gift for my husband on Dec. 9th. According to the CafePress. com website, the shirt was in-stock and would ship with in three days. After a full week, I still had not received my order, so I emailed Customer Service. I wanted to know why the item was listed as "In Production" on the Order Status page. Instead of getting a personal reply, I got an automated message that my order had finally been shipped--no explanation to the "In Production" question nor an explanation as to why my order went out six days later than it should have. As it stands, it is thirteen days since I placed my order and it is now stuck somewhere in Maryland.

So far this has been the worst on-line shopping experience I have ever encountered. I placed my order November 11th. On November 27th I called to check on my order and then again the first of December. I got their spill about how dark shirt need more time to dry, blah,blah,blah. They changed my shipping to 2-day. It is December 14th and I still haven't received the order. When I checked on my order on their site, it still says ready for production. Their customer service 1-800 people only read from this site undoubtedly because they can only tell you what is written there - that the "shirts are in production". Two of the shirts I ordered were a special request by my college age child and I am really upset that it looks like they will not be here for Christmas even though I ordered them in plenty of time to get here for Christmas.

Most of the positive reviews, I noticed, are by other sellers that use Cafepress. Several of the negative are by actual consumers. It is my opinion, the sellers could do their customer a favor by not using Cafepress.

I made the fatal error of buying an imprinted sweatshirt for a Christmas gift & not opening it before their 30 day return window closed. Silly me. The thing wouldn't have fit a doll & the graphic imprint was utterly pathetic.

Not only am I a shop owner on Cafe Press (see profile), but I originated as a customer when I bought a T-shirt about the Iraqi Information Officer from one of the shops. I found the shop by doing a search in Google, and I was very pleased not only with the T-shirt, but also the great communication from Cafe Press about my order, and how quickly it was shipped. I received it in an expected amount of time, and I thought the price was reasonable.

Since that initial purchase, I have bought several more items from shops, and even some from one of my own shops.

I have set up a shop for an annual family reunion for one of my husband's family groups, which is a great way for far-flung cousins to all order the same or similar things.

The glory of any shop I have set up is that all I have to do is supply the image, file, etc., and Cafe Press does the rest.

Very poor customer service. They simply do not respond when you have something you need to return. I'm disgusted.

Item arrived on time, but is SO SMALL it's ridiculous. It is a women's large t-shirt and it would not fit an average 6 year old.

There are no instructions on the invoice for returns. You have to call or email. I emailed three times int he last 4 days and have heard nothing back yet. When I call the office is closed.

The poorest customer service I've ever experienced in on-line shopping.

UPDATE: Cafepress both refunded me my money and sent me a larger shirt. I was very satisfied with that.

CafePress is great, but almost unusable for international shoppers (I am Canadian) due to high shipping costs.

For a recent order, the price for CafePress shipping was OVER 4 TIMES more expensive than the comparable US mail rate to Canada. The price for CafePress shipping was $20 more than UPS next day air, yet CafePress takes 6-8 days to arrive.

There is no reasonably fast shipping option for Canadian orders, yet UPS delivers here just fine and CafePress ships UPS to US customers upon request.

Their rates are an obvious cash grab, at worst, or very poor work on the part of selecting couriers, at best.

CafePress high shipping prices scare off Canadian customers. I would recommend another solution if you want to appeal to other than US shoppers until CafePress resolves this problem.

WOW! Anyone can make money through cafepress.com. I started a store just for my college. I made 90 dollars in 2 weeks of doing nothing. I just set up the site, and made a link from our school site. The possibilities are endless, as far as the consumer is concerned. The shipping is basic and takes a week at most. The shirts are pretty sweet for the price, considering you are getting a custom shirt. The hats are iffy though. Other than that they do a great job. The transactions are safe and quick! This site will spark you're creativity.

Shopping at Cafepress can be characterized by high quality and great service. Overall I've had varied experiences shopping online, but Cafepress has consistently delivered on time. Even their "el cheapo" T-shirts feel good to wear and survive multiple washing; for a few dollars more, you can get high-quality shirts made in the USA. Prices are a little high, as may be expected for a custom screening job, but it's worth it. I would recommend Cafepress to anyone, especially if you want to make your own T-shirt.

Cafepress continues to offer new items and the items are shipped quickly. As a seller you have complete control over how your items look and how much to sell them for. The setup is easy and the more time you put into your store the more you sell.
