Not a big fan of design-a-shirt sites myself- had a problem with the delivery of one of my own uploaded images that they really didn’t succeed in cloning in tshirt form.
These sites nowadays seem to be all about never talking to any of their customers. Call me old fashioned, but when I’m paying good money for volume or even the occasional event where i needed a few tees- I need to talk to someone. There is just a huge degree of uncertainty with throwing up an image, picking out a tee without actually TOUCHING it and sliding your credit card across the whole internet. Its just- empty.
If I were to pick out one shop that I have had the best experiences with it would be American Youth Enterprise. They offer mom and pop like customer service and they really give you all the info you need to get a headstart on your custom t-shirt project. They even have a great fundraising program for youths that is really making a difference locally and nationwide.
Anyway, just my two cents. This site is great. Keep up the good work.
