CafePress is great, but almost unusable for international shoppers (I am Canadian) due to high shipping costs. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> Their rates are an obvious cash grab, at worst, or very poor work on the part of selecting couriers, at best. <br> <br> 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.

This is a 2 part review. Part 1 is for using this site as a Shopper. Part 2 is for using this site as a Designer. Even if you think you are just a Shopper, you will learn you can also be a Designer with a little help! :-D     Read full review...

There are several ways to evaluate Cafe Press. For some consumers it may be a great thing, perfect for printing college reunion T-shirts or baseball jerseys. This review looks at Cafepress from the standpoint and concerns of an artist looking to sell     Read full review...

I've always been a sucker for the "hand made gift". Back in elementary school that meant little coupons for my mother. In high school it meant handmade photo collages. And after the World-Wide Web sprung to life it meant personalized calendars, mugs,     Read full review...

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.

I decided to become a member in 2003 as I had a lot of photos - why not put them on t-shirts and other stuff like Cafepress suggested, and make some money off it? All I would need to spend would be their yearly subscription fee. It was pretty fun     Read full review...

What a wonderful way for an artist starting out to get their work out there. It's great for learning about designing for the gift market place. You take your art and make it fit each measurement for each product. I've been a member for 2 years now. I     Read full review...

I actually got a present from someone, but the sizes weren't right. I contacted customer service, and they said they would be "More than happy to make the exchange." I didn't want a return. I simply wanted the right size. So I sent my merchandise back to them. 12 weeks later, and multiple e-mails, I have yet to hear anything back from them, 'nor have I received any packages with the correctly-sized merchandise back from them. <br> <br> I won't be ordering anything through them again - I can't stand companies that rip off the customer, and aren't even apologetic for it. <br> <br> Update: After a complaint through the Better Business Bureau, cafepress.com finally replied, and has now satisfied my complaint. Granted, they could've done this months before they did, and avoided a complaint through the BBB - but some companies like to take the road less traveled.

They have some really unique items so I purchased a hat for $20 from them. I paid for 10 day shipping but after 15 days I hadn't received my item. When I Emailed them they replied with a UPS tracking number that didn't work. I Emailed them about this and they replied with the SAME info. I had to Email again, only to find out that they shipped my hat Snail mail. Why they sent me UPS tracking I don't know? <br> <br> I could not log onto my account during this time and when I contacted them, they never answered my question about this problem. Finally after getting really annoyed I demanded a credit on my account. They sent me an Email saying they would re-send my item but I didn't want to wait 10 more days. I requested overnight but it took them 2 more days to reply to me. <br> <br> The item finally came (They sent me two rather than one) but it was very thin and not worth what I paid. Overall I would not buy from them again because the trouble was not worth it.

POOR!!!!! Expensive shipping, little-to-no customer service, and had to process a refund through my credit card company. I placed an order December 6th and as of December 22nd, it still hasn't arrived. Many emails went unanswered. After wait on hold for over an hour, I was told I could NOT get a refund, and all they would was reship the order. To top it off, THEY WANTED ME TO REPAY SHIPPING COSTS!!!! I told them I was intending on used the items as christmas gifts I was basically told "tough s**t, take it up with our shipping company." but of course they wouldn't give me my reference number for their shipping company.
