cafepress.com is not so good.... Let me tell you why.
I ordered:
1 print
2 LG t-shirts
1 med t-shirt

Print - looked good, colors, clarity, size, paper thickness. Overall good to great print

T-shirts - shirt thickness was good, print quality good, print color awful!!

I got the shirts and it looks like they are just printed in gray tones and yellow for the calipers. There is not a hint of PURPLE on these!

I wrote to them and told them the issue. They said there might have been a problem with the print process so they were going to make me 3 more shirts at no cost and I could keep the poopy ones. OK, fine.....

I got the 3 newly printed shirts.... SAME THING! Not a single change in color on the shirts.... so now I have:
4 LG poopy print shirts & 2 Med poopy print shirts....
SOOOOOO
I wrote to them and told them the issue. They said there might have been a problem with the print process so they were going to make me 3 more shirts at no cost and I could keep the poopy ones. BUT they said they would try to do a "heat transfer" instead of an ink print which is much like an "iron on". I said, "OK, fine....."
SOOOOOOO
I got 4, yes 4 newly "heat transfered" shirts. 2 lg and 2 med. Why the extra medium shirt? I have no idea. SAME THING! Not a single change in color on the shirts.... so now I have:
6 LG poopy print shirts & 4 Med poopy print shirts.....

what do you guys think I should do next......?
 
I don't want to burn them, kuz it's still my car on the shirt. No, I probably will not wipe my but with them anymore, thanks for the TP tip POLE. I don't want to give them away because I still paid $71 for 3 shirts and I now have 9 for the same price.

Should I have them attempt it again to see what they come up with....?

Bring them to the PRT meet for door prizes :) I'd rock a blu-fuz shirt...even if it's the wrong color...
 
keep on them until they get it right.
and if things keep going the way they are, then everybody at SZ next year could get a no-so-blu Blu_fuz t-shirt!
 
stay away from cafepress. the print quality is awful. the t-shirts are horrible. if you want quality stuff you are going to have to pay for it. just like everything else in the world.

In my opinion,you did not get what you ordered. 3 strikes and...
Send all of them back if/when you get a full refund , you did not get what you ordered . If you used a credit card ,it should be pretty easy to get credit .
It seems to really bother you...
 
See, Mr Blu Fuz here takes pride in his Purple Pimpmobile. I say we have some secksy ladies pose on the car for SZ08 - in just the poopy shirts. :shrug:
 
I like the idea Bildo! I will attempt it one more time with cafepress and see what happens. Believe it or not, but the color actually scratches off.... wierd huh - these are printed so poorly, I doubt they will last past 10 washes.... at least the colors they used (gray) can't fade....
 
Give em another shot and if it still sucks demand your money back and if you paid by CC tell them about it and see about getting the charges reversed.



oh and please wash the poopy shirts before you make some cute gals wear em!
