So, it seems that cafe press custom t-shirts cost a little bit more than what i could get done locally. but it does seem that they give quite a bit of support, which would be great for me just starting up.

Question1: Do i have to use there screen printing service if i want to use there shop feature?

question2: Do they mail me my tshirt creations, and then i have to manually disperse them to my buys myself? or do they do that for me online.

and the last question is can i see an example of a cafe press store?

They use digital print on demand to print there t-shirts which is like a printer that prints on t-shirts but is pretty good. Good part is they can make one as needed so no stock to start off with. So they produce the shirts for you.

They ship for you and collect the money so you get your money from them.

As for a good I would also like to see a really well made Cafe Press store as an example for my soon to be new store.

They do everything for you except create the designs and promote your shop. You don't even have to promote to get sales from their marketplace.

You should really get on the CP forums, as your fellow shopkeepers will give you the best advice..

Cafepress hosts your website, print and mail your orders directly to your customer.

If you want to inventory your own stock, you would not use Cafepress. You could use your own website, and ship your own orders. Sites like Big Cartel - Simple shopping cart for artists, designers, bands, record labels, jewelry, crafters allows you to easily set up and maintain your own site.

To see examples of Cafepress stores, just go to CafePress: Custom & funny t-shirts plus unique gifts and browse. There are a million of them.
