Hi all,
Ok, I know there's a couple of "Cafepress VS. Spreadshirt" threads here, but I've some queries of my own, and I'm having a big problem deciding which to use.
Here's my points of views:
Cafepress
-Been hearing lots of negative stories about their printing quality and their printing quality gives me jitters
-Easy to integrate CP store into your own website as there's 3rd-party scripts built for this function
-Has a robust support forum and is reliable
-Ships products to almost every country worldwide and almost everyone in the world can sell their products there
Spreadshirt
-overall storefront interface is clean and very "Web 2.0"
-provides flex and
DTG printing and have heard many great things about their printing quality, including the video
here
-offers the black messenger bag and canvas shoes for us to customize, which are very attractive and has potential
-premium membership gives us the advantage of putting our own logos and brands onto each product package sent to the customer, instead of something that says "Cafepress.com".....branding is very important!
-allows you to customize the store only if you buy premium membership, which is rather expensive at US$10 per month
-ships mainly to major Western countries and a couple of Asian countries; only people in supported countries can sell there, although you can choose to get paid by PayPal
Each one seems to have its own irresistible benefits which I totally like and I can't decide which is better for me.
I was thinking how great it would be if the two of them can merge together!
If anyone has tried both before, do let me know and everyone please gimme your views as well.
Thanks!
