I started my own store on Zazzle about a month ago. Liked the site, designs looked great on a screen, so I wanted to actually feel the products before telling anybody to buy it. I bought one black man's t-shirt, one pink girls' t-shirt and two ladies t-s (one black and one white). So, we are talking $75 (with the shipping).
Delivery: I live in Canada. Standard shipping took exactly 21 days – ok, that's long but understandable. I had to pay $16 for the customs – unexpected, but still understandable.
The products: 1) The child's t is great. Good quality, nice design. Happy with it.
2)The man's t is ok, even though not such a good quality, and the print looks like it glued on the t-shirt. To be fair – great colors.
3) The ladies t-s are the biggest disappointment. The designs are exactly twice as big as they appear on the screen, so they look totally ridiculous. The black t-shirt is very thin and itchy. Again, design looks like it was glued on, has a white outline and the edges look pixelated. My designs were 150ppi, checked all the picture sizes before ordering, no reason for bad quality prints.
So, I have one excellent, one acceptable and two bad t-shirts.
Returning those two t-shirts won't be worth the money because of the shipping and customs fees I already paid.
Now, from my experience:
1) I won't be ordering black t-shirts from Zazzle.
2) I won't be ordering women's t-shirts from Zazzle.
3) I'm not sure if I should keep me store. I feel bad for the person who bought black t with my design and now may be as disappointed as I am.
