Real Tshirt
Before promoting this merchandise, I ordered one for myself to check the quality of the product and service. I'm really pleased with it. The Tshirt is a nice quality one and the printing is excellent, better than I'd expected. The "L" for large size is generous enough, and the package arrived afer 7 days including a bank holiday weekend. The cost as charged to my Visa card (minus the 10% discount) was £12.22 this time, postage included. Photo to follow...
Zazzle & Ordering
I've been using Zazzle for about four years now, designing and creating my own designs on a range of subjects (including Cider!), and have ordered T-Shirts, Sweatshirts and Hooded Sweatshirts from them (I've recently designed and ordered a set of Hooded Sweatshirts for Gail's Ladies Hockey Team...).
When ordering, there are a couple of things to remember:
1) Sizes are designed to fit your average American, so tend to be a bit larger than equivalent UK sizes... I like baggy Tees, so in the UK order XXL, but from Zazzle, XL is plenty big enough. Read the Size Chart carefully.
2) Although slightly more expensive, the Premium T-Shirt is a much better buy, being higher quality, heavier cotton and having a hard-wearing micro-fibre shell. The quality of the print is much better on these, being sharper and brighter - and seems very resistent to fade so far. I always go for this style. The downside is the limited colour range, i.e. White - or Ash (which costs an extra US$2.50!).
3) Total Order Cost can sometimes catch you out when importing the product into the UK and getting it through Customs and Excise... Technically there is a limit on the value of anything imported due to the UK Government wanting it's slice of Import Tax and Duties; above this limit, you will have to trot down to your local Post Office and pay the tax and duties owed before it is released to you. In four years, we've only had to pay the tax and duty twice, before we cottoned on; we've found that providing we only order 2 or 3 items at a time, we don't get hit. It's frustrating if you want to order 5 or 6 items, but it works out one hell of a lot cheaper in the long run!
