I ordered a Sticker from CafePress. Shipping status hasn't changed. It's been over two weeks! Tried contacting them more than once and no one would respond. Total crap. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
I ordered a shirt and it was too small, so I called them and they instructed me not to return it and that they would send out a replacement, and they did free of charge. The only thing I didn't like is that they do not send an email order confirmation

I ordered a gift from Cafepress on Nov 29th, I still haven't received my product yet, its now being over 2 weeks since I purchased it. I paid extra for express delivery to have it delivered on time, and it still has not been delivered on time. I would advise not to buy from this company, I have been back and fourth with Customer service about my order, Customer service take time to reply back so if you want a quick response from this company I would advise to ring them not wait for an email which takes days for them to respond back. I will not be using this service again and I will not be recommending this to any of my family or friends. Absolute Disgrace over two weeks and still no sign of my purchase.
Hi Laura,
We're very sorry to hear the package did not arrive on time. If you never received it, please email [email protected] to let us know.
Everyone was so nice when i complained that the Photo Guinea Pig Blanket i purchased as a Christmas gift had a streak through it.
They said; "Keep it and we'll send a replacement".
They sent me another one, but it was defective too, with only three white borders instead of Four. I'll givie them to the homeless - but it's embarrassing giving them inferior products.

I purchased customized flip flops and the straps on the children's sizes are huge and are way over sized. Not practical at all!
Hi Mae,
We're sorry to hear the flip flops didn't work out. If you didn't contact us regarding this issue, please reach out to us at [email protected].
I spent two hours pulling together art work and learning how their online configurator worked so I could put some art work on a stainless steel travel mug and the next day that sent me an e-mail stating they could not do the mug because I used a picture of a car (a picture of my son's personal car that was going down the road and obviously not a manufacturers picture because the car was modified) and that is proprietary as it belongs to the manufacturer of the car. This was one travel mug for personal use by the car owner. Anyone in there right mind would know that his is OK to do. Another thing the did, and they stated in the e-mail that the did it, is that they locked up my art work so I could not have access to it... so now I have to start all over somewhere else. They have no business locking up MY WORK... what a bunch of jerks! If they are going to be super zealous then they should list all the things they are SCARED to do before you even start and I emphasize SCARED as opposed to realistically being illegal. These people owe me for 2 hours of my life back!

I ordered two hats with logos.
The hats are poor quality with off square stitching and the logos were applied crooked. They obviously do not check the quality of their merchandise before shipping.
Hi Duncan,
We're sorry to hear about the issues with the hats. If you haven't already contacted us regarding this matter, please reach out to us at [email protected].
Ordered a $72 Scottish throw blanket. Very disappointed. Expected better quality since the cost was high. Blanket is very thin and flimsy. Wish I could return it but it's a gift (requested) for my grandson's birthday and I don't have time to get another one. Will not shop with Cafepress again. Delivery was on time. Lena

I got a laptop skin and while the photo I pick was not the greatest, I was happy with it, until it came to applying it. It is completely butchered and unusable. They need to come up with a better system to applying the skins other than having to take the back paper off at once. I will not be buying from them again.
We're very sorry to hear the laptop skin was ruined during application. Please contact us via one of the methods below and we can arrange a free replacement.

I use CafePress, both as a customer and as a seller. For sellers, it is a great way to make some extra cash selling your designs and concepts, and it is fun to share our creativity with the world! As a buyer, there are so many unique items and designs available, on so many products! There are occasional quality issues, but their customer service has always been great, and whenever there has been an issue with an item, they are quick to send out a replacement at their expense. I highly recommend!
Thanks for the feedback, Stephen!
I used the option of Amazon pay on CafePress, and it didn't give me the option to review my shipping address... which I realized right as I hit the submit button. Reviewing the order, it had an old address that I no longer lived at.
Next day I called customer service to change the address but it had already shipped. They put in a new order with correct address at no charge!
They do need to fix the ability to check address with Amazon pay though.
We're glad we were able to help, Colleen. We'll definitely consider your suggestion about being able to modify the address imported from Amazon.
I have been using Cafe Press since my son's 2nd birthday! (He will be 7 in Dec.) He loves choosing a new birthday shirt and REALLY? COME ON GUYS... you can't find unique and personalized clothing like this by walking into stores so I am HAPPY to pay extra for shipping! I will keep ordering for him until he tells me to stop and I have slso ordered some of the marvel t-shirts too and love them
I hope more people who have had good experiences with this company take 5 min to write a good review.
I have NEVER had anything lost in the mail and I always try to order early in case there is a priblem with the delivery time process. After the packages go out it is out of Cafe Press's control and it seems like they have taken care of many customers out of the cost of their own money!
Thank you CAFE PRESS for offering cool and unique items for that special person in my life!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave feedback, Ashley! We are very glad to hear you are able to find great gifts on our site.
I never received the item I paid for. Instead, a lady from Croatia contacted me to tell me she had received it (she fund my name inside the package). I tried to contact Cafepress' customer service but it seems they do not accept emails... Very disappointed...
We're sorry for the shipping mishap, Maria. We see you contacted us on Twitter and a refund was processed for the order. If you need anything else, feel free to reach back out to us on social media!
I ordered a hoodie and received a crewneck by mistake, but I also ordered the wrong size. Not only did CafePress send the jumper in the right size, at no cost to me, but they waived the shipping fee and let us keep the crewneck as a gesture of goodwill. And... delivery was within days of ordering in both cases. Very happy with the product and delighted with the customer service!
We're glad we were able to help, Christine! Thanks for sharing your experience.
The high shipping costs are terrible wait for coupons before you order, otherwise i haven't had any problems except for the cost of shipping being so high.
Hey Brittany,
We appreciate your feedback on the shipping costs. We'll be sure to address this with the appropriate department.
I sent for, some greetings cards of Persian cats. Not only are the very poor quality but we're also damaged during shipping to the point the cards are unable to use. Waste of money
We're very sorry to hear this. We have a hassle-free return/exchange policy and we'd be glad to help. Please contact us via one of the methods below.

Since our first negative experience with the duvet for my son, we have received the replacement at no cost. This time the image is flawless and it arrived rather quickly. Although I prefer it be made if a different less heavy material, my son is happy and loves it! Glad I gave them another chance.
Thanks for working with us, Kristina!
Paid 15 for expedited shipping. They sent it parcel select. The thing where dhl hands it over to usps in about a month and then it gets lost.
I HATE CAFEPRESS! When someone pays big bucks for expedited shipping then they should at least use USPS first class mail!
USPS said parcel select is 4th class mail!
We definitely understand your concern regarding the shipping method. We'd be glad to look into this issue. Please call or email us and provide your 9 digit order number for further review.

Found a t-shirt I liked on CafePress & ordered it. Chose the least-expensive option for shipping. When I got to payment page, I assumed the option I chose was in place, & didn't find out til following page that it was a higher shipping charge that was applied. Received an e-mail order confirmation from CafePress. Could not go back on the site to change this, but since I'd chosen AmazonPayments for payment, I contacted it about this, the following day. The day following day after that, I get an e-mail from CafePress staing that my order has shipped.
Suffice to say that I cannot & do not recommend CafePress as a site to do any business at. Stay away from it. There are other places to get whatever CafePress sells, leave it alone.
We're very sorry to hear the shipping method you selected changed at checkout. Please contact us via one of the methods below and we'll investigate.

I purchased a license plate frame for $20 (plus $7 shipping). The logo on the two adhesive label strips was so blurry to be unrecognizable. The adhesive doesn't even fully stick to the cheaply fabricated metal frame, but curls up. A complete waste of money. I have ordered shirts from Café Press, but never again will I order from them. The garbage-y purchase arrived pretty quickly, though. Learned my lesson.
Hi Kris,

Answer: I believe the company did a great job on growth and promoting the "little guy" and November 2013 they changed policies, changed production, changed items and product quality and reduced shop owners commissions on their way to becoming greedy. They made the company a public traded entity on the stock market and was out for themselves. They got rich, the stocks fell, the products became of poor quality, and August of 2014 the president, CEO bailed out and left. To regroup they have tried to add companies like Marvel Comics, Snoopy and other big names to keep the losses from poring in, instead of supervising quality and buying a better quality product. If you want to see their spread sheet of losses, and their news headlines since please feel free.
