Redbubble Reviews Summary

Redbubble's reputation is increasingly marred by significant concerns regarding its customer service and fee structure. Many artists express frustration over high deductions from earnings and a lack of transparency in the new tier system, which they feel undermines their profitability. Customers frequently report issues with product quality, including defective items and poor print resolution, alongside unreliable shipping and inadequate support when seeking resolutions. While some users appreciate the variety and quality of certain products, the overall sentiment suggests a declining trust in the platform, prompting many to consider alternative options for their creative endeavors.

AMAZING Customer Service
December 12, 2017

Ordered a T-shirt for my boyfriend for Christmas... turns out the size I ordered was too small! (but amazing quality) Sent in a request for a larger size and they are sending me a replacement and letting me keep the smaller one free! Will definitely use this service again. Shipping was fast too!

I paid extra to have two tees delivered by 12/8. It is now 12/9 and when I checked the status, the items are still in production. They will not be here in time for the 12/11 party I needed them for. Why did I pay extra for a 12/8 delivery when they can't even get them out the door?

When they sent me the wrong order, they REFUSED to make it right and overnight the correct order. I had to wait another week, so that it was WAY overdue. The customer service rep didnt' even seem to understand or care what I was typing (since there is no phone number to call anyone) half of the time. They just didn't want to spend the money to overnight the correct order to make it right. I will NEVER order from them again.

Hi Jenny,

We're so sorry for the trouble this caused.

Because every purchase is made to order, it may take as many as 3 business days to print and ship your purchase. This is why we unfortunately cannot offer overnight shipping at this time.

To help make things right, someone from our team will be in touch with you via email shortly. If you have any other concerns, please let is know.

I ordered a T-shirt as a gift. The Artist is a friend, so I jumped at the chance to purchase this.
The Tee arrived really quickly and that is as far as it goes. The quality of the Tee, I've seen better in the cheap $$$ stores. As the the print quality, it was awful, blurry, the text is blurry, nothing like the image portrayed on the website.

Totally disheartening for the Artist as I know this particular artist is fantastic, but the shoddy print quality from Redbubble is... well, no words.

I have submitted a request to return for a refund as it is just embarrassing.

I ordered my item and it indicated it will be delivered on a certain date. I talked to a representative on live chat, he confirmed it will be shipped within 48 hours. I went on the live chat again after 2 business days. The representative said he's not sure when it will be shipped. I asked him to follow up with production and then I received an email shortly after saying there's a delay and will be shipped 5 business days after my expected delivery.

How can one confirm it will be shipped within 48 hours and then have a 5 business days delay.

I am still waiting for my item

I am on their email list, and it said, All stickers 50% off, and so I proceeded to spend over a couple of hours carefully choosing some stickers that I was going to use on a project. All thru the process, a pop up window would come up and say, Buy 3 more, and your order will be 50% off and I was excited that I was geting rewarded for buying more stickers! I got to the checkout, and no 50% off code was provided, and my order came out to over $979 for some stickers. So I thought, No big deal, write customer service, and theyll handle it. Kayla, from customer service, writes me back, and says, sorry, but the 50% off is for small stickers only, but Ill be happy to discount your order 20%, would you like to proceed with this order? I told her about my experience and the misleading advertising, and she didnt see it my way, so I cancelled the order. My way of thinking is wouldnt you rather have $480 dollars and a happy customer, than no money, and a cancelled order, and a customer writing you a bad review? Apparently those stickers are pretty sacred to them. Id think the margins on stickers are pretty high and why not make the sale, especially after I had ordered some from them 2 times before placing this order? What happened to the words customer service? They lost a customer today, and over what? Some stinkin stickers! How crazy is that!?

A previous reviewer wrote: "The shipping of the product was extemely slow. If you have a deadline to meet, not likely you will receive the product when they said it would arrive. The shipping information on the site is not true..." and I wholeheartedly agree with this review. I ordered a product to give as a gift at a holiday party on December 8th. When I ordered, the delivery date said December 5-7, which worked out great for me! If it hadn't, I would have paid for express shipping! However, the item did not ship until nearly a week after I placed the order (despite the website saying production is approx. 3 business days). When production seemed slow, I reached out to customer service to see if the Dec. 5-7 estimate was still guaranteed and they assured me it was. Now, on Dec. 5, my tracking says estimated delivery on Dec. 9th, 2 days after the delivery listed on the site and too late for the occasion I needed the product for! When I reached out to customer service AGAIN, they essentially said "too bad!" and told me that the "deadline" (?) for my shipment is December 15th. What does this even mean?! Either way, the representations made on the site were false, the shipping is slow, and the service is poor. Such a bummer because the products seem great.

The shipping of the product was extemely slow. If you have a deadline to meet, not likely you will receive the product when they said it would arrive. The shipping information on the site is not true. Based on the Rebubble site it was already on its way, when I called Fedex they said they haven't received the package. Rebubble creates the label to show they are making progress but in my case the status hasn't changed for 7 days now. I cancelled my order now because the event was 2 days ago and the product still hasn't left Rebubble.

I think I'm done with this site. The T-shirt I ordered was of mediocre quality, particularly for the price. And the stickers? Call me naive. Call me foolish. But when they were described as, "Removable, individually die-cut vinyl... Ideal for smooth flat surfaces like laptops, journals, windows, etc." AND I saw that they cost anywhere from $2.79 to over $15 APIECE depending on size, PLUS shipping, I was at least expecting something thick and substantial. No, it truly just a sticker. A paper sticker. Be careful peeling -- you might rip your big purchase. Could not be more disappointed on that one.

Rada solves the problem, but it was unnecessary of her to tell me that the code had expired and that she is making a one time exception. The code application was malfunctioning which is why Alex told me to re-order and then call you guys back so you could make the adjustment. Her one time exception was actually offensive, and unnecessary in context of the situation.

I was told on the website I'd receive my shipment on the 17th. Then when my receipt said I'd receive it on the 20th I contacted customer service and they said I'd receive it on the 17th. I then got a notice of shipment on the 14th but the order didn't actually ship until the 16th (without ANY notice) thereby completely screwing up the plan on getting it on the 17th.

I contacted Redbubble 5 times and I only heard back twice, once I emailed back with the details they asked for and I never even heard back from them. Not only that but it's a Thursday and the twitter direct message was closed till Tuesday.

Absolutely terrible experience.
