Zazzle.com, I pit thee

Eventually someone might pit the phrase ‘I pit thee,’ won’t they? :wink:

Anyways, when you type in ‘make your own t-shirt’ into Google, the first online site that comes up is Zazzle. I’m sure plenty of you have some familiarity with it. I’ll say up front that I want to fend off angry posters who accuse me of all my problems- I agree with you. But there may be some problems with the site, all I’m saying? This is hardly a pit thread.

I tried to make a t-shirt like 2 weeks ago. First off the design process is not that simple. Each time I upload one of my 2 images, front of shirt and back, I had to restart my computer to get it to work :frowning: . Then, for the back of the shirt, it is nearly impossible, with their controls, to move my image where I want it and make it the size I want it in the size box I want it.

They have two different pages for this back image- Size and Move. Once I size the box and the image how I want it, when I go to Move, and move it twice, the box changes back to it’s smaller size! I just don’t get it… The thing is, somehow I got it just about right the first time I made my t-shirt, put in my credit card info, mailing address, billing address, and posting the shirt so others could purchase it too. But 2 weeks later it hadn’t arrived, by then they had removed my shirt from the public database (I got the memo on that, that’s okay), I go on the site, and although my account exists, and they have my address and billing address still, there’s no record of any purchase or any original t-shirt made. :eek:

I think Zazzle’s t-shirt maker has some issues to work out, all I’m saying. Use some other program, or don’t, I don’t want to get jumped on by Zazzle users.

slightly off topic but you might try cafepress.com . I’ve made a few items on the site. You won’t have as much control over size and placement which you appear to desire but it might be worth a look.

I’ve also heard good things about cafepress. Although I haven’t used it myself, a friend of mine did, and seemed completely satisfied.

And “I pit thee” and “In which I pit” have both been pitted, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop using it.
