ThreadlessReviews of threadless.com

I purchased 10 shirts 6 months ago, I tend to make this purchase every couple of years with Threadless as the quality was so high they would last for a long time. This time round the quality was atrocious. I had to get multiple shirts replaced twice due to poor quality fabric and misprinted designs. To be fair the staff were really helpful and pretty quick to try to fix things, although shipping to New Zealand is a slow process. After 6 months the shirts from this year's order have all started to deteriorate. I probably wear each shirt once every 2 weeks. One shirt neck ripped when I was taking it off a few nights ago. One shirt is pilling horribly, another has a hole in it, and most of the shirts are starting to fade and feel thin and weak. They did upgrade a couple of the shirts and they are slightly better. For $10 a shirt I can probably reconcile the poor quality. I guess the biggest issue is that the quality of Threadless products just used to be so good. The ones with the blue fabric stripe on the inside of the back of the neck. I have Threadless shirts 4+ years old that I use when doing yard work etc and they are still in better condition than the most recent ones. I see most of the negative reviews on here are older customers like me who have a high expectation of the quality of the products. The reviews on their own website tend to be much better, but I do note they have turned off the reviews on their Facebook page. I really did love the Threadless brand so will be watching these trustpilot reviews to see if they can turn things around, but for now I can't see myself placing another order...

Just wondering what's happening with my order. The site said it should only take 2-4 days for my user to be shipped. I bought 3 shirts on the 145th of June. Its going on the 5th day now with no change on my order. After seeing all the bad reviews I'm not sure if my order will even go threw now. Can you explain why it seems to be taking longer to get an idea of my shirts will be sent to me? Order # 6773996

I ordered 6 regular shirts in M. The 3 black ones were the same size, the others were white, blue and grey and all fitted differently. How is that even possible?

THE SHIRTS DO NOT LAST. I literally wore one of my shirts for a a total of 3 times before the sleeve was wripped off. The white shirt I had faded after ONE wash. I'm not joking--it faded badly. KEEP IN MIND each shirt is TWENTY DOLLARS. That's name brand pricing and no where near the same quality. These shirts have okayish fabric--nothing special. The designs are amazing and enticing but trust me--they will not last long. IMO--Not worth the purchase unless you want to just stare at some art work on a tshirt and not wear it OR you have IDGAF money to throw 20 dollars away.

This is a very sad result of a great website. Bought shirts awhile back that are still in great shape however I just bought some for xmas 2018 and the quality is unwearable. The print is falling off discoloured and the fabric is less than to be desired. I would give this a 1 star but 4 of the 8 things I bought were okay and at least wearable. but a 50% rate for 20$ Canadian shirts is not worth the money. Will not buy from again.

Low quality shirts -- seeking refund (Got a reply from the company, am currently being issued a full refund) Image gallery: imgur(dot)com/a/16WjCqR I was an active customer at Threadless beginning over 10 years ago back in high school when the community was small and I spent hours rating and reviewing artist-submitted designs. I spent at least a few hundred dollars on shirts back then, but I haven't bought anything in recent years. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I just re-discovered the site and saw that they now print loads more shirts on demand, and I was drawn in by their $10 black tee sale for Black Friday, so I picked up a couple shirts for under $30. I couldn't believe how different the print quality is now. If I'd only gotten one shirt and it looked like this, I may have just excused it as a one-off misprint...but both shirts are nothing like their designs featured in the advertisements. The loss of detail and color is astounding. The designs are also so poorly printed on the fabric that I can peel off part of the ink with my fingernails. The fabric itself feels cheap, and I wouldn't wear it even if the shirt were blank. Looking through online reviews, it's clear I'm not the only one who's ended up with shirts like this. I can't really convey how disappointed I am given how important Threadless was to me back in the day in exploring other people's art and finding a niche for my own style of clothing and expression. I would just like to be able to return these for my money back.

Shirt quality seems bad... my freshly arrived shirt already seems stretched out. Looks to be printed ok though I guess...

Just got my order and despite having used the suggested image size, they still cut things off. They also gave me two different sizes even though I ordered the same sizes (2 shirts total). On top of all of that, the print quality was below expectation and I didn't even receive an order slip in case I needed to return it. I've ordered shirts from Threadless before and this is by far the most disappointing shipment yet. I have since removed all of my designs from my artist shop and will not being using Threadless again. The quality is terrible as far as Artist Shops go. ---- [UPDATE 11/7/18] Working things out with Threadless currently. Will edit my review accordingly at a later time. I have reduced the design size within the recommended image field in hopes of my designs not being cut off in the future. ---- [UPDATE 11/10/18] I'm getting another shipment, free of charge. I will update once I receive the shirts to compare their quality to my first order. ---- [UPDATE 11/17/18] Alright folks! Received my shipment of supposed 'better quality' t-shirts and I'm not impressed. Thankfully, since I reduced the image size, nothing was cut off, however, the actual color printing on the shirts themselves were dismal. Comparing from my first initial shipment, On one design (the one that first was rather nice) the colors were faded significantly on top of one being able to see the streaks from the printing process. In fact, all sense of highlights were lost in this printing! The design that had a quarter of it chopped off before looked fine, but then I did the wash test. I turned the shirts inside out, followed instructions, and then I looked over the designs again after drying. The faded, was already meh to begin with, so I didn't really care at this point. However, the one that had promise now had streaks and warped tiny bits of ink falling off. It was something rather tiny so one might not even notice....if I didn't already have the shirts from my first shipment to compare it to! And those two shirts from my first shipment had been washed a few times already AND THEY LOOKED BETTER THAN THE RESHIPMENT! You know what else I did? I ordered a test shirt from Society6 of one of the same designs on the same shirt material. Triblend to be exact! And guess what? Their printing was more vibrant and the design didn't start streaking after the first wash. My mom ordered a few shirts from my Threadless shop, so I will be comparing our results when I go to visit next week. Perhaps customers get better printing quality? It'll be tough, because she ordered pullover hoodies of different designs, so we'll see. That said, I will update again for anyone curious. Overall, it's not looking good for Threadless artist shops. ---- [UPDATE 2/24/19] Apologies for not having updated this in a long time! I got busy packing and with the moving process that I forgot about this for awhile. Anyhow... The pullover hoodies that my mom ordered had a better print quality than what I received on the shirts I ordered and was resent. So I'm not sure if the quality of print is low for the creator vs customers? Either way, it was strange. Here's to hoping Threadless can figure out a better system to offer consistent quality rather than it being so random.Oh! And pertaining to return slips, they don't give you one because they don't require you to return the item in order to receive a refund. At least, not in my case. Instead, they require photo proof before sending a full refund. I hope this review helps!
