How It Works

We sell custom designed t-shirts. Some, or most shall we say, at least for the moment, are designed by us or our staff. Others are designed by users or visitors of the site. (Please see the Submit Your Designs page for details) Some are funny, some are witty, some are provocative, some are political, some target specific groups, some may be geared at a particular fundraiser we're helping someone with, and some may be just plain weird... but that's the way we like it. You never know what you're going to get when you come to the site b/c the shirts change each and every day... Yup, everyday there will be a different t-shirt design and they'll switch right at or around midnight PST (we & our servers are not perfect you know).

So, you come to the site and you see a shirt you like. You think to yourself, hmm... It'd sure be swell if I could have and wear that shirt... so you decide you want to buy one for yourself. Well, it's not that hard. Just click the Add To Cart button and off you go. (Make sure you've selected the right size, type, and color first though) Checkout is conveniently provided by Google Checkout (our preferred method of payment) & PayPal for those diehards. Signing up for an account is quick and easy and then you can pay by credit card. Google Checkout and Paypal are both secure and provide us with fraud protection.

We'll ship your shirt to you via USPS Priority Mail and shipping is only $4.95 (for 1 item). We are also now offering First Class mail for 1 t-shirt orders for only $3.95. Either way, that means you pay the actual cost of shipping. There are no hidden shipping charges or crazy handling or packing fees. USPS charges us $4.95 to ship Priority Mail, so we charge you $4.95, not a penny more. For those ordering more than one item we do offer lower combined shipping rates according to the rates that USPS charges (based on weight). Two items are typically $8.70, 3 items 10.70, etc. Shirts of the day are considered custom orders and will typically ship within 2 weeks. Orders with clearance items only may ship sooner. You will be provided with a shipment notification at the time of shipment.

So how exactly does pricing work you ask? Or what's with that bar below the Starting Price, Refund and Price In The End? Well, that sliding amount on the bar is the Price in the End, or PITE as we like to call it. It shows you the price you ultimately pay, but that is not the amount we collect up front. Still confused? Of course you are, so here's how it works: Each shirt starts out with a Starting Price. That price is displayed at the top, below the date, to the left of the t-shirt image. That is the price everyone pays up front when placing an order. As more people come to the site and decide to buy a shirt, the PITE moves to the left, and the ultimate price you pay goes down... The refund you will receive is shown below the price is in red. This is the difference between the Price and the PITE. Within 24-48 hours of the close of that shirt we refund you the difference. So, let's say a shirt starts out at $12.99... and after everything is said and done the ultimate price you pay is showing as only $9.99. Well, within the next 24-48 hours we'll issue you a refund of $3.00 back to your credit card (or PayPal account). It's that simple. No silly credits to your account with us. You simply get your money back.

Occasionally we will hit the Max Refund. Once that happens you'll simply be charged the Price In The End (PITE) and you won't be receiving any refund. It's very rare, and has only happened twice so far. Yes, it means we sold a lot of shirts that day.

So what does that mean for you? Well, the more people that buy a shirt, the less you pay. It's that simple. So, if you decide you want to order a shirt, then let's be honest here... it pays for you to convince every single person you know to also purchase that shirt because it will lower the cost of that shirt for you... Is that selfish or greedy? We think not...

So how much does the Price in the End, or PITE, change with each and every order? Well, unfortunately we're not going to tell you that one... that's part of our secret formula, which is part of our secret plan, which is part of our secret strategy, which is part of our secret mission, which is... You get the picture. But, we welcome you to watch and we also welcome you to try and figure it out for yourselves.

Unfortunately, we do not allow returns, refunds or exchanges for shirts of the day. Each shirt that is purchased as part of the shirt of the day is a custom order. That's because we allow you to pick your color, size, and type. So, we collect your orders, order the blanks, print the shirts and then ship them out to you. Since each shirt is a custom order, and we don't have them sitting around here, we cannot accept returns, refunds or exchanges. Now if there is something wrong with your shirt, or you receive the wrong shirt (that pretty much never happens) we will gladly replace it, but will require that you contact us and include a picture of what is wrong and return any incorrectly received shirts. You must also retain the original packaging in this case as we are not responsible for shirts damaged by the USPS or your incorrect opening of the envelope (with a knife, scissors, screwdriver, etc.). If you purchase a shirt from the warehouse you may return or exchange it if it is unworn, unwashed, and you ship it back to us.
