How Do You Pick A Good Place To Buy Funny T-Shirts?

By Josh York


There is no denying that funny t-shirts are a huge industry on the Internet. They are easy to make, inexpensive to buy, and make great gifts. People love their funny t-shirts and there are plenty of customers to share amongst the top sellers on the Web. The problem is that this seems to be common knowledge and every schmuck who thinks they can make a dollar online, seems to decide that the best way to do that is by making their own funny t-shirts website. Here are a few descriptions of the various owners of these sites that you may find during your Internet wanderings.

The most obvious type that you'll notice are the sites that are run by huge companies that own dozens, if not hundreds of different websites. These sites are extremely professional, but tend to be a bit impersonal when it comes to dealing with customer complaints or problems. They also tend to only release funny t-shirts that are already popular on other sites, so you'll never really find anything new or inspired from them. Expect great quality, slow shipping, and low levels of customer support.

On the far end of companies like Wal-Mart are the local stores. The funny t-shirts industry has a niche like this to fill as well. There are people who want to start a company and are attracted to how little capital it takes to begin, but they soon find out that this is no place for someone like a college kid with other priorities in their life. Making money online in any field takes an enormous amount of effort, sweat, and late work days. You cannot win this race without running as hard as you can, and many of these amateur sites are doomed to fail before they even begin.

There is a silver lining to that dark cloud I just cast over the funny t-shirts industry. There are a few folks who will understand how much effort it is going to take to make their new company bloom and bear fruit. These are the companies that you want to find and buy from. You'll get an awesome funny t-shirt, speedy shipping, and wonderful customer relations. These companies want people to keep coming back for more shirts, so they establish relationships with their customers. In the world of faceless Internet companies, this is a rare gem.

There is a darker side to the Internet that anyone who has spent any amount of time browsing it will know exists in abundance. The world of funny t-shirts is not spared the corruption of shady business owners. You can usually spot these vendors from the poor design of their pages and also by the very familiar look of their t-shirts. Imagine paying $20 for a new funny t-shirt, going to a large department store, and seeing it on sale there for $5. As conniving as this may seem, it happens all the time. The only defense is a good common sense and research, so be careful.

I have bought way more than my fair share of stupid, funny t-shirts on the Internet in my lifetime. I've been screwed over a few times by bad website administrators who have sold be terrible shirts that seem to melt in the sunshine and in the wash. I've also found really great places to buy my funny t-shirts that I will return to again and again. Use your common sense when looking at sites for funny t-shirts, and you should do fine.
