“Print quality of the stickers is atrocious - lots of color bleeding and blurry artifacts. The matte laminated finish does not inspire confidence either, remains to be seen how they hold up.”
“The recent order my husband placed with Redbubble was a total disappointment. This isn't our first bad experience. The last order we placed, they sent the wrong bathmat; they said not to worry about returning it and they would send the correct one. They never did and eventually we were able to get our money back although it was a feat in itself trying to find a way to contact them. The latest order was for some t-shirts. It was a re-order of a t-shirt design I liked but, upon receipt today, the print job was noticeably poor compared to the first shirt I received from them a couple of years ago. The first shirt has been through the wash numerous times but the print job still looks better than the brand new one I just received. The colors are totally flat and wrong compared to what it should be. We will never order anything from Redbubble again. They obviously don't care about print quality or customer retention.”
“I bought a sweatshirt from Redbubble. First, it took over one month for my order to arrive. Then the design on my sweatshirt disappeared after ONE wash. I washed it inside out in cold water on a normal cycle in my washing machine. I could have spent a lot less on a plain black sweatshirt at Walmart and it would look better.”
“As an artist I opened an account yesterday and was suspended within 24 hours, without any definitive reason. I had to send a mugshot, like a common criminal, in order to try and get my account reinstated. After reading other artist's stories on here, as well as customers, I'm glad this happened and I'd only uploaded a handful of images. I won't be dealing with them in future as an artist, nor a customer.”
“I have spent $$$ at Redbubble, and worked on two stores, and interviewed for a job with them, but I would never shop at Redbubble again after they closed one of my stores without notice or giving any reason, even after I made contact and asked about it. It's absolutely unacceptable. This is the worst customer experience possible, they just destroy your hard work without explanation or notice.”
“As I typically do, I neglected to read any reviews of a site I had never done business with until after my order had already been placed (brilliant, I know). With that said, I was a bit skeptical after reading all the negative comments posted here. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when both shirts arrived approximately a week ahead of the scheduled delivery date and seem to be exactly as advertised. I did the "new clothing" wash that I do with any clothing that I buy online and I have seen no evidence of the deterioration of fabric noted by other reviewers. Granted, it was a single wash so I reserve the 5th star contingent on future washings but I have to say, the shirts look awesome and I have never found anything like these designs available before (designs replicating flyers for early 80s hardcore band shows...a niche market that is letting me relive a little of my misspent youth!). If I have any issues with deterioration I will post again, but for now, I am so happy that I found place that sells this kinda stuff. I know that every dissatisfied customer leaves a review while most satisfied customers don't bother (including me) but I really like these shirts so this review serves as my 2 cents. Would I buy again from these guys? Hell yeah, I've never seen this type of thing available before. Just waiting for an Angry Samoans flyer shirt to be offered and I'll be the first to preorder!”
“Ive been using redubble for years and when i had trouble they sent me another shirt for the bad ones, but now they didnt use underbase on the 4 shirts i ordered and they say its bcs its in neon color so thats why its dark (a lie)
Underbase is a white coat so you can print the colors and actually see them on dark shirts
They gave me a coupon for the full price, but what the hell, do they use underbase or it was a mistake, because i dont want to get shirts which designs can be barely seen”
“Redbubble support is a joke. I filled a complaint because my work was coppied by other artists. And following my own complaint Redbubble deleted my own design! I filled the counter notice, described the situation and provided my document for verification, but there is no reply at all after 2 weeks! And my stolen design is again coppied by others!”
“What started out as a great site, easy to navigate and get your store up and running turned out to be the complete opposite!
The remove your artwork without any explanation, yet they allow obvious copyright artwork to be sold on their site. Like many of the others have experienced, Redbubble DOES NOT respond back to you 99% of the time. And when they, they just send out a form letter with ZERO explanation.
It is sad that they have a monopoly compared to other similar sites.”
“Ordered things 5+ times and have never once received it on time. It always “gets lost” and the re-shipped
Customer service offers nothing but excuses and little to no assistance to make a situation right. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.”
“Theifs theifs theifs I bought a T.shirt from them 1 month ago I've ask for a refund never got it back sent back the T.shirts so they have my money and T.shirt never again.”
“Redbubble used to be really good quality, but the last two times I ordered from them their stuff is worse than a lot of free t-shirts I've received at events. Within one single wash (in cold water, inside out, hang dried) the print was already shredding. I've only washed it three times now and it's not even recognizable. Years ago, the shirts were from a different manufacturer called Canvas and they fit well, and held the print for a long time and were accurately sized more or less. Since then, they've switched to Gildan and the quality if horrendous. Scratchy cotton, sizes are legitimately all over the place and you don't even end up with the same style of cut despite ordering the same style tee.
I don't know if this is an issue with their Canada supplier, as I know they outsource the printing to various warehouses but it's so terrible now I legitimately will never order from them again. The only reason it's 2 stars is because after complaining to them I received a full refund after sending them pictures of the horrendous quality.
Don't waste your money if you're ordering shirts.”
“Bought a tank that I received feb 2021 and the print on it is rubbed off and left with a basic black tank for 20 something bucks...there are no words to express my disappointment”
“Absolute trash company. ZERO customer service. They have made it impossible for people to contact actual employees. If your order is screwed up...... guess what.... you just gave them money that you will never get back. Congrats.”
“Purchased a Barney sweat shirt for a Christmas gift. The last time it was washed, the shirt came out with the logo gone. Sent info to company but stated it was out of return period. I have never had a transfer just disappear. As a company you would think they would want to please the customer, its not this company. I would stay away if you want a transfer to last more than a couple months. I wish I could put up picture of shirt. There is only a few white spots on a black sweat shirt. This item was not even worn much.”
“Red Bubble is a trash website that censors anything that they don't politically align with. People working here are pathetic losers... How do you say you're for artists when you censor everything?”
“Had a fraudulent charge on my credit card. Redbubble refused to provide me with the transaction details and referred me instead to the police. Even though my own card was used for the fraudulent purchase!”
