The Internet is getting crowded. People are rushing in to create Internet business every day, and a big potion of them seem to be selling funny tshirts. It is getting quite hard to figure out who is worth buying from and who the unprofessional hacks really are. It almost seems that the only way to know for sure is to drop a wad of cash, buy something, and then hope that the experience goes well. I have found that if you are a patient and observant shopper, you can spot the different kinds of Internet salesman and discover the best kinds to buy from.
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 tee 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.
There are many, many people who are naive enough to believe that a business on the Internet is a failsafe way to make lots of cash. It is true that you have the advantage of low startup and overhead costs, but that does not ensure that you will get the traffic necessary to sell your funny t-shirts to the world. These business owners are usually young and don't have the dedication to work those extra hours and make the business venture work. These owners have no clue how much work will be required of them when they began, and they soon loose their drive to make it succeed in favor of beers and television.
Everyone has to start somewhere, though. There is a portion of these start-up Internet companies that will begin to grow. There is no luck involved in selling funny tee shirts on the Web. It takes lots of work and even more dedication. It takes late nights of marketing and early mornings of web design. It is difficult. A small portion of the lazy folks who thought starting the company would be easy will find the inner reserves of insight and strength, grit their teeth, and make it work. These are the best companies to deal with, because they will work extremely hard to retain return customers.
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 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.
These are, of course, just mild observations I've had through the years of scouting for funny tee shirts to buy. No one is perfect, but try your best to steer away from the sites that look bad. If there's one thing I've learned over the years of being on the Internet constantly, is that websites that are poorly designed or don't run as intended are no place to spend your money.
