    Thank you for letting me know about this web site. I just ordered 3 t shirts for £16.74 delivered!! Some nice tees on there, saved to my favouries for future reference :)
  • Sometimes it tries to charge postage of $15 for 3 tshirts, sometimes $9. If you get $15 try adding only 2 to your basket, then make the quantity of one of those 2 - total of 3 shirts should give you $9 postage. Then add the third shirt you actually want and take the duplicate one off. Postage should stay at $9 instead of $15. HTH.


    just ordered 3 t shirts, but could only get postage at 15 dollars, no matter how much fiddling about I did!! (maybe that was a temporary glitch on the site?)

    Are these good quality? Is the print that stuff that cracks after a couple of washes?

    The tshirts are a little thin and probably won't last for years. but the print quality is great and they wash fine.

    Thanks for the info about VAT only charged if the cost of goods, not postage, is over £18. I haven't bought anything from Threadless since the exchange rate dived. Finally got my hands on the Communist Party for $10!

    The T shirts are great (in my opinion) - good quality cotton, thin but not clingy (so not too hot to wear in summer), neck not too high, sleeves not too short, nice and long, slightly fitted shape (girly Ts that is), seem to wash and wear well. I bought a few last spring and wore them all summer, they are all still good. Before I found Threadless I hadn't bought a T shirt in the UK for about 4 years, couldn't find any with the right shape/fabric/design.

    Postage showed as $9 while I was ordering but changed to $15 once I started the payment process. I have ordered $25 worth (4 Ts)- sailing close to the wind, I hope I don't get hit for VAT + big handling charge from the Post Office.

    Also I noticed that I got a different selection each time I looked at the available Ts, so it's worth spending a while browsing to see what they have in your size

    I too can echo that the t-shirts are good quality and well printed.

    I ordered from them a year or two ago. Designs are really good but the customs charge was about £5 per tshirt so needs taking into account.

    Only if you spend more than £18. At the current exchange rate you could get away with buying five $5 shirts (about £17) without being troubled by customs charges.

    I had to go pick up my t-shirts today, I wasn't aware of the customs duty and ordered 8 at $40 value. I don't really mind paying the £4.29 on the customs but then the £8 for the international post office fee seems extortionate, that's an extra 25% of the cost of my whole order and they didn't even deliver, I had to go to the depot to pick it up, what exactly was I paying for?

    Great t-shirts though :)

    I ordered $25 (nearly £18) of T shirts and didn't get charged any customs duty or VAT

    Yep, that's because the limit for goods ordered from outside the EU is £18.
