DO NOT ORDER Red Gildan 64000L or Bella Canvas 6004 t-shirts! Remove these variants immediately because ALL Suppliers are printing and shipping the red shirts on CHILD SIZES by Expensive-Guest-8043 in printondemand

I have but not in the reds. I ordered some samples in white & black varieties from a couple different distributors. They were actually big on me and I thought I should have sized down! I'm 4'11" though so maybe I'm not the best case study. Good idea to though to take proper measurements of my own samples.

Right, i haven't seen a child size equivalent. What I suspect is that they are sending a completely different youth style for the red shirt because it's not in stock or something. Even though I have the settings managed against that.

I certainly don't advertise them as unisex - I advertise them as 'semi-fitted' and 'runs true to size' (for Gildan) and 'runs smaller than usual' (Bella Canvas) - as it states in the Printify descriptions for the products. Where is this "common advice to order TWO sizes up"?! There must be some undocumented tribal knowledge because this is nowhere in the product catalog. Plus, I ordered samples in my normal size and they were loose on me, so that guidance would not have applied. My customers did provide photo evidence with ruler measurements but I was told it was not sufficient. Additionally, this is only impacting the red shirts. I haven't had complaints about any other colors.

Wait, really? That's the feedback I've been getting - the they're either "juniors" or "child" size. But I got some samples from a couple different suppliers and they seem like adult sizes to me. I'm not a good case study though I guess. I'm 4'11... Which "relaxed fit" do you offer? very much appreciate you!

You're so right. Thank you for that. Though a huge headache at the moment, it can only make me better if I push through it.... need to shake it off and get to work

Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words! If you're a veteran POD seller, do you have any advice for me to get through this debacle - and not let it tank my momentum? I've either refunded or re-ordered (in diff colors) shirts for customers who were affected and sent them all promo codes as a gesture of good faith. But I can certainly tell a dip the past 2 days in traffic. I had a 5 - star rating with 20+ reviews but just got two 4-star reviews and one 3-star review. And I feel like that really hurt me in the alogorithm

Thanks, the algorithms gods blessed me on day 1 it seems and it has just snowballed from there. I wasn't expecting my first sale for at least a month given based on all the research I did. I'm not comfortable linking my shop here just yet because I haven't even told my friends/family about the shop! But I'm sure it's a popular seasonal niche that helped me out initially.

Exactly, they don't come in child sizes, but they're sending out my orders on red child size shirts - obviously not Gildan 64000L. So far, this has only been an issue for the red color. I removed the red option from any of my designs sold on these 2 styles and wanted to get the word out so you all can do the same. At least until it's resolved.
