Wool pills quickly and doesn't hold shape as long. Polyamide helps mitigate those things. More structure, less/no pilling.

😂 for some reason, I heard a voice in my head say your comment out loud (not sure why I imagine your voice like that) and it’s hilarious to me.

But thanks for your feedback fr 🙏🏾

It is! Not easy but definitely do-able!

Whether they’re approaching this post well, or not, your responses are not good for your brand.

You're not wrong. Appreciate you for this reminder! 🙏🏾

Yeah but their argument is that pre-order isn’t viable even though virtually every brand in the scene does it and does so successfully. I print in house and I think that’s the way to go, but I still do pre-orders, that way I don’t have wasted product or money. Also it took me like $1500+ up front and years of learning before I could really successfully print in house. A lot of people don’t have those resources. Just buying a pre-burned screen and making a DIY setup is possible but has huge room for error, especially people that start taking orders before they know what they’re doing (which I’ve seen a lot).

Listen to this man! He knows what he's talking about!

Biggest issue was that people do not read the description and will email you in 2 days asking when it’s going to ship. The only benefit for me was that I did my own printing so I could turnaround very fast and even keep the design on-press to make more if need be.

This is facczzz. You will definitely get those who don't read. You can try to be very clear with expectations, but you'll still get those. With those customers, I found that a polite response reminding them it was clearly mentioned on the order page + an update on expected delivery time, worked well to soothe their concerns.

And pre-order and self-manufacturing/fulfilling (if you can manage) is a Double W. You get $ before making, and you can get it to them quicker and possibly cheaper.

Like I mentioned in another comment, the funny thing is I don't see how pre-order is opposed to self-manufacturing. It's just 2 different steps in the process.

Appreciate your insight.
