UNEETEE COOL T-SHIRTS





I love to wear t-shirts. Unfortunately, I loved a couple of my favorite shirts a little too much and now they're full of holes and covered with stains. The other day, I went online to see if I could find myself a couple of new t-shirts so I could retire the holey stained ones. I'm happy to report that my mission became a success when I found Uneetee Online Store!

Uneetee.com is a cool store that showcases t-shirts designed by artists. The artist submits a design and it gets voted on. Each day, a different shirt is featured starting at 12:00am MST and is sold for just one day or until it's sold out, whichever comes first. Additionally, several other shirts featured in the Collection are also made available for a limited time. What you see is what you get. The shirts can be ordered in male or female styles, but there's no choice of colors. Shirts that are featured as one day designs are sold in limited quantities; only three can be purchased at a time. This ensures that the shirts stay unique and don't get mass produced. Every Sunday, Uneetee.com reruns a One Day t-shirt that was posted in the past. It pays to check out the site on Sundays in case you miss a cool design.

So the other day, I found two t-shirts that I liked. Both shirts were in the Collection section of Uneetee.com, which means they're available for longer than one day. I clicked on the pictures for the designs that I liked and noted how much each artist had made. To the right of the picture were size bars that visually showed how many shirts were left in each size. I had never seen that before and I think it's pretty cool. It gives users an idea of how urgent their buying decision is liable to be! Remember, the emphasis here is keeping things original. Once each size is sold out, it's gone. Every once in awhile, Uneetee.com also features a mystery shirt, which is kind of a grabbag deal. You buy the shirt sight unseen and it could be an awesome design or something crappy. I guess that deal appeals to risk takers. I haven't seen them offer a mystery shirt yet, so I can't comment much on that.

Prices, styles, and sizes

Shirts cost anywhere from $13 to $17. It seems the One Day Designs are less expensive; designs that are in the Collection are slightly more expensive. Women's style shirts are more fitted with shorter cap sleeves and they cost $2 more than men's style shirts. The shirts come in sizes ranging from small to extra large. Men's shirts also come in XXL, but Uneetee.com charges $2 more for that size, making XXL the same price as women's style shirts. I like big shirts and don't really care about having a fitted shirt, so I ordered two men's style shirts in extra large.

Purchasing and shipping

Purchasing my shirts was easy. I picked the two designs I liked, chose the style and size, and entered my billing and shipping information. Uneetee.com charges $4 shipping for the first shirt and $2 for each additional shirt. I made my purchase on Tuesday, May 8th and immediately got a confirmation email. My new shirts arrived via the U.S. Postal Service yesterday, May 11th, though the estimated arrival was between seven and ten business days.. They were well packed in a plastic mail pouch. I was very pleased with the quality of the shirts, which were constructed of 100% pre-shrunk heavy duty cotton. The designs were silkscreened on the t-shirts and they looked great. Uneetee.com also accepts international orders. They charge a flat rate of $9 shipping for the first shirt and $3 for each additional shirt. Please allow 15 to 30 business days for the shirts to arrive.

Returns

Sales of shirts in the One Day category are final because they are unique. The only exception is if the item received is incorrect and it's Uneetee.com's mistake. In that case, once the item is returned, they will issue a full credit for the item as well as the shipping and return shipping charges. Shirts from the Collection category can be exchanged or returned for a full refund.

Sales support

Currently, Uneetee.com can only be contacted by email. I didn't have a need to contact them regarding my order, so I can't comment on how responsive they are. They do promise to answer all emails within 24 to 48 hours.

I think Uneetee.com could easily become an addiction for me. I love fun t-shirts and prefer to wear t-shirts above all else. I have a feeling I'll be keeping an eye on this site and adding to my t-shirt collection with some funky new designs. And hey, if you're an artist who wants to submit designs to Uneetee.com, you should check out their Web site for submission guidelines! As for me, I think I'll stick to buying t-shirts!
