Are there any alternatives to Threadless? Tees from my last order have a completely horrible quality.

Is there a good company to order printed t shirts?
You may also want to look locally. I came across a place that is local to me whose prices are competitive with CustomInk and it's nice to support the local business. Also no shipping. I'm sure they also do remote orders, so you can check them out too: http://eastcoastembroidery.com/

Expanding on that - what's your go-to T-shirt shop inside the EU? Ordering from Threadless (US) to the EU is quite expensive (shipping + taxes) and I haven't found a quality EU alternative yet.

EDIT: Limited production runs (maybe originally needed because of printing tech, but also a possible marketing move) where also quite popular for a while.
I really loved Threadless back in the day and this was an interesting read. While it did a good job of covering what changes Threadless made that ultimately changed the culture around it and led to its fall, it didn't cover the why. Was their model no longer profitable? Were they facing outside competition (and what was that competition doing better?). Did they take money and have to grow big / fast and therefore sta…
There is https://www.qwertee.com for more "nerd-oriented" stuff. But I never used them, only looked at some designs.
