Do you ship internationally?

They do, but it's an extra 8.95

Interesting- we are starting to see more and more APIs that interface with real physical objects. Is this the new advent of APIs? Am i going to be able to purchase a pizza delivery whilst printing a shirt and having my car unlock for the car wash guy all from my phone as I'm heading home. What other real life APIs are there available atm?

Here's an undocumented API for 'The Nest' thermostat: http://www.wiredprairie.us/blog/index.php/archives/1442

A quick look at programmable web turns up this... https://xively.com/

so is this like https://www.startupthreads.com/ where you can integrate with them to send t-shirts to clients or community members?

The Model S has a basic, REST-ish API: https://github.com/timdorr/model-s-api

Stripe wants their web design back

You should probably talk to PayPal first...

... really not sure where to go with this particular comment. shirts.io would appear to be using Bootstrap, which will give a common popular minimalist style to their site - of which Stripe is a good example (but I don't think they use Bootstrap). However, I'm not really seeing anything on their site that immediately screams 'We cribbed our design from Stripe'. Do you have something you can point to?

Apparently they've been accused of copycat designs before. http://www.t-shirttalk.com/2012/06/15/dont-clone-a-t-shirt-c...

I'm not sure it matters a whole lot though. Great artists steal and everything...

I instantly thought of Stripe when I saw this site as well.

But are the shirts any good? No mention of material or examples of how one might look.
