Yup, well it’s a site that I thought got wayyyy too much attention when it launched, and probably still does.  But part of the reason is that it only shipped to the US, so wasn’t of as much interest to me.Well now, finally, TeeFury ships to other countries.  Not quite ‘international’ as it’s only the six shown below - but it’s a good start.

I am confused about the charge though. On the front page of the site it shows $5, but then clicking on the link shows two options:

We are offering 2 shipping options for international orders:
$9 ShippingUSPS First-Class Mail International (2-4 weeks)No tracking.and
$24 ShippingUSPS Priority Mail International (7-14 business days)Full Tracking.

Oh yeah, they also announced that they are ‘partnering’ with Design By Humans as of today.  What that means, I expect, is that they will utilise many of the DBH rejects.

I just read a post by Andy on HideYourArms.com about Camiseteria.  He said it’s a site that people don’t blog about or mention enough, and he’s right.  The language barrier puts most people off, but as he says, it’s not too hard to work out what’s going on.  I reckon it’s because people can’t spell it!

I have gotten in the habit of reading tshirt blog posts (and vendors, and artists) almost daily in Google Reader.  I went through a mad phase a couple of weeks ago of adding any and every RSS feed I could find.  It’s a great way of browsing a large selection of sites regularly and I would thoroughly recommend it (if you want to subscribe to this blog, link is at the top of the page).

Anyway, to bring this post back to the subject (because there is one, honest … coming very soon), I noticed that one site that gets mentioned too much is teefury.com.  I guess it’s the nature of the site, fresh tee every day, limited stock, lots of buzz on sites like emptees, backing from DBH etc.  But I reckon I see about 8 blog posts every single day informing us about the new tee.

Take today’s for example, I don’t think it’s a great tee.  But there it is, multiple times in my reader.

Maybe in time the ‘buzz’ will quieten and it will become just another site, with tees of worth getting mentioned.

Maybe I take too little interest because the site doesn’t yet ship to the UK.  And because I think the concept could have been so much better if the tees were actually exclusive and one-off.  I’m not saying it’s a bad site at all, I love it.  It’s just way over-hyped at the moment.  In my opinion of course.
