Seems to be plagued with issues. Customers and sellers pretty unhappy. Who knew?

Ranging from garment/print quality, shipping, terms, payment to sellers, ripoffs, campaigns discontinued, inconsistent policies etc. Not Just the factory its all over. The had to hire someone full time to address all issues. And she spends most of her time apologizing

A LOT of probably-not-very-well-maintained equipment if I had to guess.  Perhaps they are an anomaly in that they have issues everywhere except maintaining the equipment but I doubt it.  Most shops that are bad at any of the more important aspects of running a business are bad at all of them.

Not to defend them, but one can find a crap ton of people who HATE Ford Trucks and have had trouble with Ford Trucks. Yet its the best selling truck on the planet.  Keep that in mind.

Last pics I saw of their new factory were a bunch of MHM presses, Adelco dryers, ZUND CTS machines, and Image Technology for exposure/rinseout as well as reclaim.

Their short comings make it easier for us to make money...

I don't see much in common with pickup trucks and custom tees but I see your point :)

I'd hate to be her.  How much do they have to pay someone to take that job!?

Just because you have a pocket full of money don't mean your good at everything, remind's me of trying to build a house from the roof down.

Back in June, in this thread, we already had a member point out shoddy quality and another had a design ripped off by them.

Apparently that is happening a lot. Easy to see how and why. As far as the factory yes, as mentioned above having a lot of money is just part of it. I would site the examples of Island Screenworks and Sweat Equity
