Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 36 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company, consistently praising the high quality of the products, especially the tee-shirts and their screen printing, which hold up well over time without cracking or fading. Customers are impressed with the designs, the comfort of the materials, and the accurate sizing, often noting that items are exactly as advertised. The delivery service is also frequently highlighted for its efficiency, with items arriving quickly and well-packaged, and tracking updates are appreciated. However, some customers also noted issues with sizing, finding certain items too loose or resembling a nightgown despite selecting their usual size. A few other people also felt that while designs were great, the material quality of some t-shirts could be improved, and one reviewer mentioned a coffee cup being small and fragile. Additionally, one customer reported not receiving their items after two months.

Love this jumper, sizing is good, print is good, the colour is as seen. I'll enjoy wearing it next Christmas again. I intend to purchase more from this store, very impressed with the quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Excellent service, high-quality products, a bit too-loose for an XL, but I don't mind at all. Totally satisfied.

A high price tag for a small, poor quality coffee cup.

I purchased a coffee cup with the amusing label: "Kant Touch This" with a drawn image of the philosopher Kant. Anticipating that it would be a decent product, I rationalized the expensive cost of the cup. However, the cup is small, fragile - insignificant - and definitely not worth the investment.

Thank you for your feedback. The mugs may seem expensive, but I think it's important to look beyond the mug itself. The price also includes the creative work that goes into the design, as well as printing and packaging.

So basically, customers are paying for our work and the product itself. I can assure you that no one is getting rich from our online store. We would rather pay another philosopher to work with us. That's the idea behind TPS.

If we manage to be significantly profitable (we all still have our normal day jobs), we can offer higher-quality mugs without increasing the price.

The fundamental problem with margins is that we only print each product to order, which of course makes labor costs significantly higher than if we simply ordered 10,000 mugs from China. But then we would have to pay storage fees and possibly destroy goods if we didn't sell them. We want to avoid that at all costs.

It remains questionable whether we could actually offer the mug at a lower price if we sourced products in bulk. In addition, we would not be able to offer the selection of designs we have now, but significantly fewer.

Basically, the price also includes our unique service. We have no desire to give the impression that we are ripping off our customers. I have therefore refunded the full purchase price for the mug.

Great quality t-shirts

I’m extremely happy with my order! The t-shirts are of excellent quality — 100% cotton and very comfortable to wear. The print is high-quality and looks just like the photos. Everything arrived quickly and was well packaged. Highly recommend!

Dear Alan,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're truly sorry to hear about the quality problem with your shirt - this is definitely not the standard we strive for.

This appears to be an isolated quality issue, as our shirts typically meet high durability standards. Many of our team members, myself included, have worn these shirts for years without experiencing seam problems.

We'd like to make this right by sending you a replacement shirt at absolutely no cost to you. To help us process this quickly, could you please email us at support@philosophers-shirt.com with a photo showing both the frayed seams and the shirt design?

Your satisfaction matters greatly to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to correct this unfortunate situation.


Kind regards,
Markus from The Philosophers Shirt
