Scam
Received a tracking number. A month later the only activity was that the label for shipping had been printed. Emailed them several times before geting a response that they had been trying to reach me (really? how?) . I was told that the carrier had lost my package and that they could reship or refund. I replied and nothing. I now see that my experience isn't unique. Unfortunate becasue there are a lot of nice looking designs.
ORDERING IS A NIGHTMARE!!
A few years ago I placed an order and was happy with good no issues. I placed an order before Christmas 2024. Didn’t arrive so cancelled order and received a refund. Then order arrived. Ordered once again and again did not receive order. Gave them a chance to deliver but after months nothing received so requested a refund using the correct email. AND NOW SILENCE!! NEVER AGAIN - DO NOT USE THEM!!!
Overpriced trash.
Overpriced trash.
I had a bad experience with them a few years ago, but I wanted to give them one more chance. The designs look cool.
So, I bought 3 t-shirts worth 78$. And had a bad experience again.
Their whole site had a huge ad "75$+ orders - worldwide shipment is free".
Got charged 40$.
Wrote to their support. They claimed it was "a website glitch." Got my 40$ back.
2 weeks later, FedEx called me and made me pay 48$ "handling fee".
Also, the print dies after a few washes. Just buy from Qwertee - the print stays for years, t-shirts are cheaper, and no issues/additional payments for the shipment.
Don't order from this company
Item ordered over a month ago. Tracking numbers don't work. No reply when emailed. This shirt was ordered in advance for Christmas. I have 2 days to find something else and iam so angry to read all the other reviews to see that everyone is having the same issues. How do these companies get away with this???
DON'T ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY
Gone downhill
I've been ordering for about 10 years. The quality of the shirts has gone significantly down. I take excellent care of my T-shirts, gentle wash cold, hang dry. I still have their shirts from years ago and can confirm they are a different supplier by the tags. The old shirts are high quality, never any issues. New shirts are cheap, thin, and the threads are already unraveling on nearly all of them.
Will not purchase again. Sad to see this business go downhill.
Never received goods- do NOT use this company
Made an order in mid-October, still not received mid-December. Given some bs about the international courier not collecting the items- on two occasions. Tracking numbers didn't register both times. Do NOT order from this company.
Fraudulent Company- charged, but received nothing
I purchased 3 tee shirts for my son's birthday on September 13th for a total of approximately 80$. It's November 22nd and I have still received nothing. I should have realized this was a fraudulent company when I wasn't able to use the tracking number they provided. I even contacted FedEx and they advised that the tracking number I was given was not any sort of number they use. You'd think a tee shirt business would be a good way to make money, but I guess an even better way to make money is to charge people and send nothing in return!!
I wish i had researched this company…
I wish i had researched this company first as then i could have avoided transacting with them. It went bad right from the start. I accidentally purchased a small shirt instead of a large one, despite letting them know IMMEDIATELY after purchase they lacked the ability to note this message to them and sent the small size to the printers anyway! Then, when DBH sent me a freight tracking link, it didnt work, the second one they sent just didnt even change status for 5 weeks, ultimately ending in a refund for items lost which I dispute were ever sent. Just a really poorly run company with lots of admin and organisational issues, and by the looks of reviews their product isnt the best quality. Many, many more apparel companies out there that wont lose your order, and have better quality product, just choose someone else. These guys are cowboys
Low quality of T-shirts, no returns
Low quality of T-shirts. They advertise 60 days returns if in original condition but I was not able to return the purchase despite contacting them three separate times. They would not answer the messages at all and there is no way to return. Stay away from this scammy site.
Not able to return inferior quality t-shirts
ordered 5 T-shirts. Received inferior, thin cotton shirts, which, I'm sure, if i wash them they will shrink. I went through their "return" process by filling out their return requisition but they have not responded after 5 days (they said 24-48 hours response.) I tried calling but the number (855) 333-9836) is not "set up to receive calls"! I guess i'm stuck with the shirts...
Great designs and nice tee-fabric
It was great once my order was fulfilled, the two shirts I ordered came in "split" deliveries and it was confusing because it showed "2 of 2" shipped (the 2nd came a week later). Anyway it did work out, in part thanks to Luis in customer service, and the two tees are really nice - the print job is great, the tee fabric and weight and color are all just fine. Thanks!
Shirt quality has gone downhill.
I have ordered from DBH a few times and the shirts were always decent quality and there was a mishap with shipping, which they corrected. But for my latest purchase, the shirts are all cheap garbage. They don't fit properly, the print is bad quality, the shirts are thin and cheap feeling. They are just ripping people off at this point....
Mediocre shirts.
I was attracted by the vivid designs and purchased 3 shirts. The designs were MUCH less vivid 'in person'. The fabric (scoop neck/women) is very thin. They are all 100% cotton, made in China -- I guess by Chinese humans? Washed them cold on gentle, dried on gentle, and they came out slightly wrinkled. Overall, very mediocre shirts. I wouldn't recommend and won't be ordering again.
Delivery was as expected, no delays etc.
Order still not shipped after six weeks
I ordered two shirts and received an email two days later saying they had been shipped and a FedEx tracking number was provided. After two weeks the tracking had not progressed past "label created". I contacted DBH via email to ask what was going on. They blamed FedEx saying that they must have lost the package and offered to send a replacement order. After one week, a tracking number for the replacement order was provided. Two weeks later, this tracking number has still not progressed past "label created". So, all in all, around six weeks have passed since I placed my original order and it has still yet to be shipped. Never again!
Lamenting the demise of one of my favourite companies.
DBH used to be an awesome company, selling good quality at reasonable prices. I think I have at least 20 tshirts from them, some of which have lasted years. Quality definitely dropped during covid and has since dropped again. My latest order of t-shirts were of such poor quality I returned them (tshirt was very thin and print quality was terrible).
Such a shame
The print quality has been degrading over the years, but at least they had good t-shirts. Now they changed it and the fit is terrible, very boxy, very large. What's worse, heather tees have different sizing and when I pointed it out, they werent interested in putting out that information on site. On plus side, I got replacement promptly, but the fit is still bad. Real shame, some of the designs they have are awesome.
Borderline scam - quality not even suitable as fast fashion
I ordered two T-shirts from DBH, both have problems.
One issue became apparent immediately: The stitching on the side (the torso part of the T-shirt comprises two panels) had a section where the stitching was interrupted. I contacted DBH and they have undertaken to send a replacement, but given my experience with the other T (see below, I am not looking forward to it).
I washed the second T which I normally always do when I buy clothes (it was more of a low temperature rinse really, wool cycle at 20 degrees, so a very gentle cycle which every item of clothing should survive). Unfortunately, the design is already showing signs of fading, looking like a well worn, ten year old T.
I am dreading putting this through a "proper" wash cycle after wearing the T.
To summarize: I wish I had consulted this site before the purchase as my experience does not seem to be unique.
Caveat emptor!
Terrible quality t-shirts
I bought 3 men's t-shirts at Christmas. Just over a month later, these shirts look like I've had them for 5 years. The quality of the shirt is terrible. The artwork is already starting to come off, but what's worse is the shirt is fading, it's completely lost it's shape and looks like I've been mowing the yard in it for a few years. I didn't know such poor quality shirts were still a thing. For the high price that they charge, the quality should be on par with typical t-shirt quality. The designs are great, but the shirt quality is so poor it just makes me think this is a scam.
Designed by Humans use to be a good…
Designed by Humans use to be a good company. They were very timely. Now it is the opposite. No shirts and No one to answer emails. I found the address and phone number. The city that licenses them said that their address was not the one they post. The phone number is correct and I called 4 days in a row and finally received the shirts weeks later. Some of the shirts were the wrong size. Very disappointed. Call them: 530-893-5257
