Advantages: Sheer amount of choice. Good service.
Disadvantages: I'd prefer a tad cheaper!
I'd heard of 8ball a lot through magazine ads and online ads but never really been on there for a browse. They sell T shirts mostly, plus a few hoodies and caps. My boyfriend's birthday was coming up so I though a quirky T shirt would be a great pressie for someone who has everything, lives in jeans and tees and has a good sense of humour. Remembering 8 ball I gave them a visit and spent so much time browsing all the brilliantly quirky designs.
The tees are split up into the following categories-
Clearance
80s Fashion
B Movie
Classic Rock & Pop
Computers & Games
Fancy Dress
Graphic Artist
Hip Hop & Beats
Indie & Alternative
Kids & Baby
New Punk/Emo & Hardcore
Offensive
Plain
Political
Punk & New Wave
Reggae & Ska
Retro Tees
Rock & Metal
Funny
Slogan
Sport
Soul, Funk & Jazz
TV & Film
Vintage
Each category has a fair few designs to go through as well, so unless you have a day to spare I'd have a rough idea of what you are looking for! The offensive ones, I'll warn do do as they say. I reckon you'd have to be a little stupid to wear some of these, funny as some of them are as you're likely to get a thump from some one!! My personal favourites are the range of Banksy t shirts they have and I have my eye on a few of those for myself!
If there is a film, band or character you are after, there is a search feature or you can even look through alphabetically to find what you're after. I settled on the only Pob Tshirt I'd ever seen. A bit of an in joke as my other half does a mean impression of Pob. I couldn't have found a more perfect pressie!
Price was I found them a little on the steep side, but I guess you pay for the unusual. A lot of these shirts you just will not find in the shops. I paid £14.99 for my Tshirt plus £2.95 postage. Sale t shirts start at £6.99 and for some of the more desirable you are looking at £16-17.
I was impressed with the delivery times - about 3 days and the product was good quality, fit perfectly and more importantly he loved it.
Overall, a good little store for pressies and to treat yourself.
Summary: A good online store

- 29/03/09 Do the T-shirts wash well? How about sizing - is there a range of sizes and cuts available, are the small sizes minute? |
