“Depressing and funny t-shirts and gift ideas”

Depressing and funny t-shirts and gift ideas - Finally -- a site that tells it like it is and puts it on t-shirts, calendars and other great depressingly funny gift ideas. My favorites include the "more people have read this shirt that your blog" t-shirt: http://despair.com/viewall1.html I also enjoy the failure poster: http://despair.com/fail24x30pri.html

“I think they're Belly-up”

The website seems to be a legacy site - not really working other than for suckers to have their money collected.

Never received my order. No response from their customer service. Contacted twice. Ignored twice. Absolutely awful.

My partner and I have bought from Despair every Christmas for years in a row. No more. They're a Disgrace.

Never again.

I've been a loyal customer of Despair, Inc. for over 10 years. I order calendars as gifts for my clients and placed this year's order in late November, 2018 and this was immediately acknowledged, assuring shipping in a week or so. The middle of December approaches and I send them an email to their customer service with no reply. I try calling what is supposed to be a live number to no avail. It takes messages that are not returned. I try another number listed through Hoover's Inc and it seems to be an individual's phone number. Now I have disappointed clients, no calendars and it's January 2019.

I placed an order 14 months ago. Paid a hefty price. Order was acknowledged. No news since. Nothing ever received, no answer to queries. Just a desperate disaster.

Tip for consumers:
This site is a big scam

Never received anything
