Unreliable amateurs who should spend less on fake online reviews and more on actual customer service. Placed an order, never received it, waited a month before contacting them. Another month went by, they never provided a tracking number, despite numerous requests, or even made the slightest attempt to locate the package. Their big idea was for me to call post offices across the city. I live in a 4+ million people area, it could be in any post office. They never tried to explain or resolve this fiasco. To this day, I still have no clue whether the package ever left their office.
I love the beautiful designs and interesting stuff. Addicted. Have ordered loads of things, clock, wall tapestries, bags - love that they feature upcoming artists. Shipping is quick and products packaged well.
If you would like an experience similar to ordering from an over-seas catalog back in the 60's, this is where you should do business. No customer service, no true confirmation of shipping (tracking #), and the amount of time for delivery is laughable. Actually I'm not sure yet if my stuff will ever be delivered for that matter. Its unfortunate, they have some cool stuff.
In response to my comments below, Redbubble refunded my purchase. It is much appreciated. However, as stated below, no products reached me. What is the purpose then, of providing clients with the hope of receiving customized shirts, only to give them a full refund in return?
Thank you again for your assistance - but please keep this in mind in future.

Original post:
Two shirts ordered in August, estimated delivery 6 September. It is now 8 October, and casually noted on their website that it was DELIVERED, incidentally on the day that I am supposed to follow up a missing order. The administration of finding my order thus becoming my problem.
Redbubble is a fraud of a firm. Absolutely disgusted in this scammery.
Do not use this company that sells inferior stickers that cannot be removed from the backing, I purchased a lip reading sticker to put on my mask to alert people to the fact that I can't hear and the stickers do not come apart from the backing. It cost $20 all up and that is disgusting exploitation of deaf people during a time that we are already frustrated about our ability to communicate with others. The stickers are too large to stick on a mask
Edit: red bubble fully refunded cost when I complained, so I have edited this review. Don't buy the stickers but the company seems solid
Exceptional customer service. I am someone who is always skeptical when purchasing online and seems to always have the worst luck with product/shipping. However, I cannot fault this site one bit. I have since ordered items from Redbubble three times and each time has been a success. The staff are helpful and friendly and their response is fast and effective. This was reinforced based on my second order where the size I chose was the wrong fit. I quickly emailed them and within hours the situation was rectify and they ended up sending me a free t-shirt. I really recommend that you guys check this site out as the products are unique and the service is flawless.
This company is pathetic. I have not received my order and paid for additional shipping and tacking information which did nothing for my order. The order was supposed to be a Christmas gift but the shipment didn't ship out until 12/21/18. All I am getting are excuses and ZERO resolution. All Redbubble continues to do is add days to the expected shipment dates.
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the feedback.
We're sorry that your order experienced a shipping delay. It looks like someone from our team has sent a follow up with more information.
If you have any other questions, please let me know.
I have yet to receive my order, it's been 2 weeks, and shipping was costly@ $10! My first communication by email to customer rep. Suggested I wait, no investigation, and seemed to be a canned response. I will take my business elsewhere from now on. There are plenty of other businesses with much better, and less costly, delivery service.
Note: I finally received my order, but it took nearly 3 weeks arrive. Not worth the shipping cost.
Hi Sherree,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
We're very sorry to hear about this. Not to worry, one of our Customer Experience Reps will be in touch with you shortly to sort this out.
If you have any other questions, please let us know.
Warmest wishes,
Redbubble
Over a month for the items to arrive, then had to pay £11.30 Customs charge. This is a known problem to them if you read the reviews on here and on their support forum. They are deliberately avoiding paying UK Tax, which results in a very slow delivery service and the fact you have to go to the post office to pay the charges. On their website it says this, "As customs rules in various countries can frequently change, this can cause delays, and at times, additional charges imposed by the receiving country. While we take all reasonable steps to comply with general world shipping standards, Redbubble is not liable for any additional customs import taxes or duties."
Many thanks for your very helpful customer service. I ordered the 'Fantasy' poster, and I love it! Did have a problem with the first print sent, but was replaced very quickly with no fuss at all.
Also ordered Antique Map - Mercator's North Pole (1606) and
Flat Earth old map Art boards,. Just perfect. Thank you so much!
I ordered a tee shirt for my wife, ordered Jan 19 2016, estimated delivery was Jan 26, I just now got it Feb 6, so 18 days to receive one t shirt. Save yourself some time and headache and order your stuff from someone else. Very poor business
EDIT: After leaving a review here and a message through facebook, I was then contacted. I do appreciate their prompt response and fix so I will change my rating. I hope in the future they will be easier to contact or have a system that sends an email if there is a delay.
Ordered a t-shirt to be delivered between December 18-20, but the status says it's still in production as of December 19. Not even shipped. Can you please give me an update that the product is complete and shipped? I should have looked up reviews before as I see a LOT of people are having this problem. On top of that, it is next to impossible to get in contact with their customer service.
Hi there Nicole,
We're so sorry to keep you waiting. Not to worry, someone from our team will be in touch with you via email soon to help clear this up for you.
Please let us know if you have additional questions!
Very disappointed in Redbubble. I found a unique t-shirt design that would make a great gift for a friend. The first shirt came with an ink pen mark circled by a yellow highlighter. Seemed that it failed quality check but they sent it any way. Customer service was great, replaced at no cost although it took a week. Second shirt came with poor an inconsistent printing. Looks like they ran out of ink and didn't bother to add more. Neither shirt is gift worthy. Good customer service can not save a CRAP product.
Hi there,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
The quality of our products is extremely important to us and we're very sorry to hear both orders we're up to par. We'll be forwarding this message over to our quality assurance team for further review.
We appreciate your feedback, so please let us know if you have any additional comments or concerns.
I ordered stickers ($40 worth!) for work. The tracking was never updated and eventually said it was delivered. Did UPS deliver it to another address? No idea because it is USPS Innovations. I cannot get anyone to respond to me from either end. Thank you for sending me the follow-up survey, because I noted the same complaint there. Super disappointed as these were for part of essential health care workers' gift baskets. Won't be ordering again.
I ordered a 'Man Of Steel' tee shirt for my son from Redbubble, and i have to say i am impressed with the quality of the cloth and print design.
Ok, you can buy similar designs in stores but i thought it was a nice touch that i can support an independent artist.
Delivery was a little slow, however as a U. K. resident i cannot complain too much.(which is normal in our country)
The sense of fun written into the text on this site was a refreshing change to some other websites. Made it feel more refreshing and written by a real human being.
Would i shop there again?. Of course i would!
They're fine if you're happy with your purchase. And that is likely since they typically are good quality products. But I received a t-shirt that was faulty as it had a little blob of white ink/printing fluid on the front and I wanted to exchange it, as it sticks out on a black shirt. The exchange form did not work, and they have no phone number you can call for help. I emailed three times but no response. I filled out and submitted a form asking for help but no response. Crickets. So I'm stuck with a bad shirt. It's not super bad, just looks like a big white thread on the front. But it's annoying.
In a day and age of mediocre customer service becoming the norm, I was unbelievably surprised to discover that you folks actually care! Thanks Karla and crew for such speedy, professional, yet familiar and friendly correspondence. Your staff is on par with your product - excellent! Thanks again. Signed, a loyal customer :)
I love ordering from this website! Not only are multiple t-shirt colors an option, they also have different styles of shirts (men's, women's, long sleeved, etc). Each design is unique. I also love how the designer/artist gets their fair share when someone chooses their art on an item. I will keep returning!
Cool designs, but service is terrible. Paid for expedited shipping which was $1 more than the actual shirt. This was a gift for a birthday party and the item arrived 4 days AFTER the promised delivery date. Needless to say, I had no gift for the party. It would have arrived the same time with regular ground shipping. Contacted customer service who gave me a $5 credit for a $12.95 shipping charge. I'm not happy and will not be ordering from them again. Also be wary of promised coupons if you sign up. They will definitely bombard you with spam emails, but you'll never get that promised coupon.
Hi Susan,
We're so sorry about this! We've passed your feedback along to the right team and someone will be in touch with you soon to help sort this out.
Apologies again for the inconvenience!
I had ordered a tee shirt but failed to put my house number on the order. When I contacted them by email, they responded quickly and pleasantly. That's the kind of treatment that keeps me coming back. They took care of everything!
Answer: They seem fake to me. I received such horrible service that its hard to believe this is the same Redbubble. Maybe they improved alot since OR maybe they are paying their own marketing people to post fake positive reviews. We will never know. I would say its not worth the risk. Go with another seller.
Answer: They're your typical plastic case. My sister has a case and it's lasted her s good year
