Cafepress UK?
Does anybody out there know if there’s a UK-based version of Cafépress? I have loads of ideas for T-shirts, clocks, etc. but I’d rather avoid all the import costs and delays. I looked around and I can’t believe there’s nothing there.

Cafepress are great but this is a SINCERE WARNING to anyone thinking of using anything like Cafepress for printing your designs that are accessible by anyone on the Internet because of possible unintentional International Intellectual Property violation and lawsuits by unscrupolous companies.
52 mostly CP small shop/artists are being sued for $12M for using the term of endearment Sweet Pea on T-shirts and stuff by a big Florida based clothing company. See http://www.sourpeas.org to see press releases and legal resources.

I would very much like to do the same, though using my own logos of course! No one owns the copyright to Joan Collins shurely!

This is the nearest to Cafepress - you can even design your own shopfront and add a markup.
They are UK based and have a pretty comprehensive range of goods, which includes T-shirts, Sweatshirts and Hoodies.

Been trying to log into simplyicons, there are constant error messages… Any potential customers would really not have the patience for this site!
Is there anywhere else…

After searching this and many other forums, I have finally found a good UK alternative. Try http://www.creativecraving.co.uk
They seem relatively new, but the print quality, customer service and website are really good. Very impressed.
