Redbubble - Shop original art Reviews

by Alsa437

I’ve made several purchases from this app for stickers to put on various things, and I was always happy with the quality. In my last order (a very large one, which I spent a lot of money on), I was appalled by the quality. About half of the stickers were blurry (almost like double vision) but I chalked it up to them being small. I put the larger ones on my water bottle. I had bought some duplicates to replace the same sticker that had faded over the course of a little less than a year. In the three to four weeks since, the new ones have faded so much that you can’t tell what the design is! It’s grossly apparent when looking at my water bottle which ones are from actual small businesses versus this app— they’re all still vibrant, 2-3 YEARS later. My biggest complaint isn’t even about the quality: it’s that you can’t leave a review unless you’re “randomly selected.” Naturally, all the reviews on Redbubble are great… doesn’t seem very random to me.
TL; DR: I’m out $80+ and can’t even give honest feedback to warn others.

Okay. They have a 90 day return policy, which is totally fine. But I tried to figure it out on both Redbubble and the browser, and I ended up sending tons of return requests. Because I had gotten this really, really crappy poster, for $12 (it looks like it’s worth about 50cents, maybe $1) the pixels were outrageous, I held it up on my wall (leaned against something Incase I still decided to return it) and when I saw I could still see the posters blemishes from the furthest spot in my room, I sent a return request that same day I received it. And after a month of waiting, I went ahead and sent another one. And then another month went by and I sent another, and in that last month I sent like five, but I never got a response. I sent complaints to the help team, and it still never got resolved. Besides that, there are some really amazing ideas on here. But most of it isn’t good quality. (I ordered a $50 hoodie that I can’t wear because the sticker is almost gone on it, but I couldn’t have returned that cause the sticker started rubbing off after the fourth month. But since it’s really comfy and still looks decent, I don’t feel that it’s right to blame them for that one). Not to mention I would still really like to get my money back, because I still have the poster in the original container it was sent in, I have the order number and everything. I know it’s just $12 but there’s other things I’d like to buy

Artists beware. I make a living selling my art online and this is by far the worst company I’ve ever worked with. They are run primarily by bots with a skeleton crew of live people. While I appreciate they patrol for fraud, this is done entirely by bots, and if an account gets flagged, it is automatically suspended without any context as to why.

They reserve the right to NEVER tell you why the account was suspended. The only way to reverse it is to submit an appeal (without knowing what you are appealing) and they will get back to you within two weeks IF they decide to review the case at all (they are very open that they wont review most appeals). Any attempts to reach out and discuss the matter further is responded to with a sternly worded e-mail basically telling you if you bother them again they will just automatically ban your account forever.

All of this happened to me just 3 days after opening an account to give them a try. It’s clear they don’t think they owe the artists anything. If this is the way they treat the actual source of their inventory, I can’t imagine how they treat customers buying your work. I personally would not want my name linked to this kind of dumpster fire of a client experience.

About two months ago i ordered 4 stickers from Redbubble because i really liked the art and i thought Redbubble was pretty cool. A few weeks ago it dawned on me that my stickers never came in so I started checking the mailbox and i checked my order number and it said it was delivered already but i asked my whole family and no one saw the stickers anywhere. i tried to reach out to this app with this cute email “Hi this app! I ordered 4 stickers and my order history showed that they were delivered in march 14th but i never got them :( I was really excited because i don’t have a lot of money but I saved up to treat myself. Now i’m sitting here in quarantine a few weeks later stickerless. Its okay i’m not mad at you guys or anything it would just be really great if i could get my stickers that i payed $13 dollars for. I really like Redbubble a lot and i think it’s really cool that artists can create and sell art but it was be even nicer if i could enjoy the art that i bought and admire it daily. my order number was ********if that helps. i checked my mailbox everyday and asked everyone in my house and no one has seen them so i’m pretty sure they didn’t make it to my mail box :( i hope that whoever is reading this is staying healthy and safe! thanks for all your hard work!!! :)” but the email won’t send and i can’t get it through to them!!! i just want my stickers :(

Ordered almost 2 weeks ago and no word on when I will receive my items despite their website claiming orders ship in 24 hours. If shipping is delayed, let your customers know when you know. You don’t just let them find out when they’ve waited weeks and it never comes. Also, I was double charged for an order. I called this app and they asked me to send screenshots of the charges. I sent them and someone contacted me the next day asking if I wanted to cancel one of my orders. I had made another order for only $24 after I was double charged, not thinking anything of it and trusting that this app would address the issue as they had promised. The total of the new order was not even relatively close to the 2 double charged I had screenshotted to customer service. That didn’t matter because the representative apparently wasn’t looking at the situation very closely and instead wanted to cancel one of my existing orders. I immediately responded and let him know the double charge had been credited back already and to please not cancel my orders. I never got a reply at all and I’m still waiting on both orders almost 2 weeks later. Not a good introduction to this company.

I love this app, but Redbubble has major issues. For one, it uses more resources than any other app on my phone. The latest update drains my battery and seems to have impacted battery wear (not sure how that’s possible, but it’s the only thing that changed when my battery capacity went from 97% capacity to 79% capacity over night the day I installed it), all the units are in centimeters (even though it is set to US currency and shipping), and it does not give you a total in your shopping cart. I have to add it up manually and even then you don’t have shipping or tax information. For some reason the website won’t let you change a pattern to the back of a dirt anymore or zoom in on a design (and they keep saying they are ‘tweaking’ the site, but I never see improvement) and Redbubble won’t do those kind of things either. The only thing it’s good for is searching or browsing and the search isn’t great. The splash screen takes forever to go away (and personally I think it’s ugly). I had to uninstall it. It’s not worth it anymore.

As much as I love this app and all it stands for (my go to sticker plug), it’s obvious that Redbubble causes more frustration then happiness.

I switch from my laptop to Redbubble when browsing and shopping. So during the day when I’m procrastinating from doing assignments on my laptop, I’m browsing. I put some stickers in my cart and when I went to continue my purchase on Redbubble - the cart was empty. But when I returned to my laptop the next day, the items were indeed, in my cart just as I had left them. I’m logged into my this app account on both the desktop website and Redbubble . Yet what I do on one or the other is never able to be picked up later on.

Aside from that it also crashes and freezes frequently. Which is agitating. I hope y’all can fix this because I do love the company- I just want less of hassle. I don’t recommend places to my family and friends if it’s a pain in my ... ya know? And Redbubble is a major pain.

I downloaded this on my phone, and noticed there is not a “creator section” for artists selling, which was super disappointing. I also looked for a separate app, like how Postmates uses Fleet for drivers but didn’t find one. Would love to see an update with more mobile support.

Hoping that due to the stronger processing power of the IPad that I would be able to have more access, or at least a larger experience. When I opened Redbubble it was the resolution of my phone screen with a large black stage around it. The only option to somewhat resolve this was a button in the bottom right that expanded the pixels instead of adjusting them. It also doesn’t orient to the direction of your screen (like when I use my IPad in an upright position, I am looking at Redbubble sideways).

As a Graphic Designer, it was disappointing to see the seamless integration between the brand and functionality of the UI in the mobile app on my phone to the poorly planned pixel resolution and screen boundaries. I was even more disappointed to double check Redbubble Store and find that it is listed as “IPad Compatible”.

Great app for customers but no options for artists. I just filled out a RB survey last night strictly for artists that was asking questions about Redbubble in regards to how well it works for artists for such functions as uploading artwork, etc. but I haven’t found a RB app for artists that includes such features. If such an app exists, it isn’t advertised anywhere as this is the only this app app I have ever found. Redbubble does not provide any of those features, so why there was a survey geared strictly toward artists asking about working from a non-existent app, has me a little dumbfounded. Would be nice to have the convenience of using a mobile device rather than having to boot up and sit at a computer or laptop for hours working to tweak products, upload new designs or simply to check sales, messages, etc. If such an app exists, it would probably be a good idea to direct your artists to it, this app.

by Fitzchick

Redbubble is well-designed as a whole, and I enjoy the features it has currently. However, as a creator who is frequently away from their home computer, I would love the ability to access my account and various creator features on Redbubble as well.

I’m not asking for anything robust. But I think that it would be a step in the right direction to expand the User page to include a user’s portfolio if they have one. There doesn’t need to be an “upload work” area or anything (who wants to upload a poorly-compressed phone image to their portfolio? Not me) but better accessibility in terms of stats and such would be a godsend.

I really don’t like using this app on my mobile browser, and Redbubble doesn’t have enough features for me to use it as regularly as I use it on desktop. I really think Redbubble would benefit from this.

Absolutely love Redbubble . I play around with the 3D object renderer and ARKit for items like coffee mugs way more than I should. The suggestion algorithm works great to show me things the system thinks I’d like and I haven’t even set up an account where it would be able to get more information about me.

Two fixes I’d like to see:

1) When I go to “view more products” and go into a category (such as home decor) and view a product, when I hit the top left back button I would like to return to the same category to look at more items within that category rather than being returned all the way to the original product where I hit “view more products” initially. This would ease my browsing experiencing when looking at different products for a particular artwork.

2) Some artworks should have the option to have the art displayed in a small area on the left chest for products such as shirts, hoodies, etc. Example artworks would be the NASA logo, JPL logo, Unity logo, etc. this would be nice because some of the art wouldn’t look right on a full 100% front graphic T-shirt/hoodie design. I also prefer shirts with small logos on the left chest area instead of full size graphic designs so I know for people like me it would increase our chances of actually buying a product.

Again, great work on the development of Redbubble though. Definitely some talented UI artists and engineers at this app.

(If I could give a rating of 4.5, I would.) Redbubble has many perks, including the vast array of items offered and the system design that shows you what you’re individually interested in; however, Redbubble has been glitchy by lagging when I favorite things and even closing itself completely at times. On the other hand, I would also like to add that the items I have purchased on the site were superb quality, and the four-star review is in no way directed at the artists. Furthermore, I think it is amazing that this website is a space for people of differing backgrounds and views to create in harmony; the site truly has something for everyone. The developers of Redbubble have done amazing work so far, and I can’t wait to see what changes await the future...hopefully, there’s a feature that allows customers to make personalized lists with the pieces they favorite!! (;

I love this app! It’s great for gifts or just wanting fan merchandise. I was picking out some stuff to order and went to the cart to checkout, but it wasn’t loading. I closed all my other apps, powered down the iPad, but still nothing. I waited ten minutes for it to load and nothing, nada, zip. I decided to delete Redbubble , log back in, and go from there. The problem is, when I re- downloaded it, and tried to log in, a black screen with a gray bar at the top would show up after I put the password in. I am pretty frustrated, mainly because now I cannot log in, or even sign up with a different account. I would really liked this fix, because I love the this app concept, and the people on it. Also as a note, I’ve never had any pryer problems, no glitches or crashing, just this.

by DannyCumFacial

I love Redbubble and I am slowly transitioning away from store bought shirts that everybody has to this app shirts that are so much more original. You can get whatever you want instead of just whatever you can find at a store. If they don’t have it, design it yourself. Unfortunately, the shipping costs are astronomical and that prevents me from buying here as often. I don’t know how shipping actually works for companies that aren’t worth billions of dollars so I don’t want to fault them if they’re just trying to stay afloat but I feel like there has to be something they can do. Even small shops on Etsy offer free shipping if you spend enough money. this app, if you’re reading this, offer free shipping on orders over $100 and I’ll be filling that cart every payday.

I really like the variety of high quality stickers that you can get from the site, but I wish there was an option to filter.

After downloading Redbubble , it asks you to pick things you’re interested in, so I picked things like pop culture, animals, forests, etc., and it pulls up a bunch of theme-related products on the home page. I scrolled down a little and started to see a lot of NSFW stuff come up. I didn’t want to see that at all so I checked to see if there was anyway I could block a certain artist or product, but I couldn’t find one. I went to settings to see if I could filter my feed there, but all I could find was a “hide mature content” option that was already on, but obviously didn’t do anything.

This is really a bummer as many of my friends recommend this app to me for their cool stickers, which are in Redbubble but lost amongst unfiltered and mature content. I’m surprised that blocking content or artists isn’t an option, as many other apps have the option. Also the NSFW content has little/nothing to do the themes I chose, which was weird to me.

TL;DR - Quality content is lost in a sea of NSFW pictures that’s hard to ignore with a flawed filtering system and a lack of an option to block it.

Would give 5 stars otherwise

Redbubble is terrific! It give you amazing stickers for the CHEAPEST prices ever! I have never been so happy with my purchases... I mostly use Redbubble for stickers for my laptop. The prices are so reasonable, go to Michaels, compare these prices to their stickers! It is a massive gap. Sometimes 1-3 stickers there are $12! I can get a WHOLE PACK for less than $3 I am so happy with Redbubble and it’s features. Redbubble is definitely worth my money. Let me say this. When you purchase an item from Vineyard Vines, they give you a sticker to thank you for your purchase... right? I have never EVER owned a single piece of Vineyard Vine clothing or products. But I guarantee that if you go on this app right now... you will find terrific Vineyard Vine stickers! Another examples is Vans. They give you a sticker when you get a product. If you haven’t owned Vans... you will get about 100 results for Vans stickers! I truly am so impressed by Redbubble. Definitely a game changer.

The customer support for Redbubble is, by far, the best I’ve seen in any app. I rarely encounter any problems with Redbubble and it provides me with all the things that I might want. Anything... you... want. With all the independent artists, it’s hard not to find what your looking for. If I were to pick one product to add to it, it would have to be key chains. Key chains are very mobile and you just add them on and their like little reminders or nostalgia starters, could work with a sticker or shirt but key chains, I believe, are more personal. With most people having some kind of key or place to put them. They are not really exposed out to the public. So if you want something that shows off something likely only to you. Also, pins would be a good choice. A smaller sticker alternative that doesn’t fall off when wet and can be attached to most bags and clothing. Very expressive. Overall, I would give Redbubble a 10/10 with the liking of the emails they send me because I like they way they put them.

I LOVE this app. I've been using it for years as a customer to support artists I enjoy and I have purchased merchandise at least ten times from the site, whether it be stickers, shirts, posters, etc... The items are almost always very well made and long lasting, which makes them definitely worth the price. I've only recently started selling my own designs on the platform, which has been working well for me. However, I think there could be more compatibility with your shop and your mobile device. While you can view your shop and the designs you have uploaded, you can't view your payment / sales history and many of the other features available on desktop. The this app app is very focused on customer shopping, but it would be great if I could manage my shop from my phone in Redbubble itself or in another app solely for artists that are selling (similar to the Etsy app vs. Sell on Etsy app). Thank you so much!

(I swear this is not like a robot or something) Redbubble is literally the best. So I ordered 10 stickers for my hydro flask and when you order 10, you get 50% off! Or you could order 4 and get I think like 20-25% off, something like that. Well I ordered them I think May 20th and got them May 24th! It’s shipping is incredibly fast. The stickers are great quality and I would definitely buy some more (if I had any money hahah). On most of them, you are able to choose the size of the sticker but it does cost extra (obviously). All the stickers I got were a size small and they are the perfect size. (It tells you the measurements in the description of the sticker) Tip: if you look hard enough, you can get stickers for a really cheap price. Example: I got 3 “The Office” stickers for literally 50 cents each! (It was a 3 in 1 kinda thing) Meanwhile, my sister got only one of them for over two dollars! Anyways, I would definitely suggest buying stickers from Redbubble because I am so obsessed with these stickers and it is truly a great app. I hope I helped!

this app is one of my all time favorite shopping apps! I use this app for stickers mostly, though I’ve bought a few other things such as shirts. It’s a very custom experience, I love that you can support the artists personally. I’ve never put out any art through this app, but from my understanding artists have their own accounts, get credit for their art and get to decide how they wish to distribute their art. I love being able to follow an artist because sometimes that art style or art topics are just something I love seeing! Not to mention that everything is very AFFORDABLE. I’m happy to say that on many occasions I’ve been able to get lots and lots of stickers all at once because the more you buy the higher the discount you get. Buying custom stickers in bulk is great, and I’ve never had a bad experience with this app. It’s wonderful and cares about the consumers and the artists.

So far I have made one order of 4 stickers. The material the stickers are made of is a lot more sturdy than what I was expecting. I love the artwork though it’s a little grainy. It took 6 days to arrive after I clicked the purchase button. I do wish there was a filter when you search something so you could search by colors or make sure artworks with certain word(s) do not show. I agree with pretty much everyone else that there should be some sort of area within Redbubble for creators, as it kinda seems redundant for the large majority of creators to have an app but nothing for them to do but buy others’ works. Lastly, I think there should be a team who quality checks all artworks posted. Some artworks make me question why they would even be available for purchase because they look like an 8 year old did them.

by Cfcxhvcghbfrjxdg

First of all I would like to say that I am in love with the idea of buying people’s art and cute little designs and I think the idea of this app is really cool. The problem I have is with Redbubble . When Redbubble even loads at all, it is very slow and glitchy, and I usually have a minute or so before it crashes. I know it’s not a problem with my phone I got it just a month ago and my other apps have t been doing that either. I have read other reviews and from what I can see is that Redbubble is just not quite ready and has a few major fixes needed. I really love this idea and I was so excited when I first got Redbubble . I really wish it wasn’t as messed up because I would love to keep it on my phone, but I just can’t deal with Redbubble .

by Green Photography

I never really write reviews. It takes a lot to capture my interest to write a review. But I have to say, Redbubble is so great. The price is well worth it if you ask me. They have GREAT products, not cheap breakable ones that last for a month. They have a limitless number of designs it’s crazy. From tv series, to movies, to classical art, to basically any design you wish, they have it. you can get the designs you want on notebooks phone cases (personal favorite) clothing, clocks, stickers, canvas’s, cards etc. They also have amazing customer service. They are super helpful if you have any problems and will make sure you will get want you want. APP DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!! (Not a robot or getting paid to do this lol)
