I ordered three custom T-shirts and two polo shirts with various designs from the online Frontier clothing store and wanted to post my impressions. I don't think I've seen a thread dedicated to this subject.
The online web portal made laying out my designs very easy. If I hit an illegal place to print on, or if I went beyond the size capability of the logo or image, it warned me in red. Color choices were decent and I had a choice of multiple styles. I was able to do all five items in under fifteen minutes using the online stock images. Costs ranged from £20-21 (Roughly $25 US) per item, which I felt was a tad high initially, but we'll talk about that in a few secs.
Order went in and took about two weeks to reach me (ordered 2/8 and pickup notice sent 2/20). You should get it a lot faster. I live in Bermuda and there's a whole customs processing drama you won't have to deal with. Shipping was £19.99 on top of the order cost. This was to a US accommodation address and not direct to me on the island.
Shipment was well packaged in a soft, but rugged commercial envelope with all shirts folded neatly to make for a compact package. The envelope had been opened and taped by customs, but that was the only trauma. When I unpacked the clothes, the first thing I noticed was the quality materials. The feel of them tells you these are not cheap. Good quality fabric and the images I had printed on them are very nicely presented. They look great as a matter of fact.
I can't comment on long term wear or multiple laundry runs as I've only had them a week or so, but will make a comment if I see anything in the coming months. They all fit perfectly and wear well. I've had a couple of compliments already. The quality of the shirts is well worth the £20 per item and I'd happily buy more in the future.
Do note that the graphics will be EXACTLY where you put them, so take the time to make sure you get them in the right place before submitting the order. It will only be as good as you make it.
UPDATE: After more than two months of wear and washing the clothing has held up nicely. Small amount of shrinkage the first time out of the dryer, but nothing major. The graphics on the shirts still have crisp edges and look great. I'll wait until v3.0 is branded before putting in a second order, but I can certainly recommend the service to any interested parties.
