- Can you change or alter any images,
like putting a colored border around the edges or adding text?
YES. We recently removed the Custom
area of our online store due to costs associated with setup for
one-time custom orders, but we can still meet most fans'
needs. Consult our Custom Page.
We can modify any images in millions of
ways, from borders to artistic filters to adding the figure's name
or yours (or any other text in a variety of fonts, colors, and
styles) to the shirt. We can do a lot of very cool things
at no extra charge, but if your modification is one that would
take a long time, or uses several images, we may have to charge for
it (ie. separate text counts as an image). We would let
you know the total cost before you finalize your order
For just a few examples of some cool ways to
modify images, you can see the sample modifications HERE
If you have a question about customization, or
want to know if your idea would cost extra, just
Click Here and fill out the
form to send us a complete and detailed description of your concept
(including approximate image size and placement on the shirt), and we
will let you know if there would be any extra charge
- Can you put a Devastator [or
whatever] on the front and the six Constructicons [or whatever] on
the back?
YES. Any image you see in the Custom
Gallery can be
placed anywhere on the shirt, and at any size from 1 inch across to
8 inches across. We have recently removed the custom section from
our store due to setup costs associated with one-time orders, but it
is still a possibility
Use our
Wearables Request form to send
us a full description of your ideas. PLEASE
be very clear and descriptive. We will let you know if it is
possible and, if so, what the extra charges would be
- I'm a big [or small] person. Can I
get anything larger [or smaller] than what's in your store?
YES. However, because of the added
expense to us of purchasing shirts at lesser quantities for a
special order, there is an increase in the price. This increase
ranges anywhere from $3.00 (for child-size small) to $5.00 (for
XXX-Larges and above). The actual price increase may vary depending
on supply, so ask us about this first before ordering. Use our
Wearables Request form for orders of this nature.
- How long does it take to get the
shirt?
This depends on our workload. If we have a sudden
rush of orders to fill, or if we are working to supply a huge order
for a convention or party, the turnover rate could be up to a couple
weeks. However, we are almost always able to ship shirts out
within 3 days of receiving payment. If yours is a custom image
order that takes a lot of work to do, though, the turnaround will
vary depending on the complexity of your order.
- Can I get a color other than white
or light gray for a T-shirt?
Sorry, but due to costs and setup
times Botcollector can no longer print on shirts other than what is
available in the store. We add new shirt styles on occasion,
however, so keep checking back at the T-Shirt shop to see what's
new!
- Can I get a different kind of
shirt, like a hockey jersey [or whatever]?
Probably, but again, this would be subject to
additional costs due to our buying it individually for a special
order. The price would depend on what kind of garment you're looking
for. Also, there are several different kinds of outerwear that can't
be imaged, so contact us with what you're looking for, and we'll let
you know if it's possible and/or how much it would cost.
- Can I get a Bluestreak [or some
other image not in the Custom Gallery]?
Right now, if the image is not in the
gallery, we can't do it (right away). However, we are constantly
working to add images, so the one you're looking for could be next
in line. Keep checking the Custom Page
for new images added to the gallery
- Are these just iron-ons? If not,
how do you make them?
NO NO NO, these are NOT iron-ons. These
shirts are made with the latest industry-standard professional
sportswear imaging equipment and supplies. These shirts are made the
same way most of the imaged clothes you see in stores are, and are
of professional quality. R.I.D. has invested over $12,000 to make
sure that we're able to put out a fine product that everyone will
love, and that will look just as good and last just as long as any
other imaged clothing (sometimes much better)
- Are your shirts cotton? Are they
undershirts?
Unless you make a special order for something
different, R.I.D. uses either 100% cotton or 50/50 blends. Our
shirts are the highest quality OUTER wear shirts. Ever hear of Hanes
outerwear? Anvil? Jerzeez? Those are the guys we use; top of the
line outer sportswear
- Can I send you a special image I'd
like to use?
YES. However, keep in mind that we can only
produce as good an image as you send us. We are capable of redrawing
a lot of images, and fixing them up if they're too grainy, but this
is not always possible, and if we had to spend a lot of time on it,
we'd have to charge extra. If it's a cool image that we can use to
add to the gallery, however, there would be no extra charge for us
needing to manipulate and/or fix the image. What we typically ask
for is images that are LEAST 600 dpi if they are emailed, and at
LEAST 3 inches across if they are snail-mailed to us as hardcopy.
- Can I save money by sending you the
shirts to use?
Probably not. We have sportswear contacts that we
buy from in bulk, and chances are we get our shirts cheaper than you
would at a store. Plus, even if you got some super clearance deals,
you have to remember the postage or shipping charge to send it to
us, which we can almost guarantee would make your shirts more
expensive than doing it through us.
- Would you accept Transformers [or
other transforming robot toys] in exchange for shirts?
This is a possibility. However, since we are
almost always over budget, and since not ALL of us at R.I.D. cherish
Transformers over everything else (like paying bills), it has to be
a pretty sweet deal. What it basically comes down to on our end is
that the ones of us who really love Transformers would take the
trade, and pay the others for the shirts, so it's kind of like us
buying them from you anyway. If you have really good stuff,
contact us
us and we'll talk.
- If I send you a personal item of
clothing [like a denim jacket or shorts], can you put these images
on that?
YES. In fact, we encourage people to "Transformerize"
their favorite shirt, jacket, or whatever. However, we can only do
this if the clothing area to be imaged is at LEAST 50/50 cotton. The
tag stating the cotton content must be present on the article of
clothing; we don't want to mess up anyone's favorite threads, see?
The cost of each image would be $12.00, plus the shipping charge of
returning it to you.
- What's the procedure for ordering a
shirt?
We have integrated an
online
shopping cart for easier shirt shopping. From within the
online store, you can pick your shirts and use the shopping cart to
submit your order. When the order is submitted, you receive an
automatic email confirmation with total. When we receive your order, we email you a
separate confirmation, including where/how to send
payment. Once you receive our second confirmation, you can send payment. We'll
let you know when it arrives, and when we ship out your order.
- If I order a lot, can I get a
discount?
YES. Discounts begin after 5 shirts. The amount of
the discount will depend on how many shirts after 4 you get. Use our
Wearables Request form to contact
us with how many you'll buy, and we'll talk about your discount.
- Do you do other images
besides Transformers?
YES. Our site is dedicated to the Transformers
mainly because most of us love them so much. We can probably do just
about anything you can imagine imagewise. The price of non-gallery
images depends on how hard they are to do. Use our
Wearables Request form to describe what you're thinking of getting, and we'll
let you know if we can do it and how much it'll cost (PLEASE be very
descriptive)
