Cafe Press

Dear Cafe Press,

I am writing because you have a big labor day weekend sale banner at the top of your website. One might suspect that this means you can use the coupon code over labor day weekend - not the case. Apparently labor day weekend is only Saturday in Cafe Press's opinion. I spent a half hour creating a shirt and then at the end I had to buy it for what I thought was not a good price because I didn't want all my hard work to go to waste. It should have been six dollars cheaper (shipping). You deceived me with the banner. If the sale is over, take it down. I feel this is an unscrupulous business practice and that I am entitled to the shipping discount since I was lured into creating a shirt under false pretenses and didn't read the legalese fine print which says that labor day weekend isn't actually labor day weekend on Cafe Press. Come on, Cafe Press. Your prices are too high to begin with. These scams are not needed. I have bought shirts here in the past and there used to be a $9.99 white t-shirt option. Now the cheapest order with shipping is $27. Outrageous!

Sincerely,
