Shirt peeling?

This was never an issue with screen printed shirts.

Not that it matters, but I’ve only I think I’ve only had one print go bad and it’s one I bought in 2016 on a different brand blank than they use now.

It’s a design by @benjaminleebates (The Places You’ll Roll), though, so it’s probably his fault. :wink: I still wear it all the time around the house.

I always wash my shirts in cold water, which I’m guessing helps preserve the print. Others would know better than me on that, though. My version of doing the laundry is tossing everything in at once and hoping for the best.

I’m truly sorry others have had shirts peel, though, and I hope Woot has helped make that right.

Here’s another one, on a hoodie this time. I think this is my 5th?

Have peeled for me. I bought the Pawnee one twice before giving up. I’m a plain t girl now. Woot!'s peeling blunders changed my entire look. People seeing me out and about have no idea how much I love Leslie Knope, Mufasa, or trashcans (jk, my Eat Trash is holding strong).

I’ve been getting my fix from Redbubble lately.

Go ahead and take a guess which shirt I bought in June 2021 and which I bought in June 2011.

So, the gist I am getting from this entire thread is, Woot doesn’t see it as a systemic issue and refuses to address what they are doing to fix it. I’ve already gotten my money back on 3 shirts. Doesn’t seem to be a good model to keep shipping multiple free t-shirts to people. I do like that I can continue getting free t-shirts from Woot, so I will likely keep ordering despite them not fixing it. Hey, maybe I’ll get lucky and this time it won’t wear out after 2 wears.

I’ve got a bunch of t-shirts from Woot, but have only worn one so far.
This is what it looks like after 2 washes, in cold water and medium heat in dryer

Is there something that I can do to keep them from peeling?
Ironing or a spay solvent that would bind the printing to the fibers?

Contact support is about the only thing you can do. There is no saving these due to the defective printing process.

I haven’t figured out a solution. I wash everything in cold water and line dry. It’s random too. Just contact CS and they’ll help.

My only advice as a fellow shirt hoarder is - only buy them on sale.

Good tip,
The one pictured was on sale, and I used a TTFH coupon, so would feel guilty contacting customer service

Don’t feel guilty. If it’s not reported then it’s not being tracked.

I have that same shirt and have had no problem with it. It’s one of my favorites and I’ve worn it often. I don’t treat it any differently than my other laundry, meaning I stuff it in the washer and then recklessly hit a bunch of random buttons until it starts washing. The peeling is very random. I don’t believe it’s related to how you take care of it at all. My peeling shirts have been like yours which start after 1 or 2 washes, babied or not.

**WARNING ** If you buy a shirt from Woot, be sure to use, wash it within a 30day period.
If you are like me, and have a bunch of Woot t-shirts that you have put away, if they peel, you are SOL.
CS also could not give me any recommendations of how to prevent designs from peeling.
After asking CS for advice, twice, with no suggestions, they asked for order no.
Sent order no. , picture, and again asked if they knew any way to prevent peeling ( ironing, or spraying with some type of solvent that would possibly melt design into the shirt fibers)
Their response was only that the purchase date made it out of warranty!

Thanks for the help, NOT!
