Spamshirt.com, which sells t-shirts with email spam slogans on them, has opened a U.S.-based distribution center to make the shirts more affordable.
U.S. customers can now get their hands on them for $25, rather than paying in excess of $50 to buy them from the U.K.
Bill Dotson opened the distribution center in Kentucky after trying to order one of the shirts himself, only to find that it was a little pricey.
“I thought the Spamshirt concept was great, but the cost to order internationally was too high,” he said. “I contacted Spamshirt and started discussions about a U.S. manufacturing and distribution center. Spamshirt was interested and U.S. customers are now able to purchase Spamshirts at an affordable cost.”
The shirts were created, as the company says, out of a determination to find a use for Spam – the curse of the inbox. Spamshirt is the brainchild of Markus Boeniger, an Internet programmer from Zurich, and Kevin Helas, a graphic/Web designer from London, who founded Spamshirt in July of 2004.
Spamshirt.com lets customers choose from more than 500 spam messages to put on the front of their t-shirt, along with the color of the shirt and lettering. Users can also choose custom messages.
