Scenario of Setting up a Low-cost online T-Shirt store

Ok heres the Scenario

Let say i design my own clothings for my startup business and i have everything up like the website and etc. But one thing is that i do not wish to acquire such a pricy t-shirt printer due to my lack of capital. If so, is it possible for me to sell my tees but get them printed from cafepress? What i mean is when someone buys from my site, i just go to cafepress and purchase the same tee that was being bought by the buyer from my site and then let cafepress deliver the t-shirt to the consumer's doorstep instead? Will that be considered cheating my consumers? Besides i am afraid the packaging of the t-shirt will contain cafepress's name and etc on the outer or inner packaging which my customers might be annoyed at.

Any good advice from the good o souls here or people with the experience?

I'm pretty sure that if you pay for the cafepress store, you would have a private label store

shouldn't be a problem, plus millions of other people are doing the exact same thing, your customers are buying your design and i seriously doubt they care where it comes from.

if you are really concerned with it, just buy bulk from cafepress and indvidually package the shirts that you sell through your website.

Just to put you on notice, your posts are now being monitored. There have been a few complaints about the sarcasm in your posts. Constantly knocking other peoples' ideas, businesses, and opinions will lead to your account being banned. Constructive criticism is fine - derogatory comments are not. Proceed with caution.

Why aren't you doing this via PM?

If a website is unprofessional I will say so. Unfortunately the majority passing through here are.

Please PM me with details of my crimes.
