So I figured I'd finally check this place out - the fabled source of all the shirts - and also take care of some errands on the way. Armed with my curiosity, intuition, Mapquest directions to 4043 N Ravenswood Ave, and the Rocketbird I wanted to exchange, I set out from my abode in Oak Park.

First mistake: Don't do this during rush hour. It took me an hour to go the supposed 10 miles.

Anyway, when I finally spied the Ravenswood Ave sign out of the corner of my eye, I immediately turned left into a tiny, dark street full of foreboding, worn-down warehouses with no doors, much less street numbers. A good 15 minutes and probably two trespassing violations later, I finally figure it might be a good idea to maybe check out the other side of the tracks, since there seemed to be nothing here. Sure enough, within a few minutes, I found myself on an open street was soon face-to-face with the fabled 4043 N Ravenswood. I saw the button labeled "106 skinnyCorp/Threadless", held my breath, pressed it, and...

Nothing.
I pressed it again.

Nothing.

When the hell are your hours anyway?
I heard about the fabled Threadless warehouse and I'm thinking of heading down there. Any know what their hours are? Are they open on Saturday?
Under what circumstances can I exchange a shirt? Can I only exchange if I have a size problem? Or can I just decide I don't like the design anymore and I'd rather have another one?
Wow. Threadless said it would take 8-11 days to ship my order. It took 3 days to ship and 2 more to deliver. That's just impressive. You guys must really like me.
Argh, there were still several guy's smalls left yesterday, and they ALL disappear in one day! That's what I get for being so damn slow...
This is a beautiful shirt and I need some more cheerful colors. Let's get this guy reprinted!
Just a random question from a newbie-

I'm still trying to understand STPs. Do you have to spend them all at once? If you do, how come some people have thousands of them? Are they transferrable?
