about visualiser v3.3
welcome to visualiser 3.3, the latest version of zeroboutique.com's incredible shirt store. clicking on one of the round thumbnails at the left of your page will pull up the image on a shirt in this window, from where you will be able to click on any shirt icon to view that design on the shirt of your choice. if you don't feel like shopping today you can enjoy the boutique as a pure gallery by using the pull-down menu at the top of the thumbnsails at left and selecting "prints". then every thumbnail you select will pull up the full image in this window.
or you can just have fun visualising our incredible collection of 165 (and counting) shirt designs on 9 styles of shirts in too many colors to mention. clicking on the color swatches to the right of the shirt changes the shirt color and also opens up the shopping cart options for that particular design and color. so you can in effect instantly add the shirt you see in front of you to your shopping cart. by clicking on the zoom buttons found directly under the shirt you can instantly see any shirt design up close and personal, then shrink it again to order or keep visualising. you can jump to any design using the other pull-down menu found to the bottom right of the shirt. clicking on the "shirt info" option in the pull-down menu opens an info page about that particular style of shirt. and some pages will also have a small "camera" button under the shirt as well- clicking on this opens up a photo of one of our zerokidz wearing that particular shirt.
the visualiser is a concept that we have been dreaming about since we launched the original zero web site in 1998. dan st. george of spikep.com created the original visualiser 1.0, which was a flash site that was never finished or released, and we took that basic idea and turned it into an html site. we may do a flash version at some point down the road, but for now plans include a weekly online radio station, many more pictures of cute gals n' guys wearing our stuff, and of course more amazing shirt designs than you can shake a mouse at. please feel free to write us at zero@zeroboutique.com if you have any questions about the visualiser or the zero clothing company. enjoy.

ourshopping cart system
the visualiser now uses both paypal and ccnow for all online transactions.
paypal paypal is the most widely-used and trusted cash transfer system on the internet, and is open to anyone with an e-mail address and a checking account or credit card.
when you click on the paypal "add to cart" button you will be taken into a new window for the shopping cart. you can then choose to check out, delete any items you don't want or return to the visualiser by closing the window (the cart will remember your selections). if you are ready to check out then you may be prompted for your paypal membership info.
if you don't have a membership yet, you are in luck!! paypal will put $5 in your new account just for joining. click here to join now or take 5 minutes to join when you're ready to check out. once you have finished your order, we will e-mail you a confirmation letter within 24 hours.
ccnow
by popular demand we've decided to add a second payment option on the site for those people who can't, or prefer not to, use paypal. ccnow is a very well-known company that has been securely processing credit card transactions for thousands of web sites for many years now. no membership is required, and they accept payment through visa, mastercard, american express and discover cards. unlike the paypal shopping cart, you will need to choose your color, size and design after opening the ccnow window. due to the fact that ccnow takes a much higher percentage for transactions than paypal, prices in the ccnow cart are also $1 more to ensure that we can get your order to you just as fast.
if you prefer to pay by methods other than paypal or ccnow, we still accept payment by check or international money order through the mail. click here to go to our printable form and get our address. top
about our shirts
we carry quality shirts made by jerico, american apparel, anvil, gildan, cozy creek, hanes and more. all of the shirts we use for our designs are 100% preshrunk cotton except for men's baseball shirts which are a 50/50 poly/cotton blend. besides the one color designs, most of our designs are printed using a durable, thin laser transfer. these transfers are guaranteed to last as long as the life of the shirt. to see & read more about our shirts, click here!top
shipping n' stuff
because of the rising costs of postage, we now add shipping charges of 12% to all orders (this only works out to about $2 per shirt or less). due to the fact that almost everything we do is made to order, shirts can take anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks to reach you (longer overseas depending on your country's postal system). we also have a rush shipping option-for an extra 10 to 14 dollars you can have your shirts in 3 weeks or less guaranteed, or your shipping amount is refunded. click on the rush link at the bottom of this page to add the rush shipping option. you will be contacted by e-mail within 24 hours to confirm your order and let you know that it is ready for processing. zero will not disclose your e-mail address or any other personal information to any other party under any circumstance. top
refunds and exchanges
zero has a "no questions asked" refund and exchange policy. if for any reason you are not completely happy with something you ordered from us, you can return it to us in good condition and we will happily give you credit or provide you with a refund. if you return your goods due to a printing error we will refund your original shipping costs plus the amount it costs you to send the shirts back to us. if you are returning the shirts because you just decided you don't want them we can only refund you or offer you credit for the orginal purchase amount, less any shipping charges. top
paying by check or money order
we accept orders through the mail, provided the payment is made in the form of a check or international money order. you can simply write down what you want and send us your info that way or go to our printable order form if you have a printer. our current mailing address is:

custom orders
since we started printing shirts in 1993 we've done thousands of custom t-shirts for bands, sports teams, pub crawls and much more. now let us put our shirt printing abilities to use for you and create the shirt you've always dreamed of! we are equipped to screenprint up to 4 colors or do full-color prints using laser transfers, and we can handle orders of up to 10,000 pieces if neccesary. below you will find a guide to our base prices. since prices vary according to the style of shirt you're looking for, the method of printing and number of colors in the design, your final quote may not be exactly as shown here.
these prices are based on a one-color design. generally, for each screenprinted color add 50 cents per shirt, although we can do full-color prints using transfers. again, this is only intended as a rough guide and is not meant to give you a final price. so just e-mail us with any and all information you can provide and we will get back to you with a more accurate quote within 24 hours. if you already have your art prepared you can also feel free to include it as an attachment with your e-mail.
if you prefer to speak with someone in person about your shirts, please feel free to give us a call at (902) 425-4659. keep in mind that we are in the atlantic time zone (one hour later than eastern). thanks.

art submissions
at zero we like art a lot.
and although we already have a hefty arsenal of images, our appetite is
never sated. that's why we need your help, and how we can help
you expose your art to the world and maybe even make some kraft dinner money. here's how it works: send us your artwork anyway you see fit: snail or
e-mail, url address or by chinese
junk. if we like your stuff, we'll put it on our site, along with a brief
bio and contact info (if you want).
for every shirt with your image on it that we sell off of the site, we will send you $1.50 us (plus 75 cents per shirt for wholesale orders). all artwork remains solely your copyright, you simply agree to allow us to display your art on our site in exchange for the agreed commission. due to popular demand, we've decided to post our standard artists' contract. just scroll the following text to read it:
while we do like a lot of art, be forewarned that we are notoriously picky about what does and doesn't make it into the boutique. what we really look for is artwork that gives us a certain intangible feeling, so if you think your art is all vibed up with nowhere to go, give us a shout. top
zeroboutique models
many of the models featured on this web site can also be found at the amazing suicidegirls web site (thanks, girls). some are just friends, but all are zerokidz. and you can be a zerokid too! if you would like to appear on this web site and get free shirts in the process, all you need to do is send us some snaps of you in your favorite zeroboutique duds. if we decide to use any of them, we'll give you a free shirt for every picture we use and send you another shirt of your choosing if you agree to send us a picture of you wearing it. click here for more information. top
what's the deal? zero t-shirts was started in 1992 by a guy in his bedroom with an old heat press and a dream. he dreamed of shirts as conversation pieces, not billboards. millions of images. endless variety and choice: a personalized t-shirt revolution. for the first few years, only a handful of stores on the west coast of canada were lucky enough to tap into the zero phenomenon. but in 1998 the first zero website- zero23.com- was launched, and the dream suddenly took on new life. the early zero gallery was a cobbled-together dog's breakfast of hastily scanned and cropped sketches, pilfered comic and magazine pictures and colorized hot rod pics. as an experiment, we decided to try asking for artists to submit their work to be considered for shirt designs. at first there was just a trickle of artwork, but soon the trickle became a flood, and we suddenly got to pick and choose from hundreds of potential candidates, many of them of a much higher calibre than we ever could have hoped for. the zero gallery was completely driven by the contributing artists, and that's what made it such an interesting and dynamic site. in february of 2002, zeroboutique.com was launched, and 10 years after the first germ of an idea that led to this creation was born, a new era started for zero. we hope you like it.
the zero clothing company is based in halifax, nova scotia, canada. operations started in vancouver bc in 1993 and moved to halifax in 1997. we are in no way affiliated with zero skateboards, zero laundry detergent or zero chocolate bars. if you are ever in halifax you can visit our world headquarters but please call ahead of time at (902)425-4659.
