Missing Question and Answer in the FAQ, Found Elsewhere
Q: Café Press has offered custom goods online since 1999. How is Zazzle different?
A: Café Press doesn’t offer custom postage, just for starters. There are just not many people approved by the U.S. Postal Service to make custom postage. I don’t think Café Press has the same collection, the same range of library tools. I’ve looked at the user interfaces, and I think Zazzle is way more convenient, way more easy to use. [»]

*Update: Cafepress now offers custom stamps.
